My DD hasn't lost her umbilical cord yet, the doctor said to expect it around 2 weeks but sometimes there a small amount of blood coming from it. Is this normal?

DD#1 is 3! And LO#2 is on his/her way! Due Feb 26th, 2014.

 

BFP#1: EDD 5/7/2010 born on 5/20/2010. A little girl named Emily.  

BFP#2: m/c 10/29/2012 EDD was 6/21/2012 Baby Hope was 6 weeks 3 days. 

BFP#3: Twin B stopped growing at 8 weeks and 5 days. Found on 8/10/2014. EDD was 2/26/2014. Twin A is still doing great and due date is 2/26/14.

    If it is just a little bit of blood it could be from it getting pulled a little.  It is just like a scab so if it comes off or getting pulled on a little before time the tissue under it isn't completely healed so it might be red or bleed a little.

    Not sure if it's normal, but my LOs belly button has had a little bit of blood coming from it for a week now. The stump fell off, and the scab fell out, and it's still a little bloody. I'm hoping it's normal. Sorry that probably didn't really help! :)

    Yes, a little bit of blood/discharge is normal. A large amount is not. Just keep it clean with alcohol. My DS' did that and the stump fell off not long after, so maybe yours is getting ready!

    DD only has a little scab left in her belly button but hers did bleed a little bit..I'd find blood on the edge of her diaper and such..I figured it was normal because belly button scabs were found on the inside of her onsies..I assume it was just stick and pulling off..causing the bleeding.

    Our LO's didn't fall off until almost 3 weeks.  I think a little bit of blood is okay, but I would keep an eye on it and try not to bump it.  Good Luck.
