Sharp pain in my belly button

Have any one experienced sharp pain in your belly button? (BB) which seems like the BB is about to burst? It also became slightly blue and swollen. It's now return to normal but when it happened I was really concerned that it might be something to do with the baby? She has made less movement since. Thank you

I'd get checked out esp if you feel movements have not been the same. My tummy muscles separated (noone told me that's why my tummy was extra tight and every time I sat up I had a big ridge down the middle of my bump) but I also felt from early on that my tummy was about to burst open, it was very painful.
Get checked to rest your mind HTH

i have experienced pains in belly button 2 days ago. they went away after a few hours. i read in a pregnancy book that it is normal as one's stomach mussels are stretching. if you belly is blue and swallen, i think you call an obstetrician.

Thank you so much for your reply Indigobarbie:) I am so scare. I called the emergencies Labour Ward at St Mary's and they told me to have ice cold water and see if the baby movement progress again or go to see them within two hours. I pray all will be fine. I am 24+3 wks now.

I've had the pain, sometimes feels like a stretching pain sharp and then fades. It tends to be when LO is fidgeting, rolling or stretching.

It sounds odd but if you've got some sweeties or ice cream that can get them moving.

Even if you get movement, but still have the blueness or swelling, it's worth going in, if it's not too much hassle for you.
