Okay, so where exactly is it?
It is located in the pelvis behind your bladder and in front of your rectum. It naturally bends forwards over itself (unless you have a retroverted uterus like I do) and when a woman stands upright, the top of the uterus (the fundus) actually rests on top of the bladder.
Either side of the uterus, are the fallopian tubes and ovaries; above it are the intestines; below it, the vagina.
The uterus is supported by your pelvic floor, amongst other things, and held in place by several ligaments, the most important ones being level with the cervix.
A non-pregnant uterus is a muscular hollow organ in a pear shape. Generally, it’s about 7.5cm long, 5cm wide and 2.5cm in depth. Its walls are about 1.25cm thick. It has 3 layers, the endometrium, the myometrium and the perimetrium.
The blood supply for the uterus then comes through an artery level with the cervix.

your bladder is in front of you uterus, your intestines are behind it, they stay put but get squished. everything is above your uterus. when you get farther along everything gets pushed up. you can feel the top of your uterus. i'm not sure what you are feeling. baby, maybe?

In the very lower abdomen, and yes, just north of the cervix.
