At what point in pregnancy would the fundus be palpable just above the pubic symphysis?

The fundus, which is the upper part of the uterus, begins to become palpable during pregnancy as the uterus grows. At approximately 12 weeks of gestation, the uterus has expanded enough to rise above the pubic symphysis, allowing it to be felt during a physical examination.

By this stage in pregnancy, the uterus is still relatively small, and its position just above the pubic symphysis marks an important milestone in fetal development. As the pregnancy progresses, the fundus will continue to rise, reaching the umbilicus around 20 weeks and extending further as gestation advances. Understanding the growth trajectory of the uterus is crucial for monitoring the progress of pregnancy and assessing the health of both the mother and the developing fetus.
