DH asked if it was from the boys kicking... I said if that were the case, my entire belly would be purple at this point! </p> <p>@MamaMoose: My belly button is kinda weird in that I've had two surgeries with my belly button as an access point (laparoscopic) so it hasn't looked normal for a while lol... I guess if I have felt like I've grown more even in the last day or two, there's more pressure on the veins there, right? </p> <p>The things our bodies go through for our little ones! I'm just waiting for my belly to explode with stretch marks next! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bruised-belly-button#post-181267 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 20:59:38 +0000 MamaMoose 181267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not there yet but I would guess the discoloration is more likely just from the fact that your veins are more noticeable rather than from a bruise. It's probably just hard to see the line of the vein inside your belly button. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bruised-belly-button#post-181264 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 20:58:52 +0000 mediagirl 181264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! As soon as my line showed up, my belly button started getting darker. It does almost look bruised. It's weird, huh? I was told it's totally normal. Of course, for a while, she was kicking/punching me in the belly button so I thought it was from that. :) I think it fades like the linea nigera does. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bruised-belly-button#post-181261 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 20:56:39 +0000 Shimmer 181261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lifted my shirt today to show DH that I think I'm looking a little bigger than even yesterday and immediately noticed that the inside of my belly button is darker, almost like a dark brown/purple color. It wasn't there this morning when I woke up. There's no additional pain (just the normal stretching sensations I have). </p> <p>WTH? Anyone else have this? Does it stay this color or does it go away? </p>
