What does your ute feel like?

This is mostly for the ladies who already have a bit of a bump forming or already has a child.  I know that at my week,  your ute should just be poking out from behind your pubic bone.  However, when I woke up this morning my stomach was flat but from about an inch below my belly button down is hard as a rock!  I was thinking its just wierd bloat, but usually bloat is squishy.

I haven't had an exam yet (i go on Friday) so I don't know anything about my baby.  I keep having these twin intuitions, but I don't read much into them.  I could be further along than I thought, but I highly doubt it. 

have I completely lost my mind?  Or is my body giving me some strange bloat?  

Obviously, my doctor will set me straight... but I'm looking for a bit of input.

TIA!

    Mine has been feeling "solid" like yours. It is not too early for you to be able to feel your ute. BTW this is my second child.

    Usually you don't feel the ute above the pubic bone until week 12. To feel it at you belly button usually happens at week 20. If you are 9 weeks along, I think you are more likely feeling your intestines/ poop

    That sounds like bloat, but my ute is definately tight up about 3inches from my belly button.

    Your uterus is a muscle, so it should feel on the firm side, but it doesn't make its way past the pubic bone until around week 11-12.  It reaches the belly button at week 20.

    I've been feeling mine right above the pubic bone since about 9 weeks. It never goes away and verrrrrrry slooooooowwwwwwwwy it's been growing. But it feels just like you described. Are you very tall? If you're short (like I am), you may be able to feel it sooner. And I can only feel it if I'm standing up.

    Yes, I'm tall, somewhere between 5'10-11ish.  But, I'm really short waisted and all legs! 

    Everyone:  Thanks for your input!  I'm excited to have my doctor/midwife (haven't met who i'm assigned to, yet) tell me exactly where everything is located at this point.
