When the navel in pregnant women begins to protrude a little, expectant mothers are worried about whether this is normal and whether it will become the same after childbirth. Waiting for a child makes noticeable changes in appearance, which are most often completely natural, so you should not worry.
As the fetus develops and grows, the expectant mother’s belly grows in size, and the skin around the navel stretches. Considering such changes, the bulging of the navel is completely normal. In addition, the skin around the navel can itch and even ache, and stretch marks are often formed on its surface.
The navel in pregnant women can stick out, itch and hurt a little.
Usually the navel turns into a protruding “button” at the 23-25th week of pregnancy and continues to grow with the growing belly. This phenomenon depends on various factors:
- the age of the expectant mother;
- number of pregnancies;
- the complexion of a woman;
- fruit size.
A pregnant woman has a bulging navel if she has gained excess weight, carries a second or third child, or has a dense physique. In fragile girls, a large fetus most often becomes the cause of the appearance of a “button” on the stomach. But there are also cases when the navel does not come out, and this is also considered normal.
If the belly button sticks out too much, and the skin around it itches, it will not be superfluous to wear a special bandage for pregnant women. Special creams and cosmetic oils for stretch marks will help to avoid stretching the skin around the navel and minimize discomfort.
As soon as the long-awaited moment comes – the birth of a baby, the navel will gradually begin to take its previous shape. Do not worry that this cosmetic defect will remain with you for life, the navel will finally take on its original appearance after 7-8 months.
