Q: Pain In the Belly Button
asked by: juju2-07 on September 15th, 2006

I am expecting my first child and the last day or so, I have had some discomfort in my belly button. There is a small part of my belly button that seems to be protruding a bit, and that's what hurts. I go to the doctor on tuedsay, but I was just wondering if this is normal, or if I need to be concerned. It is painful to the touch. My husband and I were talking about it, and he said we need to mention it on tuesday, but it is a bit concerning to me now. Can anyone tell me what this could be? Is it normal to have a painful belly button??

My belly button at 19 weeks was flush with my skin. By 20 weeks it started poking out.

You know how when(before you were pregnant) you would put your finger deep inside your belly button it would hurt? Well your belly button is now outwards so the nerves are exposed.

Ask your doctor...But I had the same problem. Of course it won't get any better. You might have herniated it though...Have you done anyhitng strenuous?

Sarah,
i do remember a bit of pain in my belly button early on. I just can't believe that it could be popping out already. My 13 year niece asked me last weekend, what was wrong with my belly button. I guess that's what's happening! It is not flush with my stomach, yet, but it is close!!!

Mu husband suggested the same thing, about it changing, popping, and that it is probably not a big deal. He was relieved when I told him it hurt on the outside, not the inside.

No, I really don't recall doing anything too strenuous in the past week. Thanks for your information, I feel better now that I know it could be an early outie!! Is it early for an outie? I'm only 20 weeks along??? I thought that happened closer to the end? But I guess every pregnancy is different! Thanks again for the info!!!!!! I will be mentioning to the mid-wife on tuesday!!
