17 weeks: At 17 weeks your uterus should be right below your belly button, so anything above that is probably not your baby. Could be a food baby! pregnancy is full of little discomforts as your body's changing but if your pain is ever unbearable, sharp, stabbing, and you have nausea, you need to see a doctor asap.
