Question 2

ok i am pregnant and i felt my belly button and it was moist and there was white discharge that came out. is there something wrong with my pregnancy or baby?

Accepted Answer

No: Your belly button has no connection to the baby.  However, the inner belly button is a common place for yeast to grow and sometimes bacterial infections.  Put a few drops of hydrogen peroxide in there and let it bubble out the material then blow dry that area 3-4 times day to help kill whatever is causing the material to come out.  See your OB at normal follow up and discuss it.

Question 6

my belly button has popped out during my pregnancy. now it's four months after i delivered  but why still my belly button didn't  go inside.?

Accepted Answer

Longer leash: Before your pregnancy, your belly button was tacked down on the inside to a ligament (which used to be the umbilical artery and vein) from your umbilical cord when you were born. The degenerated artery and vein- now ligament- delivered blood to your liver.
During your pregnancy that ligament stretched and probably tore so that the internal pucker is no more.

Question 10
