B. The uterine fundus would be too high for this time frame.
C. The fundus should reach the level of the symphysis pubis by 10 days postpartum.
D. The uterine fundus should not be palpated to the right of the umbilicus; it should be midline or slightly to the right. A lateral displacement of the fundus may indicate a full bladder, which can interfere with uterine contraction and increase the risk of bleeding.
