Changes in belly button after pregnancy and common sense of care

Pregnancy is a happy thing for every woman, and women who are about to become mothers need to pay attention to many things. For every pregnant mother, as the pregnancy months increase, many different changes will occur in the body. Your belly is growing, you're gaining weight, and so on, even your belly button is joining in the fun. So, what changes will happen to the belly button after pregnancy? How to provide care?

The small belly button also undergoes significant changes during pregnancy. Especially after the second trimester, the originally sunken belly button becomes more and more protruding. In fact, pregnant mothers don’t need to be nervous. This is because the central meridian fascia in this area is thinner and easily affected by pressure, and it is easy to bulge when squeezed by the uterus. Of course, not all pregnant women have protruding belly buttons. This is also related to the firmness of the skin. Generally, those with tighter skin have more tension and are less likely to be squeezed out.

As for cleaning the belly button, pregnant mothers can use a cotton swab dipped in lotion to clean the dirt before each bath, and then wash it after it softens. Of course, since the belly button itself is sunken, it is not easy to clean. If you cannot clean it all at once, do not force it, so as not to damage the skin around the belly button due to excessive force, causing skin breakage and bleeding, which can easily cause infection and cause greater harm to the expectant mother and fetus.

Pregnant mothers need to pay attention to every detail during pregnancy in order to have a "good pregnancy". Changes in belly buttons vary from person to person, so there is no need to worry too much about them. They are all normal. You can refer to the editor’s introduction above to clean your belly button. If it is not very dirty, you can ignore it.
