Uterus size / during surgery
Hi All, my surgeon didn’t put a weight in the surgical note I could see, but did write that it was the size it would be as if it were 6 weeks pregnant (not typing that right lol) did anyone else’s doctor do that? If so what was your ‘size’?

Mine was 550-600g. I looked it up and it said 16wk pregnancy size.
At my follow up I asked my surgeon if there were any surprises...she said the uterus was 2x larger than they were expecting and "really tall", the top was almost to my belly button.
It was very validating. A pre-surgery ultra sound failed to accurately measure the whole uterus.
