People who say its the umbilical cord are not correct. That would mean their cord is attached to our belly button on the inside, which is not correct. Its attachted to its own placenta...and will afterwards create your babies belly button. It has nothing to do with ours. The pain is simply the baby putting pressure behind it...you can move him around
Just push him downward off of it. I am also 20 weeks...when are you due?

Yes its the baby pulling on its umbilical cord. Its normal and wont hurt anything. My nephew did it to my sister her entire pregnancy but my baby girl hasnt done it at all to me.
