Old navel piercing/bruised feeling

[nl92]

I used to have my belly button pierced but let it close 2 years ago. I'm now 34 weeks pregnant and have noticed the mark where the piercing was has started to stretch leaving sort of a stretch mark. Over the past few days this spot has started to pinch and almost feel like a bruise but there is no actual bruising. Does this sound normal or has anyone experienced similar?

Thanks girls :) did use get that sort of pinched bruised feeling too? It's so irritating unless I sit down.. when the skin is less stretched out

Its the scar tissue from the piercing stretching. I had weight loss surgery last year and the little scar I have from the probes is always itching and it tore open a little too because its still considered fresh

Mine is like that as well. You can see both of the holes and there is a stretch mark going down them. I figure it's because the skin is thinner
