Bruised feeling left of belly button

[Firstpregnancy12]

Hi all,

I am 30 weeks pregnant and for the past 4 days, on and off, I have had a slightly bruised feeling on the skin to the left of and above my belly button. I have seen no change in babies movement and I feel fine within myself apart from heart burn. I messaged my midwife and she said it just sounds like my muscles stretching. Has anyone else had this? Sometimes it can be a bit itchy which makes me think stretching but every other person I have spoken too doesn’t seem to know what I’m talking about 🙈.

TIA x

I've had this. I assumed it was stretching also . Hurts when I press it.

Yes! It’s sore to touch too, it’s made me feel better that someone else is feeling the same.

I had this probably between 20-26 weeks and eventually went away, assumed it was everything stretching!
