Your pregnant belly’s growth keeps pushing your belly button out. It looks weird and makes you feel a bit uncomfortable but it will return to its normal shape after delivery.
During pregnancy
🔘Belly button changes
Your belly button🔘 doesn’t connect to the uterus. It’s just the remnant of your attachment to your mother in the womb from years ago.👩
As your belly grows, it puts pressure on your belly button and causes some inconvenience. The belly button is out in the open making you feel weird😕 when it rubs against your clothes.👚
🔘Belly button pains
Umbilical hernia happens when a piece of your intestines protrudes through the small hole in abdominal tissue into your belly button and gets stranded.🙁 Umbilical hernia is usually harmless, but you’ll experience intense pain😣 when this piece of intestines gets stuck and squeezed in a small space of your belly button.
After pregnancy
The belly button is likely to return to its normal size and shape after delivery.😃 However, sometimes your belly button may stay permanently outside, making you uncomfortable and diffident.
You can choose umbilicoplasty, a surgery that makes the stretched belly button more vertical and less wide.👩⚕️🏥 The surgery is only recommended for moms who have no intention of getting pregnant again because another pregnancy will give you the same result.🤰
