If you are pregnant, I would expect the uterus to be enlarged. This is due to the growing pregnancy inside of it. Usually, a doctor is able to feel a change in the size (enlargement)of your uterus at around 8-10 weeks gestation.
If you are not currently pregnant, and have an enlarged uterus, ask you doctor about this. Things that can cause uterine enlargement are previous pregnancies/childbirth, fibroids, and tumors. If you’ve already had a child or children, then it is common for the uterus to be larger than normal. Keep in mind, too, that there is a range of normal when talking about the size of a uterus. A uterus can be “small” normal or “large” normal depending on the individual. Again, discuss this with your OB/GYN provider to alleviate any concerns that you have.
