When is uterus palpable in pregnancy?

Question

I'm trying to understand how my body changes during pregnancy. I read something about the uterus becoming palpable. Around what week or month of pregnancy does the uterus usually become noticeable from the outside?

I am in my 18th week now and I only just started feeling a small hard bump when I lie down. Did anyone else also feel it late? I was getting so worried that my bump wasn't showing at all.

Usually around 12 weeks it starts coming up. Don't worry, your doctor will check it.

Haan, mostly 3rd month ke end tak uterus pubic bone se upar aata hai na. Tab doctor touch karke feel kar paate hain, khud se zyada dimaag mat lagao.

My gynac at Cloudnine told me it rises out of the pelvis around the 12th week. During your routine antenatal checks, the hospital nurses also track the fundal height, so definitely ask them to show you how they measure it.

Honestly, don't keep pressing your tummy to feel it, you might hurt yourself. Just wait for your regular check-ups. The doctor knows exactly how to check it, so let them do their job.
