someone tell me what this belly button pain is.

[ImHappyBeingMe]

I've looked it up and I kept getting IBS. But, I'm not even sure what that is. What's that do?
Anyways, It's just a small pain.. Comes and goes through out the day. Or when I stretch. Nothing too bad I can't handle it. Just noticeable... Anyone know what this could be?

how are u ladies??

I'm not sure if it's the same thing or not -but I have pain off and on near my belly button- kind of off to the side of it and a little above it...  I asked my dr and he said it's the baby putting pressure on  the muscles and isn't unusual.  The pain sucks -but it comes and goes.  I'm 30 weeks pregnant and this random pains has been going on for a few weeks now.

I had that same pain around 8-10w.
Don't worry, it'll go away.

a friend of mine is pregnant with her 4th child and she was having alot of pain near her belly button...im not sure just where but i think maybe right above it...he doctor told her it's kinda like a hernia that can come during pregnancy.  She said it's probably because she has been pregnant so much...maybe it's the same thing?

i had that pain when i was preggo with DS, and i get it occasionally now even though i am not preggo....i have looked it up just recently and it also said it was IBS.....which is not a surprise to me since my mom and aunt have IBS...so who knows!

[ImHappyBeingMe]

heh, I'm ok today. They don't hurt. But, still feels like going to. eep. lol

[jesslee83]

yeah, my breasts would only hurt when i wake up.....i hate it, so i switched my am showers, for RIGHT before bed and it's made a HUGE difference! they're only a lil tender now, versus it being really bad! that and as soon as i woke up i would rub body creme, not the runny lotion, into them, and omg! it worked so well! either body cream, or the non-irritating(the bottles with red and orange caps BURN!) ky lube(it's kind of oily, but it helps ro *massage* them)....

[ImHappyBeingMe]

yeah I only went with what I found on google. I'm sure everything is fine. I mean I feel fine. Nothing to bad. The pain is noticeable but it's okk for the most part.


I did what you said! I rubbed it. lol And it went away. I haven't had any breast soreness at all. Except a little bit of pains.. here and there.. But, but my nipples have been swollen for a long time. And, it feels like I'll be waking up with some pain in my breasts tomorrow. Their starting to hurt. Wahhhhh...

btw, mention this to your doctor.. If it is a hernia, it is inopperable because the surgery during pregnancy would be too risky, so he may limit your like, exercising and daily routines to a minimal of physical activity to prevent worsenning the hernia.. It may be nothing too serious, but you should just be a little careful of making it any worse before you speak with him/her about it.

[irrelevance]

I'd look for herniated navel, herniated belly button, or something.. I can't remember what it was called in medical terms, but it's a hernia in your belly button...  Just a thought.

And as far as I know, IBS is Irritable Bowel Syndrome, and sounds totally unrelated to what you're experiencing??

[jesslee83]

haha.....ya i found alot of scary stuff! but not ibs!

idk, i didnt know i was preg till then, and had no symptoms......but i'm sure your fine, my ob also gave me the dr version on *what to expect*, and in a pic i saw there was a *timeline* of the uterus growing and alot of stuff inside you has to compress itself to make room, so it could be the *rearranging* of other organs as well!!!

[ImHappyBeingMe]

ohh.. that's kinda a relief. But, even at like 8 weeks? hmm..
Yeah, I'm stopping the googling thing now!! lol

[jesslee83]

ok well i googled it, and i'm getting skeery sh*t, so stop looking it up and if it gets really bad, tt your dr!!!.....sry, i just hate relaying stuff that may be totally opposite, espp if it could cause undue and uneccessary fright....

[jesslee83]

not a helpful answer, but if it makes you feel better i have it too....my mom mentioned even though the baby is sstill really small, it could be from *him* pulling on it, or it getting tangled....ya they say everything with BB's, and butts is IBS.....dont worry, i get it alot, and i usually just massage it and guess what! it goes away! plus it feels good lol (the rubbing!)
