12w today. Keep reading I should be able to feel it starting to pop up? What am I looking for? Lol I don't feel anything but a bloated tummy right now. Also on my doppler baby's hb is super low.. Like on public bone. Getting concerned.
I'm not sure about feeling your uterus but I had my 15 week appointment today and the HB was on my pubic bone as well so I don't think that is cause for concern.
I can feel the top of my uterus (right below my belly button) when I lay down. Mine hasn't "popped" yet, I'm guessing that means protruding from your abdomen? Each person is different and the 'popping" will happen at different times for each lady.
ummm if you are laying down and you run your hands pretty firmly from the top of your abdomen down you will hit what feels like a shelf. Its harder than the rest of your abdomen and when you push down you should feel some tension in your pelvic area, just like when your OB/MW feels around to measure your fundal height.
I definitely wouldn't be concerned, It's good to be observant though. I'm 12 weeks, and I can feel mine popping out of the top of my pubic bone, still super super low, but it's been different with all 4 of mine, so it's hard to compare things!

It's not really something most people notice and it doesn't noticeable stick out. I know mines measuring 2 weeks ahead and I still have no idea where it's at or what it feels like and this isn't my first rodeo.
I'll be 13w tomorrow and I still find baby's heart rate super low, and sometimes it takes a minute. chalked it up to how active they probably are right now! They're ready so little, movement doesn't help when trying to find the heart rate.
