A member asked:
What do you advise if i'm the only person i have ever heard of to be born with no umbillical cord, no belly button. tell me how.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You're kidding right: You may have no visible belly button.This can occur for a number of reasons often related to surgical procedures around the time of birth.I doubt that you remember your birth. Whoever lead you to believe you had no umbilical cord was lying to you, or you fabricated the story yourself. It doesn't happen.
