Why does a pregnant woman feel pain around her belly button?

Starting from the second trimester, the fetus will grow very fast and the belly will be stretched, so the area around the belly button will feel stretched. It is recommended to use moisturizer to moisturize the skin on the belly as much as possible at this time, otherwise stretch marks will easily appear. Please rest assured that the pain around the belly button of pregnant women will not affect the baby in the belly.

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.
