When Did Your Belly Button Pop Out If Ever?

This isn't really a big deal but with my first 2 pregnancies my belly button popped out after a while. I'm 24 weeks now and it still hasn't popped. I really can't remember at what point mine popped out with the others so I'm not sure if I'm just not far enough a long or maybe it just won't this time. I know all woman are different so I'm sure I'll get all different answers but I was just kinda curious as to when other belly buttons decided to pop. :)

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

This is fun I like hearing about every ones different belly buttons :) Well I found my pregnancy journal from my first baby and I had written down that it popped out at week 30. That doesn't mean that will happen this time around but if it does I probably got a few more weeks before it happens. Not that I'm complaining I don't really care for the popped out button but it's not something you can control ya know :)

My belly button never "popped"--even though my waist grew 11 1/2 and 12 inches (respectively) with my two pregnancies. It just got super flat. :-)

Mine went out right at the end, when I got that final little "growth spurt" into enormity. It went right back like a week or two after the baby was born.

All three of my kids were different.
My first popped out at around 8 months
My second popped out at around 7 months
My third popped out at 5 months
My fourth popped out at 4 months
I think it depends on you, where the baby is sitting, how many pregnancies, etc. It did seem with me that the more pregnancies the quicker it popped.

Good luck and enjoy!

Mine popped out about 2 weeks before our son was born. It was like the pop up timer was indicating he was done.

Mine popped out with both babies. I don't remember exactly when. It was the weirdest thing though!
My daughter is expecting her first baby and I'm wondering if hers will pop out too. She's really tiny and her belly is already huge. She's only half way through.

I just remember being scared mine would stay that way, but of course it didn't.

It doesn't always happen.

Best wishes and be sure to let us know when your baby arrives!

with my first, i was about 3 mos, i clearly remember it was the first day i couldnt button my pants, and not only did it pop, but it herniated, i was standing in times square watching criss angel submerged in that tank and i felt it happen, ill never forget it! :) it ended up like a doorknob by the time michael was born, not really sexy at all haha. i had to have it repaired after that, so its not a "real" belly button anymore, so nothing to really pop with the next 2. probably not helpful to you, but your question made me smile.....

With all 4 of my pregnancies my button didn't pop out, it flattened but didn't pop out. My skin has next to no elasticity though so, Im not surprised.

Mine didn't pop out until my 8th month with both of my pregnancies. It never really popped "out" -as in sticking out -but more flattened completely so all you could see what a slight puckered place on the otherwise smooth belly. VERY weird looking to me! Of course now, without a hugely stretched belly, my belly button seems to be enormous. I feel like it's at least 2.5 times the size it was pre-pregnancy.

Mine popped early early. I think it was about 25 weeks, maybe 26. It's my only pregnancy so far, so who knows with the next!
