23 Weeks Prego, Is My Belly Button Supposed to Stick Out?
Posted: 12-26-07 16:08pm

I have been reading alot of baby books and
all of them have been telling me that my
navel is soppose to be protruding by now
because my uterus should be above it now.
Mines isnt protruding at all and it makes
me a little worried that my baby isnt
growing the way she is soppose to. Did
anyone elses navel not protrude (stick
out) this far along in the pregnancy?

my belly button never even came close to
the surface with my last pregnancy, not
even when i was 40 weeks.
you can usually feel the top of your
uterus if you push on your stomach where
you think it should be. i'm 25w3d and i
can feel mine end about 2 inches above my
belly button.
not everyone is the same! some belly
buttons pop out, some don't. i could still
stick my finger far into mine until the
day i delivered.

Mine either for all the others and this
one is kind sorta trying to, but hardly.
Don't worry, it's not anything to worry
about.
If you're going to be carrying more on the
inside than the outside like I do, then
your skin isn't going to need to stretch
out nearly as much either. It doesn't
have anything to do with the baby not
growing right....as long as you measure
normal for the number of weeks by your
doc, your good. I know it's hard when
you're only going about once a month at
this point for checkups and it's easy to
feel like there's something wrong, even
when you just went the day before. I hate
that lol.
Don't take everything the baby books say
as fact for you personally. A lot of it
is for what the average person usually
experiences, and we all know that that can
make you go crazy if you're not right on
"average".

I am 24w1d and mine isnt completely out.
It used to me a real "innie" but it does
seem like it will be out soon. Like
everybody else said, those books are for
the "average" woman and we are all
different. Dont be worried!

I'm about 24wks now and my belly button
hasn't thought about popping. I have a
really nice innie, and the only difference
is I can now see the bottom, which is
weird because I have a beauty mark in it
 My sister is
basically built like me only 5 inches
shorter and hers NEVER popped, it just
kinda flattened and she was over 40wks
when she gave birth.

Feel lucky ladies...verrry lucky!!
With Oni my b button was OUT by about 25
weeks... but I was INSANLY skinny for my
height. So it didn't take much urging for
it to pop.
With this pregnancy, it popped out at
about 30 weeks.
I can't WAIT to get my innie back!!!!!

Your fine, mine diddnt pop out until about
34-35 weeks and I'm 40 weeks now. Everyone
shows differently, for me I diddnt really
become noticible until my 7th month, at 6
months i could tell but if you diddnt know
me you prolly wouldnt think i was. so it
took a long time for me to pop out but my
baby is normal size and weight so dont
worry, your good to go!
