I can't remember when it went back to normal, but it looks exactly the same as it did pre-pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/belly-button-postpartum#post-973467 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 16:10:12 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 973467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine never went back to normal.</p> <p>It used to be tight and small and deep. It turned into this wide, shallow thing in the middle of my stomach that resembled the end of a hot dog.</p> <p>I am now pregnant again, and my belly button just looks weird. seriously. I am pretty sure I now have the weirdest belly button of all time for the rest of my life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/belly-button-postpartum#post-973456 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 16:08:16 +0000 Dandelion 973456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is normal at 4 months, but I don't know exactly when that happened. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/belly-button-postpartum#post-973452 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 16:06:08 +0000 SeptMomma12 973452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is still popped 10.5 months later. Stomach is flat, belly button is not at all - makes for some challenges when getting dressed:( That's what I get for being "all belly" with a 9lb baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/belly-button-postpartum#post-973421 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 15:49:58 +0000 Amelieisme 973421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@maybebaby: It will go back to normal color! I hated mine being brown. It takes quite a while (months!) for the color to normalize. Mine is pink and normal color again, thank goodness! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/belly-button-postpartum#post-973406 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 15:44:01 +0000 Sweet T 973406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine went back to normal. It never popped during my pregnancy but was really shallow. It did feel kind of different. I'm pregnant with #2 and it definitely got shallower much faster!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/belly-button-postpartum#post-973354 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 15:28:54 +0000 travellingbee 973354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: I don't know either!! It used to be so cute! I also want this linea nigra to go away! Ok here goes... You can see my "beebo" 4.5 months postpartum, old piercing and all! </p> [attach=3175/13/mqpsw7.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/belly-button-postpartum#post-973143 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 14:30:35 +0000 Alivoo01 973143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: Yes!! That's how I see it right now, that's why I was wondering if it'll ever be the same because it's so wide now. Not sure how it's supposed to shrink back up! LOL! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/belly-button-postpartum#post-972623 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 12:23:40 +0000 tysonja 972623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>it took awhile, but it did finally look normal again :) to be honest i would say closer to 6 months. :) it will happen!! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/belly-button-postpartum#post-972481 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 11:45:21 +0000 MsLipGloss 972481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: Yep! Mine looks like it did before! It didn't pop while I was pg, it just flattened out. </p> <p>@maybebaby: It will lighten up (along with a few other things!) in a couple of months . . . I had my linea nigra for at least 5 months pp! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/belly-button-postpartum#post-972056 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 10:10:54 +0000 travellingbee 972056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 4 1/2 months, mine looks like a normal belly button but it doesnt look like before. It's much wider-- you can see right into the whole thing where as before it was all hidden in there. LOL My stomach on the whole looks pretty good. Not totally flat yet but getting there. I am back to prepreg weight give or take a couple pounds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/belly-button-postpartum#post-972044 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 10:07:03 +0000 2PeasinaPod 972044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine went back to normal about 8 weeks PP! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/belly-button-postpartum#post-972034 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 10:03:17 +0000 Modern Daisy 972034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've read that usually it goes back to how it was eventually, so I have hope for myself! I had a very deep innie and I'm almost an outie now at 35 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/belly-button-postpartum#post-971977 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 09:43:59 +0000 MusicaV 971977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 10 months pp. It's mostly back to pre-preg, but not totally. It's deeper but still a little too wide. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/belly-button-postpartum#post-971953 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 09:34:56 +0000 Alivoo01 971953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tororojo: @HLK208: Thanks ladies!</p> <p>So there's some hope my belly button will resume it's previous state! My belly is definitely squishy though and that was an eye opener for me. I haven't tried putting on my non-maternity jeans yet, and am afraid to to be disappointed if they don't fit! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/belly-button-postpartum#post-971329 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 00:18:35 +0000 shopaholic 971329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: Mine used to be very tight and deep too, and I thought I had the saddest looking belly button post-partum. It just recently started to look a little more like normal (I'm at almost 5 months pp). But it's not as small and deep still. My belly button never popped either, but just got really stretched wide and shallow. Hoping it will get smaller, but not sure it will ever be the same. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/belly-button-postpartum#post-971308 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 23:45:25 +0000 sarac 971308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine went back to it's original state after a month or so, but tight and flat are not how you would describe my stomach. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/belly-button-postpartum#post-971043 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 20:04:48 +0000 wonderstruck 971043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 11 weeks PP...it's definitely not the same, but it looks a heck of a lot better than it did int he first month! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/belly-button-postpartum#post-971026 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 19:53:58 +0000 maybebaby 971026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 8 wks PP and my belly button looks the same as PP shape wise but it is brown! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/belly-button-postpartum#post-970820 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 17:40:30 +0000 Smurfette 970820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine went back to normal </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/belly-button-postpartum#post-970813 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 17:31:31 +0000 Amelieisme 970813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine isn't the same either :sad: Its been a year and my stomach overall looks good, fairly toned. But that belly button is a dead giveaway. It looks like an old car where the upholstery has come loose and it hanging down from the top. Ugh. I hate it. It did turn dark during pregnancy and that, luckily, went back to normal. I seriously want plastic surgery on my belly button to pin it back the way it was! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/belly-button-postpartum#post-970810 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 17:27:57 +0000 twinmama 970810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine isn't the same as it was even at a year out. But I think others would say it's normal looking :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/belly-button-postpartum#post-970790 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 17:15:40 +0000 deerylou 970790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 12 days pp, and my belly button is back to normal, save for a light ring in my skin tone that appeared in the last month or two of pregnancy. This is my first baby, and overall, I'm back to my intial size. I'm a little flubby, and definitely need to tighten up, but I'm wearing my pre-pregnacy wardrobe again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/belly-button-postpartum#post-970768 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 16:57:44 +0000 betsyboop 970768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine went back to normal, I think it took a few months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/belly-button-postpartum#post-970709 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 16:22:29 +0000 HLK208 970709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats!!!</p> <p>It took a 3-4 months for my stomach to feel normal again but had I tried to tone up, I think it would have been quicker. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/belly-button-postpartum#post-970697 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 16:14:28 +0000 MamaBehr 970697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After two pregnancies and never really losing all the baby weight, it is not the same. Now that I'm pregnant again, I have a feeling I will never have the same belly button. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/belly-button-postpartum#post-970691 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 16:08:31 +0000 tororojo 970691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: Mine slowly shrunk over a few months...now at almost 5 months pp it looks pretty normal. P.S. congrats!!! I was just thinking of you the other day and didn't realize your baby was here already! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/belly-button-postpartum#post-970681 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 16:03:19 +0000 MrsRoo 970681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine went back to normal but I don't remember when. Maybe a month or so pp? It took long enough that I was wondering if it would ever be the same again. And mine actually popped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/belly-button-postpartum#post-970675 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 15:59:54 +0000 .twist. 970675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FutureMrsMcK: that is reassuring! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/belly-button-postpartum#post-970632 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 15:40:00 +0000 Pepper 970632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wondering this too, mine is so dark and stretched out! </p>
