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

Is it unusual to be unable to palpate the uterus immediately after delivery?
