Step 2: Take a look at your pubic bones.
It is possible to get a sense of where you will feel your uterus by finding your pubic bones.Your pubic hair line is above your pubic bones.These bones are what you will feel when you find your uterus.The general guideline is that your uterus should be behind your pubic bones.Your uterus will be behind or under your pubic bones in early pregnancy, making it difficult to feel it.The top of the uterus will get higher as the pregnancy progresses.
Step 3: If you're 20 weeks pregnant, feel your belly.
Your belly button is referred to as your navel.Before you are 20 weeks old, your uterus will be located beneath your bellybutton.Put your hands on your belly.The first day of your last menstrual period is when you become pregnant.It's possible to figure out how far along you are from that date.If you're less than 20 weeks pregnant, you can still feel your uterus.
Step 4: If you are more than 21 weeks pregnant, you should find your uterus above your navel.
Your uterus will be above your naval when you are further along.Just above your belly button, place your hands on your abdomen.Your uterus will be the size of watermelon during your third trimester, so you won't have any trouble feeling it.
Step 5: Press your fingertips against your stomach.
Slowly move your fingertips around your abdomen.Your uterus will be a little firm.When you feel the top of the uterus, it's called the fundus.The fundus feels like a ball inside your belly.
Step 6: Measure the size of your uterus to find out how far along you are.
Measure your uterus to find out how many weeks you are pregnant.Measure the distance between your pubic bone and the top of your uterus.The number should tell you how many weeks you're pregnant.You are likely to be 22 weeks along if the distance is 22 centimetres.If the numbers don't match up, this could mean that your original due date was incorrect.It can be a sign that the baby is smaller than expected or that there is a large amount ofamniotic fluid in the uterus.Don't worry if you get a number when you measure your uterus.Your doctor can perform tests to find out what is going on.
Step 7: If you think you have a uterus problem, call your doctor.
