Anything to relieve belly button pain?

So uncomfortable! In the morning I’m fine but after lunch I feel bad until the next day. Some days I do get constipation so that could be a factor.. I take miralax and a fiber gummy and eat lots of fiber.

How far along are you?
I had pain around the navel (and eventually also pain through hips) starting at about 30 weeks with my 2nd pregnancy. I'd start off fine in the morning and could barely stand up straight by the evening. A supportive belly band made a huge difference.

I carried my 2nd DD a lot more "in front" than I did my 1st DD, and my midwife and the MFM I saw (I was AMA) both told me that the pain was due to the stretching/expansion of my muscles and tendons in that area.

I am 34 weeks and yes same experience as you. It starts in the afternoon and sucks sucks sucks. I did get a softer maternity belt which seems to help a tiny bit.
