What does the uterus feel like when it pops up???

[tiggerz]

Just wondering what you can feel as your uterus moves up? This isn't my first pg but I've never thought to feel for the uterus previously! Just wondered what it should feel like and when!??! I suppose I am very nervous as I haven't got ms etc!!! If I could feel my uterus growing this would make me feel calmer - maybe!

I have no idea. When does this happen tiggerz???

I have been having a dull pain in my right side today which I think must be stretching.

When it fills the pelvis it pops/peeps up over the pubic bone. This I understand happens anywhere from 11/12 wks???!!

I dont know how i didnt see this! this i can answer

To me it feels like a wee balloon has come above the pelvic bones. if i lie on my tummy, lean against the bench, or have my daughter sitting on me, It feels like a bulge of pressure and it feels like it could pop if it gets pressed on (it wont lol).

 

[starfairy]

Oh maybe this happened to me the other day? Or do you think that is a bit too early (would have been 9 wks 5 days).

 

[MiissMuffet]

is this your 1st bub? If so then possibly a tad early, but in saying that mine popped at 11 weeks with 1st bub, and just b4 10 weeks 2nd bub

 

[starfairy]

Thanks for clarifying MissMuffet it is the first bub to come this far.

Maybe my podge is just 'extra cushioning' - I have lost weight but I'm heaps bigger around my belly.

Thankyou x I think this may have happened going by your description - I'm between 10-11 wks (discrepancy between my dates and early grainy us) 4th pregnancy to get this far hopeful 3rd take home baby

Do you think I'm far enough on!? I know I look rounder and clothes are tight!!

Sorry to highjack your thread Tiggerz! I don't think my has popped and I'm 12 weeks. Though my belly is podgy, could this be the reason? It certainly doesn't look pregnant.

I feel podgy too - have you tried laying down on your back and feel just about your pubic bone - I can kinda feel something squishy but firm? Iykwim Not certain if it's the womb or not????

I can't feel mine with my hands, I've tried, but I can feel GREAT pressure when I lay on my side, or on my tummy. And sometimes, I even have a hard time getting off the couch, just cause its in the way of where I need to bend haha.

I totally agree with MiissM, it feels like a balloon! I was just describing it to my husband today, actually. I feel...rolly-er? Like I can't squish my legs together all the way or curl up tightly in fetal position (as I like to do when I sleep!).

I was wondering the same hehe. This is my first and I'm a thin person so was wondering when I would show, and how it'd feel?

I'm at 11 weeks and a few minutes ago, I was palpating my lower stomach to feel for a firm ball or firm nudge. I think I feel something above the pubic bone but still not sure? haha....I look pg but my mid section is all bloat so.....perhaps for thin first timers as myself, it takes time to see an actual little bump, huh?

 

[LaRockera]

My bloat was gone at 10 weeks and instead my belly above my pubic bone started feeling like a soft ball, sometimes firmer than others.

I'm 11 weeks today so I guess it's just now started to form. Even though I'm a perfect UK 8 size I've always had a bit of belly, so I imagine it will take me a while to properly show, even though my DH says he can see the tiny bump only slightly beginning to form.

I think it's the firmness (when standing up) that is different. There's a "smile" formed underneath the bump that wasn't there before- ie. you couldn't tell I had a bit of a belly if you looked at me en face before. It looks tighter now.

 

[tiggerz]

I am sure i can feel something just above my pubic bone - and like one of you said I can't lay on my side in a fetal position as I feel like I'm squashing something!!!
I am petrified of mc again but surely this means baby and womb is growing, right???!

Im pretty sure my uterus has moved up today! My lower abdomen was hard and firm beforehand but now it is literally like a balloon! I can feel it and its hard to press down on it because it feels like it might pop! does this sound right? xx
