Never but the second time it stretched to flat it was gross

Primulas · 02/06/2017 13:01

First time round at about 41 weeks, but went straight back. Second time round, didn't, but baby arrived at 35 weeks so maybe I wasn't big enough!

Northend77 · 02/06/2017 13:09

I didn't get the linea negra either

Spindelina · 02/06/2017 13:29

With DC1: no linea negra, belly button didn't pop, no stretch marks.

Currently 34 weeks with DC2, and none of the above yet this time either.

I've had linea nigra for ages

But my sister has it too. Never been pregnant, has just always had one

MissBax · 02/06/2017 14:34

arbrighton - apparently we all have one all the time but it's normally light so when don't see it and it darkens due to hormones when we're pregnant. I wonder whether your sister just has more of that hormone in general then?

Never

Spangles63 · 02/06/2017 15:55

Mine never did thank goodness. I never got the linea negra either,although I've seen it on numerous other mums. Is this because I'm very fair skinned?

I used to be quite vain about my belly button, really, in hindsight.

With DS1, it was a bit out of shape but would probably gone back.

With DTDs, it stretched, went inside out and stretched some more. I have stretch marks inside my belly button. I thought I was never going to have a proper belly button again. On Woman's Hour, some doctor said that if your tummy does not go back after a year, that is it! I was gutted Sad.

However, after I started doing ballet and contemporary dance, all the standing up straight and holding in bore fruit and I got some sort of semblance of belly button back (albeit not for public display).

Never and I had twins and was absolutely massive.

terrylene · 02/06/2017 16:21

My twins only went out forwards. It was like wearing a beach ball. I got stretch marks on my stretch marks Sad. No idea why - I only got 1 with DS. On the plus side, no heartburn.

SantasLittleMonkeyButler · 02/06/2017 16:27

Also never. 3 pregnancies & no linea negra either!

30Sarah · 02/06/2017 16:28

Mine started to pop in and out at 26 weeks. It was the strangest thing

TheWeeBabySeamus1 · 02/06/2017 16:31

My belly button never "popped" but I did get the line at about 7 months and it had disappeared by the time my son turned one.

OttilieKnackered · 02/06/2017 16:35

I've never been pregnant but I have to know: if it does pop out can you give it a good clean? That would make it worth it for me.

AnneElliott · 02/06/2017 16:48

Mine didn't. I was really worried about that happening, but it just got a bit more stretched!

iseenodust · 02/06/2017 16:52

No and I was huge.

biffyboom · 02/06/2017 17:02

I really hope mine doesn't, outies make me squeamish.

steppemum · 02/06/2017 17:07

belly button didn't pop and no linea negra either (3 pregnancies)

RoseBud2016 · 02/06/2017 17:29

Started to go at 27 weeks, fully popped by 30 weeks. It freaked me out at first but now I strangely like it Blush

DarthMaiden · 02/06/2017 17:29

Mine never did - but it's quite deep...

2014newme · 02/06/2017 17:31

Never and I had twins
No stretch marks either

MissBax · 02/06/2017 17:33

No pop and no linea nigra with any of my 4 pregnancies (one with twins)

VocalCat · 02/06/2017 17:36

Mine never has either.
