I am 19 weeks pregnant and my belly button is very sore, like a bruise. If the vomiting was the cause, the tenderness will probably resolve in a day or two. If it is the expanding uterus, it will probably persist until after delivery.
Some women can get unbilical hernias during pregnancy.
If you can feel a lump or bump around the belly button, you should bring this to the attention of your health care provider because this may be a symptom of an umbilical hernia. In any case, if the soreness persists more than two days you should discuss this with your provider, who may want to examine you. All Rights Reserved.
