Can you feel your uterus yet?

gollywollypog · January 2012

Hey ladies, I am 11 weeks into my 5th pregnancy, I have a 5 year old and a 4 year old and have had two miscarriages. I was wondering if any of you are able to feel your uterus yet in your abdomen? So far I am unable to feel a thing. I go into the Dr for my 12 week appointment next Wednesday. Thanks for your input!

I feel my ute in my right hand.

Seriously though... What?

I'm 11w 5d and I can't feel it yet, that or I don't know what I'm feeling for.

Because it pushes above the pelvic bone sometime around 12 weeks. I have no idea what exactly that would feel like since this is my 1st, but I think that's what OP was asking.

Thanks for the clarification! I was wondering what previous kids had to do with where your ute was and if you were feeling it. Like you'd feel it anywhere else? haha. Makes more sense that she's felt it before and is waiting for it again.

nope, but I've got a pretty awesome layer of bloat and flab there, so it might be different for thinner ladies.

I was wondering if any thin ladies could feel it. I've been feeling my abdomen while laying on my back, but I figured my lack of feeling anything was due to it being too soon, not knowing what to feel for, and being very overweight.

I'm pretty sure I can feel mine now. I've been trying to for a couple of days (weird, I know, but I think it's cool). I'm pretty sure it's right above my pubic bone.

You can kind of push down low and it should feel kind of firm and then just keep going upward and you can feel it kind of drop off in mushy bloat It's cool to track it as it gets bigger and bigger. I never did with my first pregnancy and maybe not even my second, but I remember doing it last time and thought it was neat.

I'm thinner and can feel it. It feels really hard around and above my hair line. It's so weird feeling, like I'm having a cramp or something, that's how hard it is. I can't feel it as well by the end of the day when I'm super bloated with all the food I've eaten.

I've been feeling for mine and don't think I can feel it yet. I have a prenatal tomorrow and plan to ask my doctor if she can feel it on the outside and then to show me where it is so I can feel it myself.

in the low mid section its thicker and totally weird.

I can feel it now that I had my appt, and saw where they were aiming with the ultrasound stick and doppler. Its just right above your pubic bone, (at least it is for me) I was 11 weeks on tuesday and measured 4 days ahead of schedule so I will be 12 weeks tomorrow. Congrats on your LO

I just felt mine (9w4d), but I am pregnant with twins.

I don't think I can feel it from the outside yet (although I can't say I've been trying...?), but I can definitely feel it from the inside when I lay on my stomach.
