Lolllll. Glad u don't think the baby will end up in your stomach.  But I would say maybe at 6 months

Your uterus should've popped from behind your pubic bone by now. But then again, everyone is different. Throughout the second trimester, it will gradually move up towards your belly button. At 20 weeks, your uterus should be at or close to your belly button. Your uterus will be closer to your sternum throughout the third trimester.

^ I'm pretty sure she meant mean does the uterus grows enough so she's showing and her belly is round .... Everyone is different girl that's a hard question to ask because no baby is the same either

I do want to mention that all of your organs shift around for the growing uterus.  Things move up and over.  Your rib cage will even expand.  And then after baby, you do major contracting as the uterus shrinks back down and your organs go back to the right spots.  good luck

Hm, I'm also confused.  Babies never are in your stomach.  Your stomach is moved higher always above the uterus.  good luck

It will be quite a while before you feel the baby higher in your stomach. I'm 5 months and I still feel the baby really low.

I'm not sure what you mean. The baby never moves to your stomach. The baby stays in the uterus the entire time of your pregnancy
