Brief Answer:
Starts at 6 weeks.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Usually the baby starts pushing on the bladder from 6 weeks onwards and it can continue till 12-14 weeks till the uterus is a pelvic organ.
After that the uterus starts enlarging towards the abdominal cavity. If the discomfort is too much then it is best to get a routine urine examination done to rule out any infection.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Brief Answer:
Rarely can happen.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
4 weeks is too early for the bulging uterus to cause a pressure on the bladder but the possibility cannot be ruled out completely. It is better to rule out urine infection in case the feeling is persistent or there is any associated burning during micturition.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
