Ok so I am 35 wks pregnant and my belly button is popped out now and today i was looking in the mirror and noticed that it was sucked back in. It was really weird. And then within a matter of minutes it was popped back out. This is my second pregnancy and I had never experienced this before. Although with my first baby my belly button never popped out to begin with. So has anyone else seen this? My baby is moving a lot still, I feel him right now. I'm just curious if anyone knows about what this means..if anything. Thanks.

What can I do next?

When my belly button popped out, it didn't go back in until my babies were born, but since you just noticed it today, maybe it was the way your baby was pressing on your tummy from the inside.
I don't think it's anything to be too concerned about.
I know people whose belly buttons never popped out at all.
It's just one of those things.

Take care of yourself!
Be sure to let us know when the baby comes!

Yes, this can be very normal.. Totally freaky what our bodies can do and will do while we are pregnant..

You feel like an alien is in there.. pushing buttons! Hee, hee..

I tried to wear a bandaide over mine at the end of my pregnancy when my button started to pop out.. and it was hilarious how it stayed on and at one point during the day, just popped off.. I started giggling in the meeting I was in.. Who on earth could I tell?

Happened to me on my second and I had a hernia!!! Since I had a c-section, the doctor TRIED to fix it, but within 2 weeks it was back. Have never done anything about it - just won't wear a bikini or any short top!!!!

My sister has 4 kids. So when her belly button pops out her hubby always said the baby was done cooking.

I would mention it to the doctor but it is very normal, as normal as our bodies are when we are pregnant.

I know its weird, but its normal and doesn't mean anything. Bodies do wierd stuff when pregnant--and non pregnant too.

If you can squish it back in, It might be an umbilical hernia..... Have your doc check it out at your next visit.....my belly button never popped with my pregnancies (3) but I had multiple umbilical hernias..... Mesh repair has held up well!

I would assume its a herniated belly button. My cousin has one and it causes her no pain, just unsightly.
