A member asked:

I'm pregnant and why is it tender where the uterus is when pressed down on?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pregnancy.: During pregnancy the uterus and contents (and the rest of the pelvic contents) are undergoing a lot of stretching and growing. That can lead to a little discomfort.
