Bellybuttons - when do they pop?

[VerityClinch]

22 weeks pregnant and my belly button is really starting to stretch, it's not round anymore, more oval shaped, and seems to be less deep than usual.

When do belly buttons pop out? And do they ALWAYS? I am feeling quite squeamish about it. Do they go back to 'normal' after the birth (inasmuch as anything goes back to normal...)?

Mine never popped out and I have 3dcs

Mine didn't either time!

Mine didn't, I thin it's because it's pretty deep.

Nope mine didn't, just stretched out flat.

Normal now.

Mine didn't. Another of the many myths. Like the 'cocktail hour' you give up in 'What to Expect'

As you can see, not everyone pops! And I know they go back after! Mine is just stretching (I'm 24 weeks) and getting darker!

They certainly don't always and they do return to normal after. Mind you if you are squeamish about that I will refrain from describing the disaster that will be your belly immediately post-birth. Snigger.

Mine didn't. It did go oval-shaped though, and I found out that I have a mole inside my belly button.

Thanks Slur - although I can cope with a disastrous looking post-birth tummy (frankly, it wasn't that much of a success pre-pregnancy, if I'm honest) - it's only the bellybutton I am squeamish about.

Cote - I'VE got a mole too! And I never saw it before this week. Am fascinated by it, in an eeeeeewwwwwww kind of a way.

Mine didn't, and I've got 3 children. It just went flat during pregnancy, and is now wider than it was before (as is everything else!).

Oh well in that case.....

Actually I was thinking more of that straight after I-just-had-an-enormous-body-in-here-seconds-ago moment.

All jelly and dangly, ah happy days...

Thankfully that bit only lasts a 'very' short amount of time. Makes an impression thogh!

Urghhh, I felt like I needed a belly bra those first few days!

I have a mole too

Mine never popped when I was pg with DD, but I am now 21+2 and it has started to stick out a little bit. I am massive with this pg though.

1st time round it was just really shallow. This time top half popped out around 25 weeks??? Now I'm 40 weeks and top most of it is out but very bottom just stretched. DP says it looks like some stubbed a fag out on my belly!?? I spent 3 weeks trying to poke it back in which worked for a while before it become grisley and I couldn't bare to touch it!

1st time it didn't pop at all. Now 26 weeks and it has well and truly popped. Anyone ever tried to hide theirs? And if so, how and did it work!!!

mine popped out at about 28weeks both times chick xx

im 39+5 and mine still hasnt popped lol x

Mine never did.
