I had a miscarriage a couple months ago and I think I may be pregnant again. I haven't missed my period this month and thats why I'm worried. I am having belly button pain. I have pain nowhere else. Just when I push inside my belly button. Its not severe, just dull and achy. I have heard of other women experiencing this. But not during the first trimester. What could this be?

Hello,
Welcome to the ehealthforum and I am really glad to help you out.

If you had unprotected sexual intercourse, the possibility of pregnancy can’t be ruled out.

However, the presence of belly button pain is not a definite sign of pregnancy. For the confirmation of pregnancy, I’ll suggest doing a serum beta HCG test.

This is a very sensitive test for the confirmation of pregnancy.

You can wait for your periods and in case, you miss them, this will further confirm the presence of pregnancy. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care.
