Belly Button Poppy out time!

19 replies

ThinkPink71 · 07/01/2020 20:10

I know this might sound weird but I feel grossed out about the fact my belly button is about to pop out!!!

What week did yours happen at (if so)?? And also, was it just an inny one day and then an outy the next or was it gradual!? I know I sound silly !!!! xx

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Mine never did and I'm 7 months pregnant with baby 3. I really felt like it was about to though with the first 2.

The thought horrifies me too, don't worry!
I have a thing about outy belly buttons and have no idea why.

34 weeks tomorrow with first and it's still clinging on there although quite a lot shallower than it was

Mine popped put at about 32 weeka last time, but literally as soon as baby was born it went back in and normal! I was grossed out at first but it was fine.

Mine never did

Jesskir89 · 07/01/2020 20:30

Mines been half out then back in again since 22 weeks. I'm almost 30 weeks and still isn't properly out

Bol87 · 07/01/2020 20:33

Mine popped out about 34 weeks last time but this pregnancy it was out by 27! I’m not really carrying much bigger but it just seemed to know to do so 😂 I’m less freaked out this time!

It does go back to normal thankfully!

My daughter has an outie bless her. I hope she isn’t too bothered when she’s older!

ToTravelIsToLive · 07/01/2020 20:44

Mine only did when I ate lots it was close to being constantly out so having a full stomach pushed everything that last bit! DH referred to it as my "fullness indicator"

whiteroseredrose · 07/01/2020 20:45

Mine never changed

HappyAsASandboy · 07/01/2020 21:12

I can't remember when it popped in my previous pregnancies, though it did at some point!

I am currently 27 weeks in my third pregnancy and my belly button has been getting "flatter" for about 4 weeks now. Hasn't popped yet, but is stretching wider and so is getting shallower/flatter and will pop eventually.

Unlike a previous poster, mine didn't go back immediately after birth. It sort of stayed flat until my tummy deflated a lot, though it did eventually go properly back to an innie!

DramaAlpaca · 07/01/2020 21:13

Mine never did. Thank God.

okokokthen · 07/01/2020 21:33

Mines been out since around 11 weeks this time round 😫😭 (3rd baby) but with my other two it did it a bit later on in the pregnancy.

R2D2abc · 07/01/2020 21:43

Mine never popped out. I'm pregnant with baby number 4 and sure this time won't happen either.

LiveFatsDieYoGnu · 07/01/2020 21:51

I'm 34+4 and mine has properly popped out this week! It's a bit weird but I'm getting used to it

Chocol4te · 12/01/2020 14:30

I am 37+2 never popped luckily ☺️

annlee3817 · 12/01/2020 15:59

Think it depends on how deep it was before pregnancy, mine is quite deep and half popped

Baaaahhhhh · 12/01/2020 16:05

Mine didn't pop at all, just went kind of stretched and flat.

misselphaba · 12/01/2020 16:07

I'm another one that never had this!

brightbird · 12/01/2020 16:57

Mine was kind of half and half and would go more in or out depending on I guess things like meals and baby position, probably since about 25 weeks or so, but as of today (33 weeks) I think it is officially an outie proper. I think it is quite cute! It's a lot softer and smaller as an outie than I imagined.
