I have felt pain in my navel, does it indicate something bad for the pregnancy or should I not worry?

During pregnancy, a woman's navel undergoes changes due to the enlargement of the abdominal area. It is common that towards the end of pregnancy, the navel protrudes or bulges due to the pressure that the uterus is exerting on it. This may cause a little pain, but it is not a cause for concern.
