A member asked:
Should belly feel firm, hard at 5 weeks? is it that my uterus is high at the time and that upper belly is uterus i feel? or is it b/c i'm thin 118 pds

Belly at 5 wks: Your belly at 5 weeks should not feel any different than what it feels when you are not pregnant. The growth of your uterus at this stage is minimal and i suspect most of your perceived firmness is psychological, meaning it comes from the fact you know you're pregnant.
