Uterus high up 23 weeks?!

[sheeps24]

Hi ladies .. I always moaned with my first LO I didn't get a big belly! It stopped growing at about 33 weeks! I had growth scans and having them this time too .. I already feel huge! I'm not exactly skinny anyway but I know what's baby ... I read up your uterus should be a couple of inches above your belly button but I swear mine feels way way above! I feel a hard ridge but it's so high up! Is that possible and does anyone else feel huge!!

Hiya. I'm pregnant with baby number 3-feeling a lot smaller this time around but I definitely feel like my uterus is much hire up than I've read about! X

I'm pregnant with number 2, and baby has been right up by my ribs giving me a kicking every night, and I'm 20 weeks!

I am only 5'1 and have a tiny torso though to be fair haha!

Thank ladies! I don't see the midwife until 28 weeks so she might measure then?!

You get a bit abandoned 2nd time round with not many appointments!

I've been consistently measuring 2-3 weeks ahead this pregnancy and baby has been up in my ribs for quite a while now. He was measuring 2 days behind at my 7 week scan, 3 days ahead at my 12 week scan and was in the 80th percentile at my 20 week scan so I'm suspecting that's why. Also this is my fourth baby so my uterus is pretty stretched lol

I'm only 20 weeks and I've been feeling kicks much higher up than they say you should. I'm quite short too at 5' 2".
Maybe that does have some bearing on it?
