s/o belly buttons

greenclown · May 2010

My belly button never changed when I was pregnant with Jillian. DH says I have the deepest belly button in the world, and I think he might be right. I was kind of excited for it to flatten out in the hopes that I'd find some candy or money in it. Reason #24064 I can't wait to be pregnant again is I want to see what it looks like at 39 weeks. I have a feeling it won't change next time either.

lol, mine changed super early this time, but this baby is so much lower. I was a little upset I didn't find much of anything in mine

I'm sure it will. It can't be that deep. Right?

TW, remind me to show it to you when you're here (if you want). Just don't stick your finger in there. I'd rather be poked in the eye than have my belly button touched.

Speaking of bellybuttons, DH used to seriously think that the doc somehow tied your bellybutton back to your intestines or something. HowTF he thought it was done I have no idea. I always thought this was an insane idea, and when we had Seb he finally realized that it just falls off and looks like that, it doesn't really go anywhere.

Ha, Brooke, I can't even figure out how that could possibly work. I will admit that when I was little I thought moms and babies were connected by their belly buttons.

I will definitely remember to ask.

this whole post cracked me up.

However, when the inn-y belly buttons start to become out-y belly buttons it makes me embarrassed. I will probably tape mine down if I ever gt pregnant. I know the momma can't help it but some how it reminds me of a nipple or something. I don't know . Flame away, it causes me embarrassment

My button never changed either. Two pgs and up to 39w with N. Nothing. I was kind of disappointed.

Mine only got slightly stretched out. And it was super tender where it hadn't ever been touched before. Mine is deep too. Because I am fat.

I also have a deep belly button. At 35 weeks, not only is it still an innie, but there is still depth to it.

I don't think it will pop at all.

On one hand, I'm kind of glad nothing happened to it. My belly button is SO sensitive, especially way in there, and having the most sensitive part out scares me. I'm sure I'd be banging it into shiit and crying about it all the time.

Also, crazy person confession: there were several times after Jillian was born that I wondered if my crappy cervix and non-changing belly button were related. I was grasping at any straw I could find.

mine just got flat at the end, never popped out, but I delivered at 36 weeks.

oh, and it was a vom button if pushed. totally weird feeling for me.

Mine never popped out with Matthias and I went to 41.5 weeks. With Ezra it popped out at like 22 weeks.

during the u/s, the technician commented on my deep belly button and how it was causing him problems trying to see the baby.

and it never "popped" or really flattened out. just got a little more shallow. Embarrassed

This. And I also hate having my belly button touched. It hurts! Thank goodness it's deep.
