Accepted Answer

Orthopedic evaluatio: Sometimes what we think is isolated issue is not. The shoulder girdle is very complex set of bones and muscle connections. Sometimes if there is an imbalance or shift in other structures the result is what you have. Mild forms of kyphosis and scoliosis can result in a prominent scapula. Check with an orthopedic doc for evaluation.

Question 3

can be done to fix my protruding chin?

Accepted Answer

Several options: A critical question is whether your teeth fit together normally. If they do, a genioplasty can be done: the bone of the chin is cut and recessed to yield a more normal profile. If not, the problem may not be isolated to your chin but may be caused by an abnormal relationship between your upper and lower jaws. See a craniofacial, plastic or facial plastic surgeon with experience in this area.

Accepted Answer

Yes: Not having a belly 12 weeks  is very common. Everyone's body is different  and is dependent  on if you have had a baby already, your  weight  and general physical condition. I find that  many women are worried because of  other people's comments. Such as  " are you sure you are 3 months,  you look small".   If there is a concern about your  size at any time, discuss it with your doctor.
