carrying low...

so im a teacher and you can only guess all the women at work are always looking at me and asking if im ok (which is fine)

BUT one woman said i was carrying VERY low... now im concerned, is it really low??? and i already feel the pressure down there b/c im 20 weeks and feeling the weight, so is it ok to be that low...

i dont have any pics, but the bump is all under my belly button..

should i be concerned???

Re: carrying low...

I wouldn't be concerned. At this point, your uterus is still low in your stomach....its only as you get into the later weeks that it gets higher. People always have something to say

Re: carrying low...

I am still a little low in my opinion at 30 weeks. I feel a ton of pressure and the ob wasnt concerned at all. SHe likes to chill lower in my body!
I get all kinds of movements now in the upper belly though too...
Dont worry at all. Everyone is different and the body carries pregnancies different. Someone told me about a belt you can buy that can sometimes help the back and ease the pressure.

Re: carrying low...

I have a chart in one of my books-- that basically shows where your uterus should be based on how many weeks you are... think along the lines of counting the rings on a tree to see how old it is.. You can probably find something similar online if you google.

Anyway, you and I are pretty much at the same point-- and I think your uterus is still basically at belly button level or just below.

People are idiots... I mean, you are still pretty early to be carrying any way at all!
