Question for the former preggos!

Did your belly button pop out, and did you get that line down your belly? If so, when??

So far I have neither, and I'm wondering when to expect them!

Jenn, WAYYYYY Later on !

How far are you, 5 months?
So that was me last early June. I was just starting to show a little then. Nothing as far as 'major' obvious changes at that time (such as these that we're talking about). I was so anxious though! LOL.

The bellybutton popping out thing (which I COULDNT WAIT FOR !!!!!! ) was maybe in the 8th month. That line I never got at all...
and then towards the WAYYYY end, some stretch marks made their appearance...

So are you feeling the flutters ???

No flutters... this kid went from nothing to full out kick boxing!

Thanks for the insight... I thought I was a freak!

ETA I'm 5 and a HALF months!

I remember my belly button popping out also around the 8th month and I never got that line either...

My belly button didn't pop. I don't remember a line. It doesn't happen to every woman.

Re: Question for the former preggos!

I wouldnt really say it POPPED OUT so much, but its almost like its stretch out as far as it can go I LOVEDD IT.

My BB never popped but it got very very shallow. I got the linea nigra but not very dark, I think how dark it gets has to do with your coloring to begin with. It's still there but faint.

Re: Question for the former preggos!

I think my belly button popped at 8 months...I got that line at 7 WEEKS preggo, believe it or not...and it's STILL here, darn it! I can't wait for it to disappear.

Re: Question for the former preggos!

My belly button disappeared around 7 or 8 months and would 'pop' out if the baby was in a certain position - I never got that line either!

Re: Question for the former preggos!

I normally have an 'inny' so, it took a very long time and even at the end - it didn't really stick out. But it was more visible under lightweight spring blouses.

My hormone live appeared very early and was pretty dark - but I have dark olive toned skin.

Re: Question for the former preggos!

My SIL insisted that my belly button would eventually turn to an outy and pop, but it never did!!! Also, I had a dark line and it went all the way up (it's almost gone now), but I think darker skinned women tend to get a darker line.

Re: Question for the former preggos!

While I'm not a 'former preggo' , I can tell you that my belly button hasn't popped, but it's disappeared!! It was an innie and now it's an I don't know whatty! As for the line, I just discovered that I have one as of Sunday night!!!!! Joe actually noticed it when I was sitting down, so I made him bring me my mirror because, how sad is this, I can't see where it was going!

Re: Question for the former preggos!

my 'innie' flattened out..so it looked like I had NO bellybutton..and rob teased me quite a bit about it..as it concerned me at the time...

no line though...I am fair skinned.,..but I did get stretch marks..all over lower belly...those DONT go away...
I was so upset about this when preg since it seemed I was losing a lot of myself and being taken over by the baby. Now, I dont like the stretch marks..but hey they are the roadmaps to getting to my current happy life!

Re: Question for the former preggos!

My belly button popped out around 7 months and I do have a line! My MD says that its hormonal and will go away after giving birth. All the fun things to look forward to!!!:-)
