A member asked:

Im 16 weeks pregnant and no baby bump at all my belly is completely flat but they did say my uterus is tilted back. is a flat belly at 16 weeks norm?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Retroverted uterus: You have a retroverted (tilted back) uterus which is leaning back towards the hollow of your spine and initially will not be visible in the front of your abdomen yet. Just wait a few weeks and that will change as the pregnancy progresses.
