Belly feeling bruised?

Is anyone else feeling like they have a bruise on their belly?  Mine is right around my belly button (to the side) and is tender just like a bruise.  Doesn't look like one though.

    Yes! I was just mentioning this to DH. Like if I brush up against something or he just touches my stomach it feels really sore and almost brusied. I dont like it! I hope this is normal??

    I felt like this yesterday for the first time. It seemed to be a few inches above my belly button. My little guy has been kicking and moving in that area a lot and I'm wondering if that's what it's from. I don't see a visible mark, just the feeling of one.

    I don't really feel like it's bruised on the outside, but the sides of my belly button are LOs favorite places to kick and definitely things get to the point of soreness/ bruised feeling when (s)he really gets going in there. I can only imagine what will happen as baby gets even bigger.

    Yes! I can only assume that it is from the baby constantly pushing up against that area. I don't know though!

    YES! Actually I have felt like this since September. I called the nurse twice and also asked the doctor about it at one of my appts. (Yes I was worried..lol). I just didn't think it was normal and had myself freaked out, b/c it was always in the same spot just above and to the left of my belly button. My doctor explained it to me that it is a normal complaint and it is from our muscles splitting apart. She said that most complain of that bruised feeling around the belly button but that it can be referred to the side like mine! So I wish I could tell you how to make it go away, but all I can tell you to make you feel better is, you are NOT alone! :)

    Yes, but mine is much more near my ribs on the right side, like where I imagine my liver was at one point.
