931.0. "Sensitive Bellybutton" by ZENDIA::MCPARTLAN () Fri Mar 31 1995 19:21

Hi, wasn't sure where to put this...

Did anyone have pain in there bellybutton when pregnant? I'm 20 weeks 
now, and my bellybutton is very, very sensitive. If I just run the flat 
of my had across my tummy, or when I laugh or wash my bellybutton it hurts. 
It used to be a real deep "inny" but it's getting kinda shallow now - 
maybe that's why? 

Just wanted to see if anyone else had noticed a sensitive bellybutton 
when pregnant. 

Thanks,
Donna

	Mine wasn't painful but it was sensitive. Formerly an innie, it became an outie (which I think is fairly common, if not universal)! Don't worry though, they go back to being innies after the pregnancy. Leslie

	Just think of it as an opportunity to get very clean. OR... It's your baby's "bird watcher thermometer". When it REALLY pops out - it's done!

	Donna, Funny, I'm 20 weeks also. I went through the sensitive bellybutton syndrome two weeks ago. I think it's just because it's stretching that it has become sensitive. It's kind of funny to see how it looks now. I'm sure the sensitivity will lessen in a little while.

	Mine was very VERY sensitive with this last pregnancy (I can't remember with the first two), and just to touch it, or just to have a 'rough' shirt on, really hurt. I have an inny that didn't pop "out" but flattened out, the 'fatter' I got. Jeepers, I forgot all about that, but I remember my boyfriend used to sometimes "tickle" my belly, and just a little touch there would send me through the roof. It stopped hurting shortly after I gave birth.
931.5	On the serious side.	NPSS::CREEGAN		`Fri Mar 31 1995 20:50`	9
	On the serious side... Mine was sensative too, it was right around Thanksgiving time [one year]. It was perfect height to "hit" all the counters as I worked in the kitchen preparing food. I finally put a bandaid over it to "protect" it. After a while it stopped feeling sensative. If I wore a sheer material, you could see the "bump" of my protruding belly-button. Now, after three kids my belly-button has "crow's feet".
