Tummy button changes

Hi - another strange one but has anyone noticed that their tummy button is moving from the centre of their bump?!
Mine seems to be migrating to the east and has moved off centre by about 2cms!!!
Really hope i'm not the only one! Will it ever go back?!

My belly button has never been the same since having kids.

It once was lovely and round, I even had it pierced, now it looks like the Grand Canyon and is sort of triangle-ish shaped. And quite hairy

It is only because of all the stretch marks around it that takes the focus off it

Mine turned into a tunnel after DD and now I'm pregnant it's looking more like a badly erected ridge tent! All these sort of things are completely normal I'm afraid. They do sort of calm down post partum but not completely.

LOL I could keep my shopping in mine it stretched so much after no2
Mum2Scrap stop worrying so much! You don't ever look the same as you did before but that doesn't mean you won't look good (if you see what I mean!)

Well I am on pregnancy number 4, and never noticed any change at all. Exactly what happens depends on where your baby is lying, you own make up (what sort of button you ahd initially), size of baby and all sorts.

Mine ahs never yet popped out- might do this time as looking close but we shall see (still got 11 weeks to go)

Well mine didn't change at all with dd and ds1. Then with ds2 it popped out and I was interested to know what it would look like afterwards. And then I had a cs with classical incision and now -

I don't have a belly button at all!

I have a bit of a wibble in the scar where my button used to be, is all. It is a little disconcerting actually.
