has your belly button popped yet?  

post #1 of 27
Thread Starter 
I'm 35 wks and mine hasn't yet...it doesn't look like it would either, I have a really deep one.

I think they look gorgeous when they pop and I was looking forward to it.

Anyone else with a belly that hasn't popped?

Mine doesn't ever, but I am fat. I always though it was because of that...

I have a deep dark belly button too. The closest I get to poping is nearly flat. But it is seriously deep. I have a mole in there that I never knew I had till pg with ds1 I love my belly button though and I plan to have it pierced after this guy is born.
BTW I think outies on prego bellys are beautiful too.

I'm 35 1/2 weeks (but who's counting, right?) and my belly button did a weird thing. It is not popped out all the way, it seems too much of an innie, but the skin around the top half of it is poking out. I'm sort of annoyed actually because I've been wearing these maternity t-shirts and the effect of the poking out belly button is sort of like an extra nipple! Not so sleek ...

Mine is completely convex, it looks like a little hill.

Mine flattened out at 26-28 weeks and then popped at 34 weeks. So weird because it didn't pop with DS. Anyone else have a different experience with different pgs?

Mine never popped out with Claire. I was so sad because I think popped-out belly buttons on pregnant bellies are adorable

I'll be 37 weeks tomorrow and I'm still an innie. A very shallow innie, but an innie nonetheless.

So i'm not the only one then...Awww
I was reallly looking forward to it.
I'm a slim build but my belly button is such a deep hole... when I have a shower i carry water in there for hours before I notice!

Well, mine has been migrating further off-center to the right for the past several months. Now I am quite lopsided.... un-centered?.... asymmetrical? I was never aware of this apparent birth defect until I became pregnant! Anyway, I suppose the thing is on it's way to popping out (the belly button, that is) and therefore DP recently compared it to a meat timer. Maybe when the baby's done in there, the belly button will pop all the way out?

funny.. i was actually thinking the other day of starting a thread for the same reason.. hadn't gotten around to it yet obviously. haha

i'm 37 1/2 weeks and mine hasn't popped. i'm sad. haha. everyone has THOUGHT it popped for MONTHS tho cuz i still have the piercing in in the bottom on my belly button.

it popped with DD#1 but this time around it doesn't look like it plans to. oh well.

My belly button didn't pop at all with my first, but this time it popped out really early. And it was not gorgeous, it looked like a little hernia. But now with my belly getting more stretched, it is flattening out a little.

Mine has popped. As my husband says, I must be done! I don't think it's so cute, but at least I don't have the line this time! I think tomorrow, I'm going to have the girls (5 and 3) do a belly painting and take some pix!

That is an awesome idea! Maybe I'll get dd to help me with that too!

Mine didn't pop with my first and I don't think it will this time either. It's just really flat and stretched out! lol

Mine is flat and streatched out, but sometimes half of it pops... I really truly think that there is something keeping it from popping all the way!

Mine popped since I was six months pregnant and still "popped up" at 38 weeks today! My son loves to kiss it

That is how mine tends to look when i am walking around.

I find mine changes appearance based on the baby's position and mine. If I am laying semi-reclined on the couch on the lap top like this, it can be a little bit innie, or basically flat. If he presses there, it will stick out.

When I am laying on my side or sitting leaning forward, it sticks out.

That's me too. Secretly I'm glad because I think I would feel weird if I had an outie.

I'm in the wrong forum, cause I'm not due till end of Jan./early Feb. : but saw this on the front page. I'm only 3 months and already popped out this time-3rd baby in 3 years, though, so maybe it hasn't had time to recover! I am very thin though-size 0 before any babies and got back down to a size 2 before this one (#3).

I'm 36 weeks and it looks like it's going to pop any day now. But I kept saying that it would pop with my first and it never did, just went flat.

DP and I joke that it's like the meat thermometer. When it pops out, baby is done.
