You could be able to feel your uterus at 13 week a bit above your pubic bone, so still really low down. I tried but couldn't feel it till about 15 weeks when it was a bit higher.

how do i know if its my uterus im feeling. thanks x x

I could only really feel the top of mine, which feels like a ridge. Sometimes it's harder than others so if you can't feel it today, try again tomorrow. I think it helps to have your stomach quite relaxed & in the early weeks to have a full bladder which helps to push it up. Some people say laying down helps but I found it easier standing up.

ok thank you, ill keep trying. do i need to push farly hard or push lightly?

I had to press quite firmly to be able to feel it. It was like a hard(ish) line running across my belly.

I didn't really feel mine until around 15-16weeks but I never really tried so that could be why
