Been getting this weird pain around my belly button since few days, kind of sore when i touch. Im in my second trimester and belly is growing. Anyone else got this, is it just the stretching?
Its usually the skin and muscles stretching as the bump grows, and the uterus pushing on the navel area. Pretty common in second and third trimester. Mild pain is normal, but sharp or severe pain should be told to your doctor.
I get this odd pulling pain near my belly button and got a bit worried. Reading this it sounds like just stretching. Did others feel this around the second trimester too?
My doctor said as the uterus expands it stretches the abdominal wall around the belly button, causing that ache. She said it can also happen if the navel pops out. Nothing to worry unless its severe or with other symptoms, then report it.
