Belly button pain

I'm curious if anyone else feels it or not. But I was wondering if anyone's belly button was painful to touch, etc. When nursing my baby, I dragged him across my tummy, and my belly button hurt quite a bit. Is it normal? Does it get better? When pregnant, my belly button became flat. Maybe that has something to do with it? Thank you in advance ☺️

I'm 22 weeks with my first so I don't know what's normal pp! However, I had a belly button pain in my first few weeks of pregnancy, all the midwives and consultants kept telling me that it was normal and it kept getting worse and it didn't feel normal at all. It turned out to be a belly button infection which I've never had before and it got gross in the early hrs of Christmas morning which meant an emergency out of hrs GP Appointment. Not fun. Yours may not be anything like that or course but after that experience I think my advice would be that if something doesn't feel right TO YOU then I'd suggest contact your Dr and insist they check it and then also monitor it yourself x

Mine does, too. i had my baby 2 weeks ago, and if i touch my belly button, it hurts. I'm guessing it's because the uterus is shrinking and everything is going back to its normal place.

@Tiffany this was my thinking too. I have a drs appointment soon, so I'll ask her, but I was just wondering if others have experienced it. I hope you are doing well x

@Zara thank you, I have a drs appointment soon, so I'll ask her :) I'll definitely keep an eye on everything though x
