Belly Button Hurts

[bryanarae]

Has anyone else experienced a painful belly button? It mainly hurts when it is touched or something rubs up on it. I just noticed it starting a couple days ago. It goes red around my belly button when it gets irritated. I never had this with my first pregnancy, so it's new to me. I have a dr appointment today and I am going to ask about it, but anyone have any ideas about this? Has anyone else experienced navel pain?!

Yep, one of my first complaints with this pregnancy! (my 4th).  Maybe because it is my 4th, my bb was extremely sensitive early on, though it has gotten better.  I expect it will get worse again later on.  Very irritating, but not much you can do!

mine hurts when i touch it also, but i think its coz its really stretched thats why! ive mentioned it to my midwife and she seems to think its because its stretched and nothing to worry about!

I do at various times. It gets sensitive just like my boobs did, and everything else in my body that is changing. It is a common complaint when pregnant.
