I have seen my sister go through this after her delivery. She told me it's very common and nothing to feel conscious about. Our bodies go through so much to bring a life.
While a popping belly button is mostly normal, sometimes it can be a sign of a mild umbilical hernia if there is pain. For absolute safety, just show it to your gynac during your postpartum checkup.
I know it looks a bit strange right now, but please be kind to your body. It housed a whole human being! That "outie" belly button is just a badge of the beautiful journey you just completed.
It's just because your stomach stretched like a balloon, obviously it will take time to get back. Don't press it or try to push it in. It will settle down on its own in a few months.
When I was recovering at my mother's place, she told me not to worry about these changes. The belly button usually goes back to its place as you heal. Just enjoy your little baby right now.
Don't worry, it is just because the abdominal muscles stretched so much to make space for the baby. My son is a toddler now, and my belly button is almost back to how it was. Give your body some time to heal.
It is very common as your uterus shrinks back slowly. While you are breastfeeding, your body releases hormones that help in this recovery process naturally. Don't rush yourself, you are doing amazing.
My mother told me to tie a soft cotton cloth around the waist post-delivery to help the belly, but my doctor said it just takes time for the muscles to shrink back. Just focus on healing and healthy food for now.
