Lol that may sound weird.. I didnt know how to word it.. But anyhow, ive been doing alot of reading up on pregnancy of course, and in alot of the things I read it keeps telling me I may be able, and in some it says I should be able, to feel my uterus like a few inches or a little bit below my belly button.. And in some pics I see of girls preg. Bellys, I can see where the uterus ends or sticks out or whatever, know what I mean? Its like a little bulge sometimes, not just complete roundness in the belly. . But I cant seem to see mine or feel it? Is that normal? I mean I do have a belly there though.. Ive felt around but I guess maybe I dont know exactly what im expecting to feel.. Im 15 weeks today by the way* anyone know? Thanks alot*

also, hows everyone doing? And how far along are the other preg. Girls today? Smile

Allo!
Well I was wondering that too cuz all the pictures in my books or on pregnancy, show that I should be bigger by now but im not! People told me tho that usually if its ur first pregnancy, it wont be around till 20 weeks when u actually start getting more rounder and stuff... But if its second.. Sometimes u can be 28 weeks and still be skinny (the lucky ones lol!) just thouight that might be helpful!

*oh i'm 14 weeks and 1 day today Smile

For a while it will be very soft a moveable, sometimes you can actually feel water and if you push hard enough you can feel the baby that early depending where he or she is. Around the early 3rd trimester it will get hard, like a soccer ball, and you will be able to feel just the baby. Hope this helps
