What causes belly button pain during pregnancy?

Some pregnant women will have many pre-pregnancy reactions, especially obvious belly button pain. Why does the belly button hurt after pregnancy? If the pain lasts for a long time, is it not good for the development of the fetus? We all know that every woman's physique is different after pregnancy. Some women will not show such problems, so why do some women have belly button pain?

Starting at 4 months, the uterus grows rapidly and moves out of the pelvic cavity into the abdominal cavity. The round ligament is stretched and causes pain. The pain is either on the left or right side. The pain is dull and sometimes gets worse when you change your body position. But sometimes the pain goes away without you noticing it. The belly will be stretched, so there will be a feeling of being stretched around the belly button. It is recommended to use moisturizer to moisturize the skin on the belly as much as possible at this time, otherwise it will easily cause stretch marks.

There is another possibility that pregnant women may experience pain around their belly buttons: in the early stages of pregnancy, there will be occasional cramping in the lower abdomen, sometimes only on one side, 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.

Through the above article, everyone has a clear understanding of belly button pain. If the pain is not very severe, it should be a normal reaction during pregnancy. If the pain lasts for a long time and there are some cramps, it needs to be taken seriously. Never underestimate such belly button pain, as it sometimes affects the development of the fetus.
