uterus measurment (couldnt find utuers) 14 weeks. Slight cramping few inches below belly button.

The doc had a hard time finding the utuers but then eventually found it on the right side a few inches under my belly button. She couldnt feel it on the left. Is that because the baby sticks it out more? What makes it difficult to find? Im 13 weeks and 5 days. I cant find it myself she tried to show me but i couldnt tell the difference.

has anyone eles had mild cramping kinda by the pubic bone (few inches below belly button)? Ive been having that on and off since friday. Not bad or severe but noticable. Sometimes period like, sometimes just regular cramps.

The heartbeat was around 150.

If you push upwards with your fingers or if your pants or undies are pushing right on the hair line it can irrate the uterus. Mine just gets a sharp pain and then goes away.
The normal hair line is a good physical marker as to where the end of the pelvis is, and where the bottom of the uterus begins.

Yesterday I had a lot of pulling and tugging pain going on, then this morning I am showing more than yeserday. I know that pains where from the uterus growing.

I get pains right where the hair line begins. She said that is the bottom of my uterus, and it isn't so happy with being pushed on from the bottom. I went in at 13W2D and my uterus was measuring 10cm, and the babies heart rate was 165. His or her heart rate has always been fast, I wernt in at 6 weeks and it was 160, then 168, then 165, and again 165. . . . WOW! I would have a heart attack if my heart rate was that fast 24/7!

I've been having it on and off...I think it is pretty normal as your body changes.  Not sure about the uterus...they found mine at 8 weeks.
