Starting to feel my uterus

[indiegirl]

Sometimes, depending on how I am standing or sitting, I can feel my uterus and how full it is. It's so neat to actually feel pregnant! I'm still in my regular clothes--hooray! With my other two, I was in maternity clothes by this time. I'm still pretty exhausted in the afternoons, but hardly ever feel sick anymore.

I'm starting my second trimester next week! Holy cow!

i can feel mine in the sense that i know it's there, but it's still definitely under the pubic bone. although, when i lay down sometimes i can poke around under the bone and feel something round and hard...the short, embarrassing truth is: i don't know. the fundus isn't supposed to clear that bone until 12 weeks, though, right? i'll be at 10 in a couple of days, so i think i've got a bit to go, still.

the rest of my belly sure is making itself known, though! sheesh. i just grew out of another pair of pants.

I'm not sure either and I am 11 weeks. Maybe I'll have dh poke around and see what he thinks. I guess that sounded bad. If I can't though it will just give me one more thing to worry about.

I can feel mine and I've been able to for a couple weeks. I'm two months along. Last time, by 2 1/2 or 3 months, if I lay on my back you could see the lump of my uterus above the pubic bone, and it was definitely the uterus because I was quite thin at the time. I guess everyone just grows at different rates.

last time mine was always bigger than it should have been. I mean the fundal height was correct but further up, I just have a very small short waist. By then end of my pregnancy the baby would actually kick his foot up above my ribs between the bones and the flesh, very uncomfortable.
This time so far I can't feel it externally yet ('m only 8 weeks) but I can feel it there and full in me.
It also kind of feels like it is buzzing or humming? Hard to describe, and I don't remember this from last time. It's not kicking, just this weird vibrating feeling low in my belly. I have no idea why.

I can feel mine if I poke around, but I don't have that full feeling. I can't wait until I can feel that fluttering sensation of the baby moving

[TalkToMeNow]

Mine is really easy to feel. It is already more than half-way between my pubic bone and belly-button... which seems a bit soon for that. I'm 11 1/2 weeks. But it is definetly there. I can't sleep on my stomach at night because I can feel my uterus and it is uncomfortable. Is it normal for it to be so high with a second pregnancy?

At my OB appointment last Friday, at 10 weeks, I was able to feel it- when my OB was pressing from the inside. Still pretty low.

Actually the other day when dh and I were having a little "playtime" in bed, I could really feel it move whenever he was very deep-- sorry, probably TMI : , but it made me laugh.

Just starting to show, but not really visable through clothes. Of course, I still have a nice belly from #1, lol.

I can to feel my uterus now!
When standing or laying down,its a little harder to feel while sitting... still have a bit of post"babies"pudge left there!! LOL

[jecaly]

giddily,
jennifer (10 weeks 3 days)

I think the baby had a little growth spurt on Friday...all day I kept having that sharp, stretching ligament pain when I stood up from sitting, or stretched straight up, and then I sneezed...OW! Searing pain, like I was splitting in half! Now I notice when I lean against the counter when I am at the sink I can feel my uterus, so I definately think there's been some growing the last few days

I don't think I can feel mine yet but I'm only 10 weeks. I have a little "pooch" though. I can't fit into my jeans anymore without being terribly uncomfortable.
