Mine did at 20 weeks when I was sitting up to get off the bed at my scan! I wore tight clothes too and some people actually recoiled in horror when I was bigger, whilst others rubbed it ewww! It went back in almost straight away after birth though. 😁

OttilieKnackered, mine never popped. Instead it flattened out and became really easy to clean. I found that most useful, I must say.

Yeah, being pregnant is weird.

Haha loving some of these stories - thanks MN'ers, you've really made me smile (and cringe at belly buttons too) today! Grin

My belly button never popped in either pregnancy and they went to 38 weeks and nearly 41 weeks. I never had the linea negra either - I wondered if that's to do with skin tone or type? I'm very pale skinned.

Mine didn't and I had triplets second time round and was enormous. It got very shallow, but no more than that.

Mine didn't but it did go flat. After I gave birth, it was all gross and saggy for a while but it's back to normal now!

No linea negra either, or heartburn for me.

HowMuch - ahhh I'm jealous about you not getting heartburn, mine is pretty much constant!

Mine never popped out even with a single pregnancy followed by a twin pregnancy to 37 weeks.

GeekyWombat · 03/06/2017 07:06

Mine didn't thank goodness!

Mine went really early. I hated it. Bleugh.

Mine didn't pop with my first, I'm 33+3 with my second now and it hasn't popped yet...I'm hoping it doesn't

Mine did by 16 weeks 😳 I was very slim though so I showed straight away too. The dark line appeared after my baby was born... weird lol. But my belly button went back in pretty quickly, the line stuck around for a few weeks

Blueskyrain · 04/06/2017 05:23

36 weeks, but no line yet.

Mine never did. Got the linea nigra which i strangely loved having. That stayed until about 6 months after although very faintSmile

Didn't with either of mine and I went to 41+1 and 42 weeks. It's very deep though - guess that makes a difference!
