Does everyone's pop out when pregnant? mine has def got shallower but i'm dreading having an outie! How do you hide it under tight tops etc?!

Nagoo · 04/09/2011 16:23

mine did both times.

Tight pants? That was the least of my worries TBH

jammyscone · 04/09/2011 16:24

I'm at 37+4 and mine is still an innie. I'd be very surprised if it popped now.

Sandra2011 · 04/09/2011 16:24

Mine never did.

Baby popped out at 37 wks so maybe that would have happened later then....

TooImmature2BDumbledore · 04/09/2011 16:29

Think it depends on how baby is lying. When DD's back was forwards then my belly button poked out, and when she swivelled a bit it went back in.

sjuperwolef · 04/09/2011 16:30

i was slim before i fell pg with dd and didnt pop, carried more weight with this pg and still havent popped -32 wks today - both times it has got shallower tho.

i think some ppl just dont pop

PeterSpanswick · 04/09/2011 16:46

Mine didn't pop last time, this pregnancy it was almost immediate and is like a little erection under my clothes!

I did try putting a plaster over it once to try and hide it much to DH's hilarity but that didn't work. [unhelpful emoticon]

MsChanandlerBong · 04/09/2011 19:04

Mine has popped out - think it was at about 30 weeks. And it turns out I have a great big mole in there that isn't visible normally. Gross - I hate it!

The only time it shows is when I wear dresses (my trousers/jeans all have over the bump elastic things that seem to squash it flat). But to be honest, I am so damned uncomfortable it doesn't usually bother me too much!!

MsChanandlerBong · 04/09/2011 19:06

I should probably also point out that the brown line thing that appears down your stomach is wonky on my tummy too - I am convinced this is to do with my tummy button popping out (like it has unravelled itself and twisted out). The whole thing makes me very dissatisfied with my naked tummy at the moment - however I don't have any stretchmarks so I am MASSIVELY grateful for that

MissRee · 04/09/2011 19:07

I can't wait for mine to pop

theduchesse · 04/09/2011 19:57

I'm 37+6 and mine hasn't popped out - it is completely flat now though!

Gill79 · 04/09/2011 20:09

Oh dear - mine has been out for weeks and weeks and never occurred to me to hide it! Probably since about 25 weeks....

Nagoo · 04/09/2011 20:18

It is safer not to concern yourself with the southern hemisphere. There is a reason that you can't see it without trying.

I was shocked by my own pubes after I had DD. I had a massive 'fro

curleywurley2 · 04/09/2011 21:23

Pmsl Nagoo I remember that same surprise!

My belly button popped out with DS and had done it again (27 weeks now) and it popped quite early on.

curleywurley2 · 04/09/2011 21:33

change that, its more like a wine gum than a midget gem lol xxxx

HPonEverything · 04/09/2011 21:42

I'm 36wks and mine has just got so it sticks out a bit when I'm stood up, but when lying down it's still an innie.

I'm not handling the outie at all well to be honest [shiver] so I'm glad it's just part-time

nannyl · 04/09/2011 21:54

im 39 weeks and although it is shallower it has not popped out, and still goes in about half my little finger nail deep

SwottyKnickers · 04/09/2011 22:08

I'm 28wks and only half of it has popped out. The other part seems to be refusing to pop.

RockChick1984 · 04/09/2011 23:20

Mine went almost completely flat, but never popped out (although it was a cloae call!) but my belly button has always looked deep rather than shallow pre pregnancy if that makes any sense!

Offspring · 05/09/2011 04:12

Mine didn't pop last time but did this time at about 25ish weeks. 34 weeks this week and it going back in (hopefully!) is one of the things I'm looking forward to after giving birth!

iWILLdothis · 05/09/2011 15:19

Mine didn't pop last time. So far at 33wks this time, I haven't yet popped, fingers crossed that I won't as I don't like the idea.

100years · 05/09/2011 16:40

40+4 and I thought mine was going to pop out a few weeks ago, it hasn't, it is fairly flat though. TMI when I have a poo I do notice it raises a little, but it's not popped out. I did have the world's deepest belly button pre pregnancy and was worried it would stick out as far as it used to stick in, thankfully that hasn't happened!
