bruised feeling

Yesterday I started getting this bruised sensation in my belly right above my belly button. Sometimes it feels like a painful bruise then goes to a dull feeling but is still there. Not really sure what could be causing it. Anyone else experience this?

    Your abdominal muscles could be pulling apart. It isn't painful for me this time but I don't remember if it was last time. I noticed the other day if I feel right above my belly button I can feel an indentation in a straight line about an inch long. It's weird.

    Congratulations! In "The Mother Of All Pregnancy Books" there is a whole section on belly button tenderness and feeling like around your navel is bruised... not every woman gets it, but all of those who do get it between 25-30 weeks, then it goes away again, anywhere from a week to a month or so later.

    So nope, don't know WHAT it is, jsut that it is a documented complaint of exactly the stage you are at!

    I know exactly what you are talking about!! I had that around the gestation you are now, back and forth for quite a few weeks. I still get it sometimes. It hurts like a mother!! I usually got it when I walked or was out and about the whole day....when I got that feeling, I knew my body was DONE for the day. My friend also got it. Not sure what it was, I thought maybe stretching.

    I figured...another one of those strange pregnancy related symptoms with no real answer. It doesn't help that DP is obsessed with my almost sticking out belly button. I've been trying to take it easy a little more...and watching how I sit up from lying down positions. This bruised feeling seems to coincide with me starting to feel big. And I have three months to get bigger!
