What to do if your belly button hurts during early pregnancy

Belly button pain in early pregnancy is a common situation for many people, which makes many expectant mothers feel very worried. My cousin is in the same situation. She is three months pregnant this month and the fetus is well seated as the old saying goes here. But for some reason, she has felt pain in her belly button these past few days. This makes her very worried, fearing that the baby has some problems. She is under great psychological pressure and always cries silently. After learning about her situation, I accompanied her to the hospital for a check-up. Fortunately, there was no problem. The doctor said that this was a normal condition and introduced us to several causes of belly button pain in early pregnancy.

1. One reason is that after pregnancy, the enlarged uterus will cause compression of the nerves and blood vessels in the abdomen, which may occasionally cause transient tingling symptoms. Don't be nervous. If it doesn't happen many times, don't pay attention to it.

2. Another possible reason is uterine fibroids, which can be ruled out by B-ultrasound examination. If you have done B-ultrasound examination before pregnancy and in early pregnancy to confirm that there are no fibroids, this reason can be ruled out.

3. The fetus will grow very fast and the belly will be stretched, so you will feel that the area around your belly button is stretched. It is recommended that you use moisturizer to moisturize the skin on your belly as much as possible at this time, otherwise it will easily cause stretch marks. Please rest assured that pain around the belly button of a pregnant woman will not affect the baby in her belly.

4. Another possibility for pregnant women to have pain around the belly button is: 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 pain. 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.

The above is the method the doctor introduced to us to relieve navel pain in early pregnancy. After listening to her explanation, my cousin’s mood improved and she felt that her stomach was not so painful. Seeing this, everyone must have a very deep understanding of navel pain in early pregnancy. If expectant mothers encounter such a situation, they must pay attention to rest, walk less stairs and take less car.
