Let's talk belly buttons: (Ours, not LO's)

in Parenting after a Loss

When I was pg I didnt think that my belly button had stretched out that much. I mean, granted it was flat and then it stuck out a little bit but nothing too bad I didn't think. Well now that my stomach is back to "normal" or close to it, I swear my belly button is huge! I mean it looks like a bat cave in there it's so much larger and deeper than it was before! Anyone else have this? Will it shrink back down do you think?

    Mine was huge, it had gotten so stretched out. It has gone down a bit, but it is definitely not back to the way it was and I'm assuming it won't ever.

    I feel like maybe this is a problem unique to those of you who had flat stomachs pre-pg!  I did not, and my belly button never really stretched because there was enough flab that it wasn't super-open to begin with.  I guess that's one positive to having a few extra pounds!

    Mine was, however, brown and gross for a bit, but it has returned to its normal coloring.

    Mine is definitely a little more stretched out, but what I really dislike about it is that it turned brown and still has brown patches on it - ick. So ugly. I hope it disappears eventually.

    Sorry... But my belly button is the only thing that looks different - even with LO being almost a year old.

    Mine is still gross.  IMO it's not that noticeable though since you have to look past the stretch marks to even see it.  LOL

    Yeah - mine's weird looking now (to me) but I had an umbilical hernia with Jack & Matthew...  That will be corrected after I'm done having my kids, so at that point, I will get a whole new (hopefully tighter) belly button!  lol...

    lol- your siggy pic!

    Funny you posted this- I was just pulling my stomach up a bit the other day in the mirror trying to remember what my belly button originally looked like! It did get a bit better after DD was probably a year or so- that's when I felt that my body was basically back to normal (it never does get there entirely!) My belly button never popped out w/ either LO, just stretched, and it's still pretty deep :( I just have to go with it. . .
