The uterus is a female reproductive organ located between the bladder and the rectum, in the pelvic area. The uterus has three layers: the inner lining (endometrium); the middle muscular layer (myometrium); and the outer layer (perimetrium).
Along with your ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix, and vagina, your uterus allows you to menstruate and become pregnant. Sometimes referred to as the womb, your uterus is the place in which your baby will develop when you become pregnant. Your uterus is located inside your lower abdomen, just between your two hip bones. Its shape is similar to that of an upside-down pear.
