The reasons for the protruding belly button of expectant mothers are mostly related to these four factors.

Why is the mother's belly button exposed? Elders often say that an exposed belly button means a boy in the belly, and a concave belly button is a girl in the belly. This statement is necessarily unreliable. The sex of the fetus is determined before conceiving, it is only related to whether the father provides the X chromosome or the Y chromosome. In fact, many mothers with exposed belly buttons end up giving birth to girls. So what is the reason for the exposed belly button of the expectant mother?

The bulging belly button of expectant mothers may be related to these four factors:

1. The reason for the bulge of the navel may be that the expectant mother is overworked during pregnancy, resulting in excessive pressure in the abdominal cavity

Being overworked refers to the fact that the expectant mother is still doing housework, lifting heavy objects, etc. while she is pregnant. Due to the force, the waist is forced when bending down and squatting, and the abdomen will be compressed, causing the navel to protrude.

If you are worried that the bulge of the belly button will not recover, expectant mothers should rest a lot. After a certain rest, the belly button will return to its original state.

Therefore, when you are pregnant, you must not let yourself be too tired, and a lot of rest is good for yourself and the fetus.

2. The bulge of the navel is because the mother's congenital development is not good, resulting in excessive pressure in the abdominal cavity

This condition is commonly called an umbilical hernia. If the mother-to-be has an umbilical hernia, she must go to the hospital for an examination first to see if it will affect the fetus, and follow the doctor's advice for treatment. If the mother has a hernia before pregnancy, it is necessary to improve her diet, ensure light, reduce abdominal pressure, and pay attention to frequent bowel movements.

3. The bulge of the navel is also closely related to the looseness and firmness of the mother's skin.

As the fetus becomes larger in the later stages of pregnancy, the expectant mother's abdomen will experience more pressure. If the expectant mother's skin is moist and firm, then the expectant mother's abdomen will bulge out under this pressure. Conversely, less hydrated, loose skin is less prone to bulging during pregnancy.

4. Whether the belly button is convex is also closely related to the position of the fetus

Some fetuses will be on the inside of the back wall of the uterus, while others will be slightly outside. Relatively speaking, the former will make the expectant mother less pregnant, the belly will not look so big, the pressure on the expectant mother's abdomen will be less, and the navel will naturally not protrude. The latter will put more pressure on the mother's abdomen from the early stage because it is very outward, and the belly button of the expectant mother will bulge out.

After pregnancy, mothers will find various changes in their bodies. Some mothers will turn black around their belly buttons, some mothers will grow thick hairs around their belly buttons, and some mothers will have obvious black belly. Stretch marks will appear different in thickness and shape.

These changes have nothing to do with the sex of the baby. All these changes occur because some hormones are secreted after pregnancy, and these hormones in turn act on the mother's body, which will cause more or less changes. These are normal phenomena, and mothers don't have to worry about it.

So when a mother-to-be discovers that her body has changed a little during pregnancy, don't be afraid, it's your baby who is quietly changing you, it's like telling you: "I will soon It came to this world, Mom, I'm really looking forward to it!"

I hope the mothers can successfully give birth to healthy and beautiful babies!
