Is it possible to feel the baby tugging on the umbilical chord?

I know that is random, but feeling a lot of pain when baby starts moving around the belly button. This is #3 for me and never felt this before!

    The baby's umbilical cord is attached to the placenta, not your belly button. He/she is likely just moving and causing an odd sensation when he rolls against your belly button. It's a strange feeling!

    I know what pain you're talking about and no, that's not from the baby tugging on the umbilical chord. I personally think it's from your skin stretching. Try applying something cold on it, that seems to help me.

    You definitely can't feel the baby pulling on his/her umbilical cord because it isn't directly attached to you. But, you may have a stretched belly button, which is very tender when babies roll around in there. I have quite a bit of discomfort and some occasional pain surrounding my navel, particularly when the baby moves and pushes really hard against my skin, and I didn't have that pain during my first full-term pregnancy. It's totally normal.
