So you think your bellybutton popped? PIP

BambinoBruno

When I say my belly button has popped, I mean my belly button has POPPED.  It has been like this for weeks.

Exhibit A

Exhibit B

Anyone else's look this bad??  I wear a stretchy cami under all my shirts and it is still completely noticeable.  The "turkey's done" and "your thermometer has popped" comments are getting old.

Wow!  That's craziness!  Mine looks like a damn crater in the moon.

I was able to keep my down with a band aid last time. I haven't popped yet, probably will in 3rd tri.

That's crazy! Do you have an outie normally?

Mine is still very much an innie. It hasn't changed much at all, except maybe it is stretched a little wider.

I'm surprised your's popped like that at only 21 weeks. I jsut turned 20 wks today and it hasn't popped, however, I do notice that it's not as deep as it used to be. I also noticed that the skin around it has gotten darker, like I used self-tanner.

Ditto. Would the band aid trick help you?

Mine never got as innie as it was last time, so my crater is more quickly deepening.

Wow! I never popped first time. I'm wondering if I will this time. Apparently I started out with quite the deep bellybutton.

This for me too.

Mine never popped with DS, it just went flat.  This time it has popped out but I think it's because DS screwed it up from chilling out behind my belly button the whole time and pushing out right about there.  I don't know if my stomach will ever look normal again!

Wow! mine popped with DS and never really went back. For a while, i had to places on my stomach that looked like belly buttons. IDK how that happened! i guess mine will probably be more pronounced this time around... and it will be too hot for layering

Oh my goodness oh my goodness!  Did the baby kick that thing out?

Mine has popped too. I'm seriously thinking of getting nipple pasties to cover it.

I'm sorry.  I laughed.  That is CRAZY. 

No mine hasn't popped, neither has my belly.  I have a deep inny, so I don't know if I'll be seeing any belly button popping over here.  You never know i guess.

no mine hasn't popped...i don't think it will i have the deepest belly button haha.. my DH thinks its weird.

My innie has been an outtie since week 18. And here I was thinking my outtie was really out there! Maybe the band-aid trick will help you?

RachelOC

Mine has been flat for the past month and I have a feeling its gonna pop out soon! I'm going on vacation to the bahamas in 2 weeks and plan to wear a bikini so hopefully it doesn't happen by then. The bandaid trick wont work there!

No poping of the botton here yet but it has gone flat. But over the last week I swear my belly itself has doubled in size. So Im sure its coming soon.

Is anyone else freaked out by belly buttons?  Man, I just hate them.  Some people hate clowns, or feet, or bugs....I hate belly buttons!  I don't mind seeing them when wearing a swim suit or something, but something about them just freaks me out.  I'm aware that they exist, and mine has always been nice looking, so I have no idea where this comes from.

My husband knows this and will stick his finger in there just to torment me.  Bleh.  Freaks me right out.

Wow!

Have you tried putting a bandaid over it when you're wearing tighter tops?

Mine is just about flat now, and stuck out a LITTLE by the time DS arrived, but it was never close to that pronounced!

Has your doctor seen it since it popped?  Maybe you have a herniated belly button?

This exactly, my DH always laughs at me and says that he couldn't find the bottom of my belly button if he tried. It's kinda freaky :P But I CAN feel the bottom now, although it's NO where near pooping out.

That's exactly what mine looks like! It's been an outie since around 8 weeks

amanda31H

Has your doctor seen it?  Looks like it could be an umbilical hernia...

BambinoBruno

Yeah my doctor sees it at every appt when he measures me.  I asked him about it right after it happened (around 8 weeks) because I had a cough at the time and I was afraid that was making it worse.  He said it's fine. 

It didn't pop quite this much with DD until later.

I generally have an innie/outie... it's not an innie (so I consider it an outie) but nothing ever sticks out of the hole if that makes sense lol
