Hi,
I understand your query.
The pain you have at your belley button & above seems to be due to overstretched abdomen following a heavy meal/ indigestion / constipation producing lot of gasses, thus stretching abdomen again.A bit of swelling due to itching/ infection at umbilicus can add to the pain.
Baby movements in uterus reflects the pressure all over in amniotic fluid momentarily... which is unbearable to you at umbilicus.
* I feel taking carminative mixture ,/ butter milk with cumin seed powder & asafoetida ( hing ) powder or fruit salt..would help expulsion of gasses & relieve you.
A slow walk would facilitate relief. If there is constipation, mild laxative with your doctor's advise would be helpful
In case there is no relief with home remedies.. consult your doctor for further management.
Thanks.
