: If you have concerns about this ongoing but mild discomfort consult a physician or abdominal surgeon for evaluation and advice. You could have a tiny umbilical hernia. If you've had previous abdominal surgery, adhesions are a possibility. I wouldn't expect simple gas pains to always occur in the sane place.
