When could your urerus be felt ???Did the sonographer press hard????

[broodymom]

Hi, i'm 10+4 weeks and at my Mw visit she tried to feel for the uterus and said she feels nothing! is that normal? when do they feel it? She says that at my scan on mon to expect the sonographer to press hard against the abdomen! Has anyone else experienced this? thanks.

I read that the uterus is the size of a grapefruit at this time surely that would be felt? I'm getting worried.

I think in a first pregnancy it is 12 weeks before it can be felt.

This is my third!! i dont remember what happened the last time its been 8 yrs! lol

yeah I always understood that the uterus would be below the pelvic brim (so still in your groin area) before 12 weeks, so you wouldn't expect to feel it that early. btw even when I was further along in PG, the sonographer pressed hard at times to get a good view.

Did they, that makes me feel better about it i'm so worried about going for the scan and them telling me i'm not pg or somethings wrong we have been desperatly trying for this baby for a long time and suffered 2 early mc along the way.

Sonographer pressed hard at 12 week scan for DS and again in this pregnancy with no2 so dont worry aobut it broodymom
