The incredible shrinking belly button



When I stare straight down at my bare tummy, it looks kind of like a full moon topped by a tiny crater (my belly button). But as my stomach stretches out to make room for baby M, my belly button has been getting tinier every day, retreating into itself. Perhaps one day, it'll be an outie, as many pregnant women experience. Then it'll look like a little mountain atop the moon.

Whether it will remain a crater, turn into a mountain or remain a mountain forever -- even after the baby is born -- is anyone's guess.

Apparently, the incredible shrinking belly button is just one of the many millions of little amazing (and strange) changes a woman's body experiences when having a baby.
