Hi I am 36 weeks pregnant. I feel like inside my tummy near belly button cracks. It feels warm and a little hurt. Every time I sit and bend to get something, I feel like my tummy pop and skin cracks. Im wondering if the skin cracks and have breed inside. I didnt see any blood come out when I urinate.Thanks!
Hi, Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.  So-called skin cracking you refer to is in fact crack in upper layer of skin due to overstretched abdomen... the primary symptom is itching on the cracks. Which you seem not to have. The resultant stretch marks are called strike gravidorum.  In later months of pregnancy... the abdominal stretching is still increased...abdominal muscles also become stretched some what separated creating fear of breaking skin bleeding. Please don't be scared. There is no breaking of skin or popping or bleeding. Abdimen is strong enough to bear the stretch strong labor pains.  In these days. You have to ha very gentle movements. No Turks or hurried movements please. Try to support abdomen with one palm. Yo overcome the fear.  Thanks.
