A member asked:
I bent over earlier then stood up and had a tightening/pulling feeling right at my belly button (hurt). 33 weeks pregnant. braxton hicks?

Examine belly button: Look at the area of pain. Occasionally during pregnancy extra pressure on this area may cause strain or a hernia, which would present as an area of swelling of your belly button. If this has occurred see your doctor particularly if you are experiencing persistent pain. This is not the same as a Braxton Hicks tightening.
