1st Trimester

Carrying high already?

This is my first pregnancy and I am almost 13 weeks. When I went to my 12 week appointment, the nurse had a hard time finding the baby's heart beat with the doppler machine. The problem was that she was scanning too low. Turns out the baby is right under my belly button and I've had a little bump for a few weeks. Is this strange? This website says that at 12-13 weeks the uterus should be just above the pubic bone. Has this happened to anyone else? Any comments would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

  • Usually the uterus isn't that high at 13w. Did you have a dating u/s? That's closer to 20w

  • Your bladder could've been full, or the transducer may have been high but actually pointing down toward your pubic bone.

    This is usually true but there are exceptions. If your doctor didn't mention out was a problem then i would worry over it
