Feeling your uterus

[KElwanger]

So I was reading online that when you go to feel your uterus, measure in cm based on what week you are at. The example they used was if you're 5 weeks, your uterus should be about 5cm up from your pubic bone. But then I've also been reading that your uterus stays behind your pubic bone for the first several weeks. Anyone know when you should typically be able to feel it? I'm 6+2.

Not until 12 weeks. I think the cm per week rule only holds true for the 2nd tri. Someone correct me if I'm worried wrong.

And I NEVER felt it. I tried consistently, too. I think around 14 weeks I MAY have felt it kind of, only when I was in a certain position. Now I'm 24 weeks and it's all just a big ol' belly.

If you never feel your uterus, it's fine.

12 weeks plus for above the pubic bone. We generally measure after 20 weeks, so not to worry
