Pregnancy

6 weeks (ish) pregnant and I can feel my womb...I think - can I?

Just wondering, this is my second time and I've noticed in the last few days that when I bend over I am aware that something is in there.

I'm not explaining this very well. I think around 13 wks last time I was lying on my stomach and realised that I could feel something (presumably uterus + baby!) and I think I feel like that already.

Has anyone else had this?

Oh yes!! when I was about 6 weeks pregnant I was convinced I was about 14 weeks as I felt more (was also certain I could feel baby moving etc) - went for a dating scan and was only 6 weeks!

THank you TheMaskedPoster! I've been having the same thoughts - but then I've been rationalising that the whole thing is probably the size of a grain of rice or something so what is it?! I suppose it's because it all got so stretched last time it happens quicker 2nd time around? I'm already starting to notice what passed as a waist is getting harder to see...

Yes the baby is as small as a grain of rice but yer womb is the size of a small plum apparently so I agree that it feels like something is there. Am at 6 weeks also

arf .. yes, yes - that all sounds incredibly familiar. However now (at 26 weeks) I realise what it really is to just glimpse belly when looking southwards ... and look back at the early preggers photos wondering what planet I was on (but I was certain I looked pregnant at 6 weeks!)

Well my husband has told people but I have not told my son or my parents yet. My son is 8.

Congratulations to you also!

I have felt mine since about 6 weeks, I am 10 weeks now, and it feels heavier now.

I know exactly what you mean, you just know its a baby in there dont you?
