Ok, all the web site info etc suggests that at 14 weeks pregnant i should be able to feel my uterus at this stage . ..
I have been prodding around my belly but can't feel anything unusual. Where exactly should I be looking and what does it feel like? How hard should I be pressing? ------------- |

It gets easier to feel as you get further on too, by 20 weeks it will be about level with your belly button, and now at 24 weeks I can feel mine about an inch and a half above my belly button, but I suspect mine is a bit bigger than "normal" coz it's my 4th baby. -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

I found the best time to feel it was after sex as it made it go hard  ------------- DS 8 DD 6 DS 4 DD 2 |

It feels like some sort of rim, not too much thicker than the jelly at the bottom of the bowl when it's not stirred properly lol. You will learn to feel it after the mw has done it a few more times too. ------------- |

I could never feel it with Maya, I think coz I didn't really know what I was feeling for. It does get easier with experience! ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)
