Am I the only one that feels weird trying to find my uterus?
My fingers won't go up that far. I kid, I kid.
I guess you can try to "feel" where the top of your uterus is by pressing on your belly, but I'm getting nothing but squishy jelly. Man, I'm on a role this morning.
Anyway, anyone else feel like you're doing damage??

Re: Am I the only one that feels weird trying to find my uterus?
LOL.
you'll feel it soon enough.
I can feel the top of mine. Are you laying flat when you try it? Mine is about an inch or a tiny bit less about my hair line. Your not gonna do damage, dont worry your baby has lots of cushioning in there.
it wouldn't even occur to me to try to feel it.
....interesting.
i found this advice on the net....and it helped me feel it at week 8...haven't tried since tho:
Lay down on a flat surface (floor, not bed). Taking your fingers, start at pubic bone, and "stack" fingers however many weeks you are. (as if you were measuring...width wise). When you hit your week, start to push down, and feel around. You should feel a ridge. thats it!
I also read something about when you are peeing, lean forward, and push your belly with your fingers, then you'll feel it. That didn't work for me at all. Good luck!
