You uterus is the size of a soccer ball. The pressure caused by your uterus on your back may cause periodic pains in your lower back and legs.
Your doctor may use a tape measure to measure your "fundal height" to determine the size of your uterus, so as to gauge the progress of your pregnancy.
If you notice that other pregnant mothers' bellies are of a different size, remember that everyone is different. Speak to your doctor if you are still worried.
