Should I be able to feel my uterus yet?

This is my first baby and I was just wondering if I should be feeling my uterus yet. My jeans haven't fit in weeks because of my ridiculous bloat but I haven't felt and real bump yet. Is it too soon?

Usually, the uterus pops up after 12 weeks....sometimes before, but usually after 12 weeks. Try not to worry too much about it....I've been having a poke and can't feel mine

I could feel the top of my uterus above my pelvis at 11 weeks but this is also my 3rd baby so I think that might have something to do with it. The norm is 12 weeks. So anyday now for you!

Since it's your first it may take a little longer to start to feel the uterus. Your muscles haven't been stretched from previous pregnancies, no worries. You'll get there soon. Congrats

Sorry if this seems like a silly question , but how can you tell if you are feeling your uterus?

hello just popping over from 2nd tri
dont worry if you cant feel it. im not a big girl but ive got a bit of fat there and i didnt feel mine properly till about 16-18 weeks. i think it will all depend on how baby is lying and if your bladder is full and pushing it out a bit.
youll know if its your uterus as it will be quite hard and if your lucky if you poke it you might get a kick back
try taking a pic ofyourself once a week from a side view so you can see how much your growing and you should be able to see how much of your tummy is your uterus

I can feel mine, I'm quite slim and this is my third pregnancy x

My midwife could feel mine yesterday. With my toddler, I didn't feel it until I was about 16 weeks along.

I just know when I can feel it, it feels...weird...hard to describe. When it gets poked it almost gives me a cramping feeling.
