Belly Button hurts :(

My stomach has started to grow, and I can tell.

I feel this horrible stretchy feeling both inside and out. I do not like it!

I have a belly button ring. I've had it since I was about 18. I've actually tried to take it out before, but I can't get the ring open to take it off. Well, now that my belly is stretching, the area around the ring is starting to hurt. If it is touched, it hurts. It is red between the holes that the ring goes in and out of.

I put on a cammy yesterday for bed, and it looked like I had stuffed a pillow under my shirt.

I already feel like there is no room left for this little guy to grow, yet I know this is just the beginning. :(
