When did your belly button 'pop'?

51 replies

Miffster · 09/09/2010 17:13

Mine has s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d at 26+2 but has not popped yet, and the thought of it stretching so much that it ends up turning inside out makes me want to boak.

I am hoping against hope that it stays in.
But will it?
When did yours pop out?
Or did it stay in?

my tummy very hairy now I am pregnant too sophieandbelly. And I have to do legs and underarms (and, ahem, moustache) more often too - apparently a common thing in pregnancy though no one told me!!

mine never did with dd, i was a bit dissapointed really.!

MissCKitty · 13/09/2010 19:05

Am 20 weeks and Mine hasn't popped but is an awful lot shallower than it used to be!! Also when you put your finger inside you can feel something which I am thinking maybe the uterine wall. Its v wierd Grin

last week or so with DS, and about 12 weeks this time!

Weirdly, it still kinds of feels 'in' like it did before, so it's super strange if someone touches it, which DS delights in doing.

Does it pop if you are overweight?

GoooRooo · 06/02/2015 18:10

Way2Tired I was a size 24 in my last pregnancy. It popped. I also got stretch marks which I was really surprised at as I thought my skin was probably stretched enough!

Swanny84 · 06/02/2015 18:37

Mine didn't with both previous pregnancies, looks really wide with baby 3 already (nearly 16 weeks) but not popped out x

Horseradishes · 06/02/2015 18:41

Mine never

geekymommy · 06/02/2015 18:42

I'm overweight, have tummy fat, and mine stayed in. It's in a valley between rolls of fat.

ApocalypseThen · 06/02/2015 19:36

Does it go back in?

GoooRooo · 06/02/2015 19:38

Haha Apolcalypse yes it goes back in when there's no baby/fluid pushing it outwards.

JugglingChaotically · 06/02/2015 20:37

3 DCs and never did!!!!!!
Much to my relief Smile
Though by 9 months plus - I didn't care what happened as long as it was all over .....

teejayem · 06/02/2015 20:39

It went 19 weeks for me, am now 23 and if I stick my finger in it when I walk (as one does, obvs) I can feel something behind it.... makes me all goose pimply.

BanglesSpangles · 06/02/2015 21:23

38+6 and mine has just completely disappeared. I look like an alien

M27J5M · 06/02/2015 22:15

I had a kinda half in/out to start with if that makes sense and mine pooped out around 25 weeks, now 34 weeks and my OH now tell me my bump looks like a huge boob

lillamyy1 · 06/02/2015 22:29

Mine popped out at maybe 26 weeks-ish?? It's very odd, and it's brown in the middle!!!!! very weird. And when I laugh or cough, it goes hard like a tiny erection Shock

blueshoes · 06/02/2015 23:17

Mine never did

PenguinsandtheTantrumofDoom · 06/02/2015 23:25

Never. Three babies (one by one! !)

blackwidow74 · 07/02/2015 10:23

I no longer have a belly button lol much to the kids amusement!!

Glossyflower · 07/02/2015 20:31

Mine never did it just went flat lol

lmb21010 · 11/02/2015 22:52

Didn't pop with dd1, 18 weeks now and no change as yet.

Francescal88 · 11/02/2015 23:02

Mine popped hilariously at around 25 weeks, used to freak DP out with tiny being able to push it out by tensing my stomach muscles. Found out after an appendicectomy last July that I actually have an umbilical hernia, whoops

justmeeee · 12/02/2015 20:20

Mine threatened to pop out with DS but ended up just going sort of flat. Hoping for a repeat this time around. And then swiftly back to innie status!

LineRunner · 12/02/2015 20:24

Mine never did either. And I didn't get the brown line or stretch marks. Just luck of the draw really.

moggle · 12/02/2015 20:32

Never popped out. DD is 3m old now and I've lost all my pregnancy weight but my belly button is a saggy hole now!! Wah!!
