If you ask a specialist a question about how to palpate the uterus during pregnancy, with a high degree of probability he will be against carrying out such a procedure at home. But even if such restrictions do not stop the patient, she must adhere to the following rules:
• It is strictly forbidden to perform actions too often;
• No movement should be accompanied by pain or discomfort;
• All actions must be performed slowly and smoothly;
• During the examination, you need to relax as much as possible.
After careful preparation, the girl should take a horizontal position, relax the muscles of the lower abdomen and pelvis, and begin to gently palpate the abdomen from above in the place where the uterus is supposed to be located. If pain occurs, the procedure should be stopped.
Self-diagnosis is carried out in a relaxed state.
If during the diagnosis the walls were soft to the touch, we can tentatively assume that pregnancy has occurred. However, only a doctor can confirm this fact after examining the woman in a chair. At about 3-4 months of gestation, the uterus descends to the bottom.
