In her second trimester, Sarah turns to her go-to parenting expert and mom, noted author Maya Johnson, to help clarify some of the unusual symptoms she’s been experiencing.
Sarah:
Hi everyone! I’m Sarah. Today, I’m excited to chat with my mom, who is not just my best friend but also my trusted pregnancy resource. I’m currently in my second trimester, and my body seems to be changing every single day. With that in mind, I have a ton of questions that I need answers to right now. So, let’s dive in!
Maya:
Absolutely, let’s get started!
S:
My partner won’t even glance at my belly. My belly button, which used to be this lovely innie, is now like half in, half out.
M:
Let’s take a peek.
S:
Is this going to go back to normal?
M:
Well, it might continue to pop a bit. If you started with an innie, it likely won’t pop all the way out. After pregnancy, it will recede, but it might not return to that perfect little slit you once had.
S:
That’s a bit disheartening. And I have to mention, my belly is hairier than my husband’s—seriously!
M:
It’s a little fuzzy wuzzy, isn’t it?
S:
It is! So, can I get rid of this fuzz?
M:
Not until after you give birth. Pregnancy can lead to unexpected hair growth in various places.
S:
Oh, I’m aware! Another concern I have, which I bet many can relate to, is that I often find myself comparing my belly to other moms-to-be. Am I too small? People keep saying, “Oh, your belly’s really small.” Is it?
M:
Remember, every pregnancy is unique. It’s completely normal to have different belly sizes at the same stage. If you want more guidance on how to navigate these changes, consider checking out this resource, which is excellent for pregnancy-related information.
