Belly Button Trauma!
Hello,
I just wondered how the rest of your belly button are looking?!?
Before I got pregnant my tummy button was an 'innie' and due to a laparoscopy (sp?) was virtually non existent, it was really, really tiny.
As soon as I started to show, it kind of grew, (went from being a slit to totally round) and then popped out, but it is starting to worry me because it is so huge. It just seems to be coming out further and further, to be honest I can't work out where all this skin is coming from. It's like my tummy is growing a nose!
I am now 26+4, and it has become really hard where as it was completely soft last week (well, when I could bear to touch it) and very sore and tender, and I am worried that it could be a hernia? When my clothes brush against it, it makes me feel physically sick.
This is my first pregnancy so sorry if this question is stupid - I know that they often pop-out, but I never knew they got so uncomfortable.
Thanks

Mine was sore when it first popped out, I put this down to the, usually protected, skin rubbing against my clothes. Still best to get it checked out though.
Hope all's ok

Also, I have never had the linea nigra (brown line) on my belly - think this might be more common in darker skin?
