Can you feel your uterus yet?

[FiberLover]

Just wondering if you can, if so, what does it feel like, and where, and how far into your pregnancy are you?

I *think* I can feel mine. When I lay down and relax my tummy muscles, I'll take the flat of my fingers and roll down towards my pubic bone. Approximately 2-3 finger widths above my pubic symphisis I can feel a harder, rounder edge that resists my fingers and what I am assuming to be my uterus. Does this sound right? It is easier to find with a full bladder!

(This is my first pregnancy so it's all new to me! I'm 8 weeks and 3 days now...)

Yup, that sounds right.

I'm 10.5 weeks and can totally feel mine. This is my 4th pregnancy.

I actually had been trying to feel it for about a week and couldn't. Then when I saw my doctor on Wednesday and he felt it, I could too!

Nope, nothin.

Only 8 weeks even though.

9.5 weeks and yes. It's more than an inch above my pubic bone.

ETA: I didn't try to feel it this early with my second, so not sure if this is normal for a second/third, etc. pregnancy. But I also have a strong gut feeling that I'm having twins. Hopefully I'll find out soon.

I'm about 10 weeks and can definitely feel mine - much more so than last time. I can mainly feel it while standing up, not so much while lying down (not sure if this is because mine is retroverted, or because I've got about 20 pounds of fluff), and mine is about an inch above my pubic bone.

I have sort of a lot of belly padding. I only just started to be able to feel it this week, at 11 weeks. If I try to lay too much on my belly at night, I feel like I'm laying on a ball or something!
