When does your bellybutton pop out in pregnancy

Your belly button undergoes a series of changes during pregnancy most of these changes are completely normal. These changes also are temporary and your pre-baby belly button will be back eventually. In this article, we will discuss when a belly button pops out.

During your second or third trimesters, you are likely to notice some changes around your belly button. More specifically, around the 26 the week. This happens due to the stretching of the skin along associated with the pressure from an enlarging uterus. Some people say, your belly button is like a timer, once it pops out your baby is nearly ready to come out.
However if your belly button has not made its outward voyage yet, do not be alarmed. This is because some women’s belly buttons do not come out. All of this depends on your weight before pregnancy and how much you have gained or stretched during pregnancy.
It is very possible for some women to experience the popping of the belly button in one pregnancy and not in the next. This does not mean that there is something wrong with your belly button popping out. You can however consult your doctor just in case and make sure that your little one is growing on schedule.

Most expectant mothers do not even realize their belly button has popped out because it is almost always pain-free. It is not unusual to go to bed with an innie and wake up with an outie the next morning. The fact of popping is pain-free. The biggest disturbance is visual and not physical
If you had an innie before your pregnancy, you may notice some irritation. That is because your belly button is not used to being directly against clothing and this makes the rubbing cause irritation. Most mothers who experience this tape their belly button or place a bandage over it to avoid irritation. You can also use a maternity support belt to ease the pressure of a rapidly growing abdomen.
