    Belly Button Question

    I am wondering when one's belly button 'pops' out? I have read that it happens before the sixth month, but am wondering what others have experienced. Also, does it pop out overnight or is it a gradual process that you don't really notice? Many thanks!

    Hi! My belly button popped out at around 4-5 months with my first pregnancy, and actually it never realy regained it's natural state!! This time around it was protruding from about 3 months, and now it's just like a huge door bell (that's what DS thinks it is - a door bell to the baby). It's not like it suddenly "pops", but it happened quite quickly over a couple of days i think.

    I think that it just depends - everyone's different.
    Mine's still flat at 36.5 weeks.

    I got to 41+6 and mine was just fairly flat. The top bit stuck out a little but I could push it flat and the bottom bit stayed in.

    Mine never really popped out either. It went flat. When I lay on my back I could push out my tummy & make it stick out though LOL. This time it is still not quite flat.

    Tracey - PMSL at 3.5 hours! You really know your dates don't you! So why in pain? Not prelabour is it?

    Mine never popped out, thanks to a nice extra layer of fat over my belly. However it does look the happiest it ever has being nice and tight!

    A big thankyou for all your responses. They cleared up my misconception that all Buttons popped out and by a certain week! I will stop waiting for it to happen now and relax!
