Belly button pain?

lovestina425

I'm 26+5 weeks and on and off, but frequently, get a discomfort/pain right next to my belly button that at times feels numb. I think it's from the baby pressing a body part against me, but she'll do it for hours. I have my next ob appointment soon and plan to ask, but was just curious if anyone else has experienced a weird numb belly button sensation.

I totally have the same pain especially if I stand a lot ! I am 24 weeks and I noticed this happening in the past month. Assuming it’s normal 😬

I have been experiencing a similar pain above and a little to the left of my belly button (26+5 weeks) for the last month. I had an OB  appointment 3 weeks ago and my doctor explained that it was just my uterus and wasn’t concerning. However the pain has become more persistent and painful so I decided to go to the hospital to get checked out yesterday (I was sweating at work I was in so much pain). The charge nurse informed me that more than likely it was an umbilical hernia, and the doctor on shift agreed. Nothing can be done right now except resting and wearing a supportive band to alleviate some pressure. Wish you the best!

Yes definitely if I'm standing or sitting upright like at work. Feels much better/resolves if I'm reclined or laying down.

I read that it could be that 😬 did you notice any bulging when you coughed or sneezed or anything? Ive been keeping an eye out but don't notice anything, but it's not really comfortable at all when I sneeze hard.

I haven’t noticed any bulging at all, could be small enough that it’s causing pain. It still hurts when I’m laying down/sneeze/cough/do anything lol.

Oh no! How awful. I hope you're able to get relief!
