Need some help here

So I went to the dr for the first time last week. I was 5 weeks then and she said she could already start to feel my uterus becoming distended. She said it like it was a good thing. I never asked what she meant by that but everything I had read it says you can’t really feel with out pressing down pretty far and she didn’t. And I felt it myself today and I swear I could even feel it even through my fat. Does this mean I might actually be farther along than I thought?
