I am very much an inny too, now im 37 weeks and it just looks flat Hope that helps!

Mistymoo · 11/12/2009 21:09

I'm 21 weeks with my third and my inny is not an outy yet. I think it will happen though as it did with the previous 2

I usually have an inny. With my first baby it popped out at 40 weeks, but I had strange stretching feelings in there for a few weeks before. Then with later babies it popped out earlier. With my current pregnancy it was out by about 18 weeks!!

BelleDameSansTurkey · 11/12/2009 21:13

Mine always very much an "inny" and stayed that way all through pregnancy and birth.

I am 28 weeks with DC2 and was an inny for DS and am still an inny now

Chynah · 11/12/2009 21:34

I am 22 weeks with DC2 -mine stayed an inny until last few weeks with DC1 when it went flat. This time its still an inny so far!

SmacOnTheLipsUnderTheMistletoe · 11/12/2009 21:36

mine stayed an inny all the way with DD and at 29 w is still 'in' with this one.

hoops997 · 11/12/2009 21:53

my inny has started to become an outy, I can see inside it whereas before it was a complete inny....IYSWIM

hoops997 · 11/12/2009 21:54

forgot to add, I'm 24 weeks

MistyRuby · 11/12/2009 22:10

my deep inny started popping out at about 21 weeks and is now (23 wks) a very novel looking outy!

Southwestwhippet · 11/12/2009 22:41

mine's an outy now but I'm nearly 35 weeks.

It was an half and half for ages, only popped out about 2 weeks ago.

lolalotta · 12/12/2009 13:02

I am 38 weeks and mine has been an outy for a while now after having been very much an inny! Will it pop back after baby is born? I miss my inny!

oobs · 12/12/2009 13:38

mine's an inny quite cavernous one too. it's now a flatty at 20 somethign weeks. pops back in don't worry (this my 2nd pg).

izzybiz · 12/12/2009 13:48

Mine popped out with my first, with my second and third (I was fatter than with my first !) it just went sort of flat!

MamaLazarou · 12/12/2009 13:50

Mine's still an inny - 34 weeks.

bigpreggybelly · 12/12/2009 18:20

My inny was very deep to start with, it is still an inny at 36 weeks but looking increasingly touch and go, especially on one side.

Have a bet on with partner that it will still be an inny by birth time, but I think it's possible I may well lose!

BellasYummyMummy · 12/12/2009 18:22

lol funny thread!! i have a deep inny, and first pregnancy it was a 'flatty' as oobs said by 40 weeks but never popped. i dont think it will pop this PG either. I shall remain an inny forever.

MumNWLondon · 12/12/2009 21:50

I have an inny but each time from around 32-34 weeks it pops out. Now 21 weeks, its still in.

BusyMissIzzy · 12/12/2009 22:02

My inny has been getting shallower and flatter over the past few weeks. I'm 28 weeks now. My husband is fascinated by it, and I think he'll be disappointed if it doesn't pop out! For some reason I hear the Countdown theme whenever I think about it..

chegirlwithbellson · 12/12/2009 22:22

Busy

I didnt get an outy with DC4. I did with DC1 & DC2 though. Also last time I didnt get a linea negra (is that how its spelt?). I thought you always did.

bigpreggybelly · 13/12/2009 14:18

Famous last words Bellas but I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!!

Emster30 · 13/12/2009 21:55

aargh, I have a phobia of belly buttons, I can't bear the idea of mine popping out. I'm only 9 weeks so far so I don't know what will happen... fingers crossed it won't pop!

quirkychick · 13/12/2009 22:25

I'm an inny, kind of small and deep 1st pg I stayed an inny, it just got flatter and was kind of deeper and bigger afterwards but then went back to normal.

I am 34wks pg now and it is still an inny but very flat. I don't know if it will stay that way...

I have no linea nigra this time but definitely did last time from quite early on.

natapillar · 16/12/2009 00:50

my belly button is poking out as much as it can,but then i am almost 37weeks.
it all varies on the size of ur bump down to ur natural pre-bump shape
