The author states that if the internal examination is performed alternately first by the right and then by the left hand, the uterine volume appears different: when the right hand is the inner hand and the left palpates the external abdomen, the uterine volume appears much smaller than that determined afterwards if the left hand becomes the inner hand and the right hand palpates the outside. This phenomenon is particularly pronounced in the early stages of pregnancy.
