Pain around belly button during pregnancy

During pregnancy, the growth of the fetus may cause girls to feel pain around their belly button, which is normal in most cases. However, prenatal check-ups are very necessary and should be done in a timely manner according to the doctor's instructions. This will be responsible for both your own and your fetus's health, avoid the occurrence of serious diseases, and is in line with the concept of eugenics. So, what causes pain around the belly button during pregnancy? What are the precautions?

1. Your baby starts to grow and develop

Starting from the second trimester (around 4 months), the fetus will grow very fast in the mother's belly and the belly will be stretched. The pregnant woman will feel the area around her belly button being pulled. It is recommended to use moisturizer to moisturize the skin on the belly as much as possible to avoid stretch marks. Of course, pain around a pregnant woman’s belly button will not affect the development of the baby in the belly.

2. Uterine enlargement

In the early stages of pregnancy, there will be occasional cramps in the lower abdomen, sometimes only on one side, and sometimes the entire lower abdomen will hurt, but it will not be too painful, only a slight cramp. This is mainly because the ligaments supporting the uterus are pulled upward due to the swelling of the uterus during pregnancy. No special treatment is required, just rest. If the pain is severe and unbearable, or it is continuous pain rather than occasional cramps, you need to see an obstetrician and gynecologist.
