Fundal height

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Anyone else been able to find their fundus yet? I was surprised when my 2yo sitting on my belly felt like she was sitting on my uterus at only 12-13 weeks. I couldn't sort out what I was feeling except for a lump to the lower right of my belly button. I figured it was intestinal. But it was there again days later, then switched sides after a minute! I have finally concluded that my fundus is a couple fingers below my navel and that hard spot is the size baby is supposed to be.

My MW comes tomorrow so I'll confirm with her then, but I was shocked for it to be so high! Granted, this is number five!! Not thrilled that tummy lying is quickly coming to an end, though. lol.gif

My midwife was able to find it at 9 weeks, but obviously she's more of an expert than I am.  lol.gif  I haven't really felt around yet, I will tonight because now I'm curious!

Right! lol.gif I know at 10 weeks it was still low, near the pubic bone. I'm shocked how high it's gotten in just three weeks!
