Worried about uterus height

[bekib10]

Hi Ladies,

I'm not sure whether I should be worried or not, can you help?

I noticed when lying on my back last night that my uterus is rock hard, I'm sure it didn't used to be. Also at 20 weeks I could feel that the top was up at my belly button, when I felt it last night it was about the same level or just below, when I'm sure it should be higher by now. I'm pretty certain my bump has got bigger in the last few weeks but doesn't seem to be getting higher I am still feeling LO kick but the kicks are usually quite low down.

Should I be worried? My next MW appointment is 6th October.

Thanks ladies!

Sounds like you were having a braxton hicks. Also it's hard too feel the top of your uterus sometimes. Mine also feels right at belly button, but dr. said I was measuring bigger!! So I honestly wouldn't worry about it!

i wouldnt be worried luv,i had mine measured at 18wks and it was 20cm so was bigger than should have been,but MW said they can be 2cm above or below so was normal coz i was bit worried as i have thought from beginning im further on than what the scans say.

Glad you posted this as I was having same concerns. But while ever baby is active I wasn't too worried. Plus we both have a family full of shorties. They didn't seem concerned by size at the scan either.

Im 24 wks on tues. My bump is same as u. I only feel movement very low down. Its my 3rd baby and my muscle tone must b quite loose, i think my baby is probably engaged already. My bump is very low. I wouldnt b worried as my best mate was like this with her first, we are both slim. Basically your body will carry your baby a certain way. Make a mw app anyway regardless weither its due or not the drs receptionist will just bk u in they dont check dates, your mw will c u anyway and it wil put your mind at rest, midwives are paid to do a job dont b scared to ask advice x
