@pregnancyanatomy: Yes — your “innie” can temporarily become an “outie.” 🧠 As the uterus expands, pressure from inside the abdomen pushes the belly button outward, especially in the second or third trimester. 💡 You might notice: • a flattened belly button • slight bulging when you cough or laugh • mild sensitivity around the area 🌸 It’s harmless and usually returns to normal after birth as abdominal pressure reduces. ⚠️ If the bulge is painful, very firm, or doesn’t go back in when lying down, mention it to your provider (to rule out a small hernia).
