Reply With QuoteIs it possible that what you can feel is just your intestine? That becomes quite distended in early pg. It could be what you can feel. I think its too high to be your uterus if its just under your belly button.
Congratulations by the way!

Are you sure you're only 5 weeks?
I wouldn't stress too much, it is normal, but it sounds a little big to me (no expert!)
Maybe if you're sure your dates are right go chat to your gp. There might be an extra one in there
Good luck

Until 12wks your uterus is still tucked safely behind your public bone. You can't feel it under your belly button till around 20 wks. I would say that it is something else that you can feel.

Yep unless you're way more pregnant than you think, it's definitely not your uterus! At 5 weeks it is most likely bloating

You would find it won't be your uterus. I too can feel (when laying on my side) some big buldge around there, but even at 10 weeks my bub is only about the size of a large grape... so its not my uterus either. My midwife couldnt even feel my uterus when i was 12 weeks preg with DD.
