Basically ive heard you should feel your uterus, itll feel like a small ball?
I cant? Should I be worried?
Ive had my first scan and all was normal and im now 14+5.
I am also a size 22/24 will this have anything to do with it? Im scared to prod around my stomach too much incase I hurt baby :(

If you’re a bit larger it’s very possible you won’t feel it for a good while longer, especially in a first pregnancy. At 14 weeks it’s really just starting to edge out of the pelvis so it’s still small.

Honestly don’t worry about it - you’ve had a scan and all is normal. It could be 4-5 weeks more or even longer before yoivhave a bump - I’ve known people get to 8m and still have no sign of one.

And I can say with certainty that in a few months you will certainly be able to feel it! (One week to go here and it’s inescapable...)

I am a similar size to you and found it very difficult to feel my uterus until much further along. Didn’t stop me producing two healthy babies! Try not to worry.

The Dr said I couldn't be more than 12 weeks bexause she couldn't feel mine. Turns out I was nearly 16 weeks so I wouldn't worry! I was a size 12 at the time for reference.
