    Should I be able to feel my uterus?

    Hi,
    I'm currently working myself into a state of panic. I am 10 weeks pregnant with my 4th baby (6th pregnancy though) and I can't feel my uterus (fundus) when I have a poke around. Should I be able too? I can't remember when i could with my other pregnancies.
    Im getting bad all day sickness and am very fatigued, but could it all be in my head kwim? I just feel like something is wrong, my first scan isn't until the 4th January.
    Thanks for reading x

    Your uterus isn't supposed to come over your pelvis until around 12ish weeks (obviously some later and some earlier than that). But if I were you, I wouldn't be too worried yet.

    It was around 20 weeks that I could - and even then I had trouble as I never knew what I was looking for really I used to have to get the midwife to show me.

    My midwife couldnt even feel mine at 12 weeks. Everything was 100% fine.

    I remember being worried in this pregnancy too cos I couldn't feel anything, till about 18ish weeks? Even at 15 weeks I couldn't feel anything and I was majorly stressed out.

    So don't stress just yet, its still early babe.
