ok i am 16 weeks pregnant and i had a iny belly botton for my whole life. but in the last 2 weeks it is becoming a outy is it normal? i have seen pregnant wemon have this happen to them. the doctor told me a little about this but not much. i just want to save a trip to the doctors and ask people that have been trough this. so the question is......is it normal to have your belly button change?

It will go back in after you have the baby. I was an innie all my life and too became an outie. Its perfectly normal

yes it is normal. The belly button is the scar of the connection of the umbilical cord. The deepest part of the belly button is tethered to the abdominal wall fascia. The shape of the belly button is from the overlying fat and skin with the deep attachment holding the typical "innie" shape. With the distension of the belly of pregnancy, the abdominal wall pushes out. This can change the shape of the belly button, for some more shallow and for others, "pop out."

Oh yes it can change alot. Haven't you seen pregnant women walking around with a huge "outty" poking out through their clothes? I think it looks cute as long as it's not super huge. I'm at 30 (almost 31) wks, and mine is mostly flat now. With my last pregnancy it also flattened out and stayed that way, no outty. It's just the baby pushing it out, no big deal.

Yes it's very normal. I'm waiting on my belly button to do the same thing and i'm 5 month and not really big yet.

Yes , that is always normal. It goes back to normal after you have the baby.

this is a perfectly normal reaction, it is kinda scarry to have so many changes happening all at once. it will go back to normal very shortly after you deliver. hope this was helpful.

Yes, it's very common to get an "outtie" while preggo! I secretly hoped mine would pop, but alas, mine is too deep! Good luck to you!
