Anyone else hate their belly button?? (ETA CP)

Kristin131

I may be in the minority but I don't think bare pregnant bellies are beautiful at all. I hate mine. My belly button has been an outie this time around almost since I peed on the stick! It used to be so nice and deep and just never got back to "normal" after DS was born So now it sticks out through my shirts and I hate it. Even more, I hate the line that my bella band shows through my thinner shirts, but I'm not buying maternity work pants to get through only 2 more months (skirt sean get here already!!). I know everyone stares at my belly, I can see them doing it. And not it's not just big belly, it's big belly with my bella band line and a big 'ol button staring back at them!

Sorry, I'm tired and cranky today and having one of those "nothing looks good" rainy days.

I agree with that 100%!  So glad to hear I'm not alone either.  I hate the bare belly shots that people post on their FB's and how people ask me to 'show them my belly'.  Um no thank you!

Definitely not a fan of the giant black hole my belly button has become. I wear maternity pants, and a bella band most days, and I can still see that crater. Gross.

Hope your day gets better!

I like my bare belly (and I now have an outie), the only thing I don't like is that the hole where my navel ring used to be has turned into a big stretch mark.  So far, it's my only stretch mark, but it's big and ugly.  That flap of skin that the ring was pierced into is apparently stretched as far as it will go!

I don't hate my belly button so much as I hate when people point out that they can see it poking out.  It's embarrassing, and it's always in a large group of people.  I hope my nipple never shows, I would hate to hear the comments!  

 I also hate the line the top of my full panel pants makes under my thinner/clingier shirts (although they do hold in the belly button so it looks flat)

 Haha! My nipples have gotten huge, and I'm not just talking about the areolas. Anytime they get hard it's pretty hard to miss, so I can feel you there.

As for my belly button, I kind of hate it right now. I've always had a deep innie and never thought twice about how awesome it was, but now I'm wishing I had it back, or at least an outtie. I'm half-way in-between. It's starting to poke out, but only around the edges, as the actually button is still an innie. So it looks like I have this puffy-lipped-mouth where my belly button should be.

I never thought that I would ever see the inside of my belly button. The strangest part to me has been the migration of a scar I had at the top of my belly button. It's now over an inch north of my belly button, making me realize that my belly is so big now that I'm borrow belly button skin to cover it all.

 

This is the first for me, so right now I'm just working on mentally accepting that whatever it looks like when this is all over is pretty much out of my hands and worth it. That's been a bit of a process.

mine is pretty much becoming flat but it comes out a little on top which I am able to hide with the maternity pants. I don't hate it or love it, it's just kinda there, lol

I have freckles in my belly button - not ON my belly, but only IN my belly button.  And it's slowly turning inside out so now I have this patch of freckles poking out.  Very weird.

and Jessica says

my belly button hasn't popped, so its like crater in my clothes, and i feel self conscious about it

This! I was really not expecting this.
