Just curious about everyone else's bellybuttons! I'm 35+ wks and mine hasn't popped yet but looks like it might, but I'm hoping it doesn't.
Do you think I might be lucky and it not pop out if it hasn't yet at this late stage?
Has yours popped yet and if so, at how many weeks did it pop?
If yours popped out in a previous pregnancy, how soon after birth did it return to normal? (please don't tell me it stays out forever!)
Thank you ladies!

BUMP!
so does no one one here have a popped one yet?
Maybe mine isn't about to pop after all then?

Mine didn't pop out. It just stretched flat, although I had a very deep one previously.

Mine looked like it was threatening to pop for the last bit of my last pregnancy - never did though so you might escape it.

I'm 28 weeks, and the baby (transverse lie) seems to be feeling mine from behind so it pops out a little bit every now and again which feels a bit weird

mine is out & proud!
I'm 28 weeks today and it has been out since 26 weeks. Last pg it popped as well but cant remember at what stage. It goes back in as soon as baby comes out

Mine keeps threatening to pop out completely, e.g. when I cough, but so far, at 32 weeks, it's just flat.

To all those ladies whose navels have popped out - Does it happen overnight, or do you gradually notice it coming out?

Mine didn't pop out on during either of my pregnancies!

Mine looked like it was going to pop out but never did even though my bump was massive. It went back to normal straight after the birth.

I must have the weirdest. Didn't pop out last time but this time it is actually half out (on top) and half in (at bottom) Started about 27 weeks??? I kept pushing it back in for a while but its all grisley and a bit painfull and kept coming out anyway so I gave up! Now 34weeks and it doesn't seem to be coming out any more. Its very sensitive though.

Great thread btw

Mine popped out agggggeeees ago, and I did have deep in belly button.
My DH has a lot of fun with it: he makes me laugh and then goes to feel my belly button, coz it pops out even more and goes slightly harder, tiny bit, whilst you laugh or sneeze or cough
