just curious

Im 16 weeks pregnant as of today. I know you can press down alittle, starting from right abov e the vagina and slowly moving towards your belly button to feel where the top of your uterus ends, but my question is, at 16 weeks pregnant , about how many inches below my belly button should the top of my uterus be?

I think it should be slighty under your belly button. I remember around 20 weeks mine was at my belly button.
