When does the belly button pop out?

Stella2008

Just wondering--and does it not happen for some people?

HeyyRed

My Belly Button hole is changing in composition and looks to be getting ?smaller which I'm taking as a sign that it will pop out.

it doesn't always.... everyone is different.

mine never did with my first pg - it just got VERY flat.

I would think it would be different for every woman and yes, DH's cousin just had a baby Saturday and her's never popped out. But her belly was TINY!!! She was barely bigger than me and I'm almost 4 months!

Mine is just about all the way popped! It started its outward migration a week or two ago...it's been a slow process.

Mine is about half out now.

Mine has not popped and I'm not so sure that it will. 

My BFF is 28 weeks pregnant with #2 and her belly button is already popped.  It popped at about 36 weeks with her first pregnancy.

Mine is definitely different shaped and shallower/skinnier.  Not sure if that's a sign of it going to pop or not, but we shall see.  I started to notice a slight difference about 2 weeks ago.

Mine never did during my first pregnancy. I think it's different for everybody.

Mine never did with my first pregnancy but I also delivered at 33 weeks!

Week 26: Middle Management: Your Protruding Navel

You're two-thirds of the way through your pregnancy and your uterus is about two and a half inches above your belly button. And speaking of your belly button, have you noticed that it's taken on a life of its own ? a larger-than-life life? Protruding navels may not be your idea of forward fashion (especially when you're in a bikini, or when your once innie belly button now bulges through tight clothes), but it's de rigueur for the pregnant set. And it's easy to understand why. Beginning somewhere around the middle to end of your second trimester, your enlarging uterus swells enough to push your abdomen forward, making your navel pop out like a timer on a well-done turkey (even though you have a way to go before your baby is "well done"). Your belly button should revert back to its regular position a few months after delivery ? (though it may have that stretched-out, "lived in" look. Until then, you can look at the bright side of your protruding navel: it gives you a chance to clean out all the lint that's accumulated there since you were a kid.
