When should you be able to feel your uterus beginning to rise above your pelvic bone?

It comes out of the pelvis at approx 12 weeks and level with your belly button at 20 weeks.

As Pacific said, bump is different to fundus height.

I suppose it also depends whether you mean actual top of uterus aka fundus or general bump - bump is much more dependent on shape/size/height/weight etc. Actual uterus/fetus size is very consistently equal between 12-14 weeks which is why dating scans are ideally done in that time. Size of fetus at that time says nothing about actual size/weigth of baby born 6 months later.

Oh I meant to add also sometimes pops up earlier with subsequent pregnancies! X

Mine seems to have popped out of nowhere at 12 weeks. I'm normally a size 8 (though not sure now as I feel compelled to eat everything in sight!)and this is my first baby. It's more noticable first thing in the morning before you get up, when you're lying on your back - I was really surpised to feel such a hard lump.

Not sure about the frame thing. Currently pg with DC3 and have a bump at 9 weeks. I'm not exactly a skinny minny but am noticeably pg.

Hi iam 10 weeks pregnant with dc3, and I do agree on your frame being a factor as I am a size 8 and started to feel mine at 9 weeks! Coinciding with a neat little bump!

I felt it at 14w. But it didn't really move out of my pelvis until 18w when it moved out in one day and I suddenly had a bump.

12 weeks on average.
Depends how slim you are when you can feel it though.
