What is the difference between a convex umbilicus and a concave umbilicus during pregnancy? The doctor gave the answer, which was a little surprising!

Today, when science provides evidence for pregnancy, many symptoms of pregnancy are scientifically based. Even a seemingly “less important” place like the belly button has a certain scientific direction. During pregnancy, many pregnant mothers will find that as the belly gradually swells, the pregnant belly also takes on a different appearance. Some navels are protruding and some are sunken, so pregnant mothers have many questions, and they are even \”forcibly\” connected with the gender of the fetus. In fact, whether the belly button is raised or sunken during pregnancy has nothing to do with the gender of the baby, but is related to the skin of the pregnant mother\’s abdomen. 01 Pregnant mothers with loose skin are prone to bulging navel. If the abdomen is relatively loose and has a lot of abdominal fat before pregnancy, then as the belly gets bigger and the space for the fetus in the abdominal cavity becomes smaller and smaller, it is relatively easy for the navel to bulge. The phenomenon of external bulging. This kind of pregnant mother is more likely to develop stretch marks, and the postpartum recovery effect is not as good as that of pregnant women with concave navel. 02 Pregnant mothers with tight skin are prone to having a concave navel. If your abdominal skin is tighter and has better tension before pregnancy (such as a fitness enthusiast), even if the abdomen gradually becomes larger during pregnancy, the navel will be more \”safe\” and less likely to appear. The umbilicus is convex and still maintains the shape of the concave umbilicus. Also because of the tightness of the abdominal skin, such pregnant mothers are less likely to develop stretch marks and recover faster after delivery. Pregnant mothers should note that they should maintain good and adequate rest during pregnancy. If you do not pay attention to this and cause physical fatigue, the fetus will \”protest\”! Then it is possible that the sudden change in fetal position may lead to indirect belly button swelling. At this time, pregnant mothers should pay attention to rest more and avoid exertion. Regarding the care of the pregnancy umbilical cord, Yaya’s mother will teach you a formula today: three prohibitions and one cleanliness! No.1 It is known that there is no strong connection between the umbilical bump and the gender of the fetus, so you need to relax and treat it normally. The first thing you should pay attention to is cleanliness and health. If a pregnant mother has signs of protruding belly button, she should follow the nursing principle of \”three prohibitions and one cleanliness\”. So what does the three prohibitions and one cleanliness mean? no.2 The three prohibitions are no squeezing, no crushing, no picking! After all, the belly button is a very sensitive part of the human body. The skin tissue here is very soft and fragile, and cannot be squeezed or dug at will. The belly button is very close to the fetus. Careless squeezing or digging may lead to infection and inflammation of the belly button, and in severe cases may even lead to miscarriage. No.3 Cleanliness refers to keeping the navel clean. In fact, the navel is the same as cerumen and does not need to be cleaned frequently. It is even said to be the first barrier of the navel. However, if the pregnant mother feels unclean, she can use a medical cotton swab or hot towel moistened with water and wipe it gently to wipe away the dirt. But finally, remember to disinfect it with alcohol. If it is inconvenient to clean up by yourself, you can also explain the situation to the medical staff during the prenatal check-up and ask the nurse to help clean it up. Don’t underestimate this problem, which is only about the size of your “belly button”. The state of your belly button is an indicator of pregnancy! Through this seemingly small appearance, we can also see the big picture of health during pregnancy. By maintaining a balanced nutrition, reasonable dietary intake, and maintaining good hygiene habits, the entire pregnancy will be safe and smooth, and the fetus will be naturally healthy.
