What does the shape of your baby bump mean?

If you believe the old wives’ tales, a bump that sits high on the stomach means you’re having a boy, while a low, rounded bump that spreads over the waist and hips is a girl.
But experts say this is nonsense.

‘Babies vary in shape and size, but nowhere near as enormously as bumps do,’ explains Sarah Fox, policy adviser at the Royal College of Midwives. ‘The bump of a 10lb baby can look smaller than that of a 6lb baby, depending on the shape of the mother’s body.’

Short women often appear to have larger bumps

A short torso means there is less room for the uterus to grow upwards between the pelvis and the ribs, so it has no option but to expand outwards as the baby grows. In a woman with a longer torso, the uterus stays narrow and the bump looks smaller.

Fit mums carry higher

Tight abs offer more support and lift to a growing uterus, so fit mums-to-be often carry higher, particularly with a first pregnancy.

The bigger the dad, the bigger the bump

The Parents build is often linked to a baby’s birth weight, and many women think it accounts for their bump’s shape and size.
