Answer #1

They wobble like duckies :D its cute :3

Answer #2

Sure, in the second and third trimester, they have a distinctive “duck walk” b/c of the massive weight of baby, fluids, etc…however, if you just got pregnant recently, you wouldn’t be walking funny at all :)

Answer #3

They have a little person inside of their belly they have to carry around, and that’s not very light. And their ankles swell I believe.

Answer #4

Lmao, i thought it said why.

Answer #5

but im NOT pregnant!!!…. mayb they just meant that i was walking like a duck lol… i hope so anyway

Answer #6

lol its okay

Answer #7

in the later stages, yes- its because of a hormone called relaxin. The two os coxae of your pelvic bone are joint by the pubic symphysis, and in order for the baby to travel through the pelvic outlet, you need more space! Relaxin causes the pubic symphysis to loosen, and yes, it makes you walk like a duck. The extra weight doesnt help matters. I have also seen non-pregnany people who just naturally have a duck walk too!
