Where does a doctor press on your stomach to tell if your pregnant?

The Dr is probably checking what is called your fundal height. Fundal height is determined by the size of the uterus to determine fetal growth and development. The Dr could also be checking the position of the baby if you are getting close to delivery.

∙ 12y agoThe doctor doesn't examine your stomach for pregnancy, he examines your cervix and uterus. Your medical care provider (Doctor, NurseMidWife, PA) is feeling for normal changes in and the position of the cervix. She/he may check for the size of the uterus (depending how far along you are) and the size of your pelvis.

∙ 13y agoThe doctor knows you're pregnant by taking a blood test, long before he/she palps your stomach. That doesn't tell whether you're pregnant, only that there is swelling there.

Can a gp tell if your pregnant after stomach examanation?
I assume you mean when the GP palpates your abdomen. If there is a pregnant uterus,the doctor is likely to notice. But if you are very newly pregnant and the doctor is not examining your uterus, he might miss it. It takes a few months for a pregnant uterus to move up above the pubic bone.
How can I tell if I'm pregnant. What does it feel like?
