Belly Button

[nicoleE]

I just read a weekly pregnancy email I get sent to me and it said:

· Your navel may suddenly pop inside out and remain as such until after the birth.

Do they really just 'pop' all of a sudden?? :eek:

I was sure that they just gradually dissapeared!

I have a navel bar in which I need to change to a plastic one which I have waiting on stand by for when it 'gradually disapeared'! :laughing:


So what really happens? Has anyones gone yet?

[Kewe]

umm what happens is the belly button gradually goes out

it gets flatter and flatter, if your lucky you'll just have a flat belly button, but some do get a pokey out one by the end, it only pokes out a little bit

[nicoleE]

thats what i figured but that email made me wonder if all of a sudden my belly button was going to flatten in a matter of seconds! :laughing:

With Mitch, mine never changed. Hopefully it won't this time either! I hate belly buttons, they're gross! :barf:

ya never know, mine just flattened with DS2 from memory, and mine flattens on sitting at the mo, so I might be a poper outer this time round

oh and on that thought, the ones that have already had kids, did you belly button go back to normal after bubs? cause mine was a real deep never ending belly button before being pregnant and it hasn't been the same since

[luckie_me]

lol Mine stayed Normal too, Maybe that coz I had extra padding.....:laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

My belly button went straight back to normal after DS's birth. I had my naval pierced before I fell pregnant with DS and removed it when my belly button went 'flat' coz it kept catching on everything! Oh and Nicole it was a gradual thing for me too. Then I got my naval re-pierced when DS was about 2 yrs old. I have already removed my piercing this time around as it started catching on things earlier this time! I will probably get it re-pierced when I finish having kids, if I still have a nice belly by then! :D

Pebbles, why do you take it out rather than putting a plastic bendable one in? Just wondering if there was a reason..

My belly button (an innie) has gotten a little flatter and, along with my protruding bump, is making my naval bar stick out... its one with a jewel on both ends so it almost looks as though my BB has already popped and is sticking out from under my top IYKWIM.

nicole I had a banana bell in my belly button when preg with DS2, I took it out at about 20 odd weeks cause it was anoying me lol, I figured the plasic one would anoy me too lol so didn't bother, cause it would still poke out, I probably could've kept my belly button peircing in if I could put up with it catching on everything

Hey there, My belly button stayed the same after my first son, I did have a naval ring, But I just peirced the ring back in everynight to keep the hole open... then after I had bubs I just put the ring back in.

But with this one, at about 20 weeks It was going red and sore, so I took it out, and it closed up almost imediately:(

But oh well, Im think it wont be as attractive after this one anyways.. lol

I had an inny with brad and yes it did go completely back to normal.. :D

With Bailey mine just went flat I am so glad it didn't pop out.

[Pebbles]

Nicole - Yep I am the same as Jo, just figured if the metal one is annoying me the plastic one would be no better. Feels nicer to rub my little belly without a naval bar in the way!

Hey NicoleE

I'm glad you started this post. I also have a bar in my bb and haven't wanted to take it out yet (although it's getting a bit red at the top). My husband and family have given me flack about it but I figure it's up to me when I take it out.

Luckily it's a small one so it's not catching on much but same as you it looks like my bb has popped out already in some tops! I have the bioflex bendy one on standby also!! But it's a bit uglier so I'm trying not to use it. lol the vanity!
