Feeling Your Uterus

[Deleted]

It is definitely more padded than it seems, but it feels really weird to me too. It is much harder than I expected it to be. I don't think my abs have ever felt this firm lol

Yep. And if I press then the baby will move and kick. It's wild.

I can't really, or I don't know what I'm looking for.

The doctors have been able to feel it from my very first appointment though.

It is worth noting that I have quite a bit more belly fat than you do though, which I'm sure makes a difference.

I can now. I couldn't that early, it was still really far down.

[smock]

Yes, but it creeps me out so I don't poke it. I am way too polite with this fetus--I don't want to disturb it, lol!

It's weird, because the top part of my belly is really hard and kind of protruding, but I know the baby isn't that high up yet (just had an u/s this morning and she's really low, actually). So I don't know what I'm feeling, but I'm guessing it's not my uterus, lol. Also, my uterine area (or whatever) is super sore right now, so while I'm aware of where it is, I can't really actually *feel* feel it, if you know what I mean. I've got some extra fat going on, though, too, so that might be a factor.

Pretty sure I have even more. I have no idea what y'all are talking about.

I have no idea what is what in there but, after a big meal, something hard is pushing up against the bottom of my boobs and it is so weird.

I'm kind of in the same boat. I always have a little bit of lower belly chub but usually above the belly button is flat, and now it protrudes a little and my lower belly protrudes even more than usual. It's firm when I stand up but still kinda jiggly when I lay on my side. I think I still just have a ton of bloat though, especially since it doesn't look too bad in the morning but is noticeably bigger in the evening. I'm hoping the bloat goes away when i stop progesterone supps in a week or so. I'm really hoping to be able to hide it at least until my next appointment in 3 weeks!

I have twins in there and I'm in your party - no clue what they're talking about. My belly is harder than normal, but there is no distinct uterus or baby parts to be felt.

I could always feel it after second tri, it was so weird to me.
