Uterus

12w today. Keep reading I should be able to feel it starting to pop up? What am I looking for? Lol I don't feel anything but a bloated tummy right now. Also on my doppler baby's hb is super low.. Like on public bone. Getting concerned.

Re: Uterus

  • I'm not sure about feeling your uterus but I had my 15 week appointment today and the HB was on my pubic bone as well so I don't think that is cause for concern.

  • I'm 12w5d and heartbeat was right near my left hip bone very low. Totally normal.
  • I can feel the top of my uterus (right below my belly button) when I lay down. Mine hasn't "popped" yet, I'm guessing that means protruding from your abdomen? Each person is different and the 'popping" will happen at different times for each lady.

  • This is probably a stupid question but what does it feel like though?
  • ummm if you are laying down and you run your hands pretty firmly from the top of your abdomen down you will hit what feels like a shelf. Its harder than the rest of your abdomen and when you push down you should feel some tension in your pelvic area, just like when your OB/MW feels around to measure your fundal height.

  • If you lay on your back and try to flex your abs, you may feel what feels like a bulge in your pelvic region...that's your uterus.

  • Oh man I wish I didn't read this. I like to be thoroughly in the black about this stuff lol.
  • I definitely wouldn't be concerned, It's good to be observant though. I'm 12 weeks, and I can feel mine popping out of the top of my pubic bone, still super super low, but it's been different with all 4 of mine, so it's hard to compare things!

  • It's not really something most people notice and it doesn't noticeable stick out. I know mines measuring 2 weeks ahead and I still have no idea where it's at or what it feels like and this isn't my first rodeo.
  • Basically what @SoSweetTea1124 said. I mentioned in HDBD about feeling mine but I just feel it when I lay down, and I'll be 15 weeks tomorrow.

  • I'll be 13w tomorrow and I still find baby's heart rate super low, and sometimes it takes a minute. chalked it up to how active they probably are right now! They're ready so little, movement doesn't help when trying to find the heart rate.
