Yes : Usually i can't palpate the uterus until after 12 weeks gestational age, so it's still normal if you can't feel anything yet. Don't worry, wait for it....

12 weeks: At 12 weeks, there is a lot of complex development occurring in your womb, but "size" growth has not really kicked in. The only way to check for sure is with and exam and/or ultrasound, which you may be scheduled for at some point soon (check with your ob). It's easy to worry about such things, but listen to your ob's instructions and f/u as planned unless something seems out of the ordinary.
