Pregnancy Symptoms & Complaints: Umbilical Hernia
If your belly button pops out too far during pregnancy, it could be an umbilical hernia. Find out what causes this and how to feel better.
Nearly all pregnant women get an "outie" navel during pregnancy- but in a few cases, the navel protrudes so much that it is considered a rupture, or "umbilical hernia." This condition, which also occurs in newborns and young children, rarely cause problems or requires surgery.

Did you get to see the specialist? What did they reccommend? I am 28 wks pregnant and am in much pain from my umbilical hernia. I have a 14 month old daughter & developed the hernia while pregnant with her I guess, but it never bothered me. I didn't even notice it until after she was born, when my doctor pointed it out. I then surprisingly became pregnant again 8 mos later, and boy is it hurting me now!!!!! I guess I will need to have it repaired eventually, after this baby.....
