What's your belly button doing?

[pinotgrig]

26w here and my belly button is super shallow. But has not popped yet. Am kind of hoping it doesn't. Also, no linea negra yet.

What about you?

[bananapancakes]

My belly button is usually super deep. It has definitely shallowed but not popped. No linea negra either but lots of beautiful stretch marks have shown up in the last few weeks! Oh and lots of super light blonde peach fuzz too. So attractive!

[katiek]

I have the shallowest belly button I've ever seen normally, so I shouldn't be too surprised. It started flattening/popping out around 19 weeks. It's still only out when I'm really full or bloated, so not all the time. It also looks extra weird because I have a surgical scar inside my belly button, so the scar tissue doesn't stretch. That means only the top 1/3 of my belly button is popping out. It looks so weird!

My belly button is shallow and if I pull at the skin around it, it looks like a volcano! Also, no linea negra (yet) and no stretch marks (yet). I anticipate stretch marks showing up in the next few weeks. My skin is getting to be really itchy!

And lots of light belly hair. What the heck is that about???

[daisycat]

Last night I definitely noticed mine getting shallower. And good to know that others are dealing with the peach fuzz. I don't know what it is, but at least I'm not alone.

My only stretch marks so far are on my backside, and those came fairly early on. With the way my belly seems to get bigger daily right now though, I'm guessing it's only a matter of time now for the belly ones.

Mine is still shallow, not flat yet. I have a very faint linea negra and no stretch marks.

[jene]

Very shallow, faint linea negra

24w2d. My belly button is normally quite deep, but it is definitely shallower. For some reason I doubt it will pop.

[bowies]

I still have the "double bubble" where my upper belly protrudes, then it nips in at my waist/bellybutton, then it protrudes again. I'm very self-conscious about it. I feel like a freak. So, no, no changes to my belly-button. Still no (new) stretch marks either. Just the peach fuzz.

[VillainV]

Very shallow, nearly flat....don't think it will pop :-). Lots of peach fuzz.

[speyedr]

I have a deep belly button and it is completely out, but it didn't pop until pretty late...like 32-33 weeks or so. I also have a faint linea nigra, which also showed up later.

And since I don't have a ticker I am 36+5 today.

[kermit]

I must have a really deep belly button because it's a little shallower but nowhere near flattening out. I've had the linea negra for a few weeks now.

Mine too. In fact, i'm not really sure where the Belly button ends and the scar tissue begins. Its kinda grossly fascinating.

It didn't realy pop out though until 30/31 weeks. I had kinda figured it wouldn't pop out at all.

ETA- I'm 31 weeks.

Mine never popped and I could never see the bottom - must be really deep! I had/have a very faint linea negra and had one stretch mark that popped up around 36ish weeks maybe? Now that everything's going down post-delivery, I have more and my belly button is a sad little pool.

It is pretty gross. The scar is also a different colour, which makes it look even funnier. I don't think I'll be taking any bare-belly pictures!

[pitterwoo]

I've been expecting it to pop any day for a couple weeks. I'm 31 weeks now and still think it looks like it will pop soon.

I also have the peach fuzz and a faint line. No stretch marks yet.

[pixiedust]

Belly button is definitely more shallow, and the skin right around it is kind of spongy. And a ton of stretch marks.

DITTO!

[chickadee77]

My normally deep belly button is getting shallow, too, lol. 25 weeks. So far, no linea negra and no stretch marks, but I bet that'll change! We shall see!

[Deleted]

Super shallow belly button. It is weird No linea nigra, but tons of long peach fuzz all over!

[adcobe]

Mine is flat with the very top part trying to poke out.

[lo]

Tons of light peach fuzz and the button is seemingly getting more shallow everyday. I'm kind of excited for it to pop out! No stretch marks yet, but I'm only 23.2 weeks along. Plenty of time left :/!

[Blue Moon]

Mine just looks super weird between the hole from my old belly button ring and my surgical scar.

I have a surgical scar inside the lower part of my belly button, too. Thanks for the heads up that it may look really weird!

16w and it's flattening out a little, but not too much yet. It was a decently deep innie to begin with, so I'm holding out hope it doesn't pop out too much.

[papie]

I'm 36 weeks and it is almost flat. I have a super deep belly button and it never popped out with my previous pregnancies. I also only get a very faint linea negra probably because there is barely any pigmentation in my skin, I am ghostly white.

[andthentherewere10]

mine sticks out and is visible through my clothes. linea negra is present but no stretch marks @ 32.5w!

Oh thank God I'm not alone. I was inspired to Google it and it's called a B belly. Most said it sticks the entire pregnancy. Yay...

26 weeks here, my belly button is flat but one side seems like it's wanting to pop. Although it seems like some days when my belly is super stretched due to a growth spurt or something, it's really stretched and then it regulates again. I have a faint linea negra all the way up and down my belly. I first noticed it at 17 weeks.

One thing I have is red marks around my belly button, but they aren't stretch marks. It's so weird.
