A member asked:
If the doctor pulled on the cord at birth, will my baby have an outie?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Belly button: No. "innies" and "outies" for belly buttons are determined by the distribution and thickness of the muscle around the opening that the umbilical cord passed through. Pressure on the cord itself during labor will not affect this.
