Has anyone had a pinching feeling near belly button?

I’m 37 weeks pregnant and for the past week it’s felt like my baby’s pinching me just to the side of my belly button. I’ve felt the same thing today except it’s caused a very sharp pain and it’s tender where it happened. Any suggestions to what it is?
