Belly Button Bump
Michael and Emily. Two peas in a pod.
I can’t believe I already have a belly button bump. It has happened so early this pregnancy. Although it’s not protruding the plane of my belly, it’s still a bump within my normal belly button.
My belly button popped during my first pregnancy much later. I remember not thinking much about it and one day I realized, oh, I have a belly button bump.
It makes sense because my belly is much bigger now too. I’m in my 17th week and I already feel huge. I read that the baby is five inches in length now, which sounds long to me, but I just hid it so much longer in my first pregnancy.
I was with family members last weekend who haven’t seen me since Christmas. They all said that I am not that big and if they didn’t know me they wouldn’t assume I’m pregnant. I agree with them, but I also can’t deny how big I am already.
My friend, Liz, is due with her second in a few weeks. Her daughter Emily, loves to point to her own belly button and her mommy’s. When I recently was over their house for a play date, Emily pulled up Liz’s shirt to point to her belly button.
Michael plays this game with me too. I just don’t have to expose extremely stretched skin, a bulging belly button and dark line running the length of my abdomen. My belly is simply full-looking, yet still soft. But which is worse?
How much earlier has your belly or belly button popped than in your first pregnancy?
