Hello!

Thank you for the query.

What you feel is nothing more than regular intestinal movements. If an intestine is in the close neighborhood to the skin, you can feel the moving with your skin receptors. It is more common in thin persons.
Sometimes due to umbilical hernia such sensations can be more noticeable.
As long as there is no abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, fever, no reason to be concerned.
If there is a lump in the belly button area, hernia is possible. In such case you should consult a surgeon.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
