Possibly: A period can come at a time other than when due if there is stress of any sort on the hormonal signals. If you have bleeding from your belly button during your period, you could possibly have an endometrial implant there (Endometriosis). I would see the doctor to get your umbilicus checked for infection and possibly for a pelvic exam if you have not been evaluated recently or are sexually active

Remotely possible.: The belly button is a warm, moist secluded area where infection can occur. Clean it out gently with hydrogen peroxide twice a day. If symptoms get worse or redness spreads, antibiotics are recommended. Re: association with vaginal bleeding, it could occur in the unlikely case that ectopic endometrium implanted there. This is too complex to explain here, so ask your physician for details.
