This May Be a Little Silly...

I'm currently 3 months pregnant and my belly button is popping out already. Have any of you used anything to hide it? Friends have told me about using a bandaid and some said some good and bad about 'popper stopper'. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

What can I do next?

I loved the episode of Roseanne where her sister Jackie was pregnant. (She was pregnant in real life and lifted her shirt up).
Roseanne poked her belly button and said, "Does this mean you're done?"
Like a turkey button popping out.
You can try band-aids, but I really don't know why you'd want to hide it.
You're pregnant.
Belly buttons pop out.

Enjoy your pregnancy!

They do have those pants where the band covers the belly... other than that, I wouldn't worry about it- it isn't like it is a rare and frowned upon thing. Everyone has a belly button and everyone (I think) has one that pops out during pregnancy.

I read the mom below said that people would specifically touch her belly button- I certainly would not like THAT! That would bug me too! Hope that isn't happening to you... if it does, you should scare them and say "OUCH!" then say "just kidding!". That will get them to take their hands off you! haha

I just laughed at my belly button sticking out and didn't worry about it. It gave everyone a smile and sometimes a laugh. Easy way to share a smile with someone!

I think you should embrace your beautiful bellybutton. Its popping for a reason and that's because you're pregnant. Pregnancy is a beautiful thing. I don't think anyone is judging your body because of the things that happen to it when you're pregnant.

Sorry, I tried everything when mine popped out and nothing worked.. My husband even tried to create a patch for cover it.. Hee, hee.. Fun to try, but it still poked out or the adhesive would come undone..

In my last pregnancy I tried everything and the only thing was looser tops. I only wanted to hide it because for some reason, people want to touch your belly button which was uncomfortable for me. Sorry

I think the outties are really cute! Mine never popped out when I was pregnant and I was always waiting for it to... :( Enjoy it, just karate chop anyone's hand that tries to touch it.
