I think this is a misconception people come up with to feel better about it. Your uterus sits in your pelvis, behind the bladder. And your intestines normally occupy the space above your pelvis (upper abdominal). I’m 21 now so maybe I just need to start working out more and eating a little better.
Our organs don’t sit that far up front in our tummies. There’s no protection there. Oftentimes causes of a belly pooch might be anatomical positioning, posture, bloating and probably the most common-fat. Compared to males, we store more fat in our lower tummies and under arms. It’s normal but I prefer a completely flat look
girl idk why you’re getting downvoted it’s ok to prefer yourself a certain way. i’m naturally petite and ofc i experience bloating and such but i also have a flat stomach at times. everyone is different but if you’re happy with what’s in the mirror that’s all that matters and you have control over what your body looks like with diet and exercise choices
No one said that a belly pooch is a misconception. If you actually read my comment/s, I said the reasoning “it’s your organs” for a belly pooch is a common misconception. Because it is. Oftentimes women will say “Oh it’s your uterus” but everyone knows your uterus sits further back. It’s not what causes a pouch. It’s that simple
