Belly button everted

Belly button eversion is a symptom that many women experience during pregnancy. Many people believe that having an outward-turned belly button will lead to the birth of a son, but this statement actually has no scientific basis. During pregnancy, the symptom of belly button eversion is only caused by the enlargement of the pregnant woman's uterus and increased abdominal pressure, and has no necessary connection with the birth of a boy or a girl. Next, I will introduce to you the relevant knowledge about belly button eversion during pregnancy!

1. Causes of belly button eversion during pregnancy

Many people say that a protruding belly button means you are pregnant with a son. However, this statement has no scientific basis. In fact, the belly button turns outward during pregnancy because the belly grows larger with each month and the abdominal pressure increases, which causes the belly button to turn outward. This is a normal phenomenon and mothers don’t need to worry.

Recommendations during pregnancy: Pay attention to balanced nutrition, eat more vegetables and fruits, and ensure adequate intake of nutrients such as protein. You can appropriately supplement some vitamins and minerals, which are beneficial to the health of the fetus and mother.

2. How to clean the belly button during late pregnancy

1. Soak a towel in warm water and wring it dry. Gently scrub your belly, especially the belly button, without applying excessive force.

2. Soak a cotton swab in water and use it to wipe the belly button. Then use a new cotton swab to rub it with soap and clean the belly button. Remember not to insert the cotton swab too deep into the belly button. After wiping, use a clean cotton swab to soak it and wipe it. Repeat this several times and the belly button will be clean.

3. Causes of navel pain in early pregnancy

In addition to abdominal pain after pregnancy, most pregnant women will also feel pain around the navel after pregnancy. As the fetus grows during pregnancy, your belly will stretch and expand, and the skin around your belly button will be pulled apart, causing some pain.

At this time, you can apply some moisturizing cream around your belly button to avoid stretch marks in the future. It is normal for pregnant women to have pain around their belly button and it will not affect the fetus in the body.

There is another reason for pain around the belly button, which is lower abdominal pain in the early stages of pregnancy, but it is not severe pain. This is caused by the enlargement of the uterus after pregnancy. No special treatment is required, just rest in bed more. If you experience severe pain or constant pain, you should go to the hospital for treatment.

If you eat spoiled food or overly irritating food during pregnancy and cause gastrointestinal cramps, it can also cause stomach pain. Although it is not a big problem, during pregnancy, the eating habits of pregnant women should still be light, easy to digest and nutritious.
