going to work in post-partum

maybe it just wasn't contracted or the pt was too "plump" for it to be very obvious.

If you could not feel that "cricket ball" hard uterus under your hand post delivery, then you would suspect abnormal. Its very distinctive, and normally so easy to feel.Suspect then.. Maybe retained products, preventing the uterus from contracting, check the bleeding..be aware of pph.

Two other reasons for not being able to feel uterus:

1. She's sitting up to high. It's easiest to palpate the fundus if the patient is lying flat. The "fluffier" the patient, the more important it is for her to be flat.

2. Inverted uterus. If the fundus is in the lady parts, you won't feel it abdominally
