My belly is so sensitive!

I am about 37 weeks and my belly, especially underneath my belly button, is soooo sensitive! I don't remember feeling this way with my first. Sometimes it feels like I'm being poked by something sharp, even when nothing is touching me. Other times, it goes between feeling like it's burning and like it's numb- crazy!

Has anyone else felt like this? What did you do about it?

I'm not having this problem (yet!), but I just wanted to give a shout-out to another SAH Ph.D.! We'll have to chat sometime!

Did you by chance have a c-section with the first baby?

If not, I would not be horribly worried about the feeling though it is something to get checked out.

My first was a vaginal delivery, so it's not like a scar bothering me or anything. I'm seeing my doula tomorrow and OB Friday, so I will tell them. It is such a strange feeling. I am so ready to be done!!

Mine's really sensitive too, but the sensitivity manifests itself in ticklishness. I look forward to returning to normal.
