Brief Answer:
IT starts with the lowerm but eventually the upper!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.

I am so happy to hear about your pregnancy. Your weight increase and the increasing size of your tummy is normal. While tummy often starts with the lower part, eventually the upper part gets involved. 12weeks is just about right for you to start witnessing this. This is normal and there is no worry around this.

I wish you a safe pregnancy.

Did your doctors do a blood test? If yes, share the results with me. If all is fine, you may not need to take any supplements.
