Where should I be feeling for my uterus?

Am 15 weeks now and wasn't sure where my bump was but it occurred to me today that it may be higher up than I thought by now. I falt my tummy below my belly button (and through my extra layer of eh hem...insulation) and it feels pretty solid- would the bump be that high by now?

I'm only 2 days behind you and last night I was lying on my side, when I rolled onto my back I could see a solid bump starting just below my belly button, it felt pretty solid too x I don't really have extra insulation so I'm pretty sure it must have been uterus x x hope I'm right! Otherwise I'm thick as the proverbial x

Thanks Helen- I can't believe I still thought it was just above the pubic bone- doh!!

Ooooooh just googled it and it says you should be able to feel it about 3-4 inches below your belly button BUT I was wondering, you know how some women have a small torso, would it still be 3-4 inches below on them? x

Apparently when you get to 20 weeks it should be in line with you belly button When i was 17 weeks my midwife said mine felt like 15 weeks,(she said to trainee to have a feel and she said its harder to feel "smaller uterus") but i do have a prolaps. mine is now just in line with my belly button and I'm 20+1. x
