Red dot in belly button?

  • It doesn't seem to be raised and doesn't hurt. My husband said its because I have an umbilical cord going to the baby now, but I've never heard of it showing on the outside!
  • My guess is it has probably always been there but since your belly button is starting to push out a little you can actually see it. But really, how much time have you spent looking inside your belly button before to know whether its pregnancy related or not...?

  • Haha, I'm strange because I notice every little thing. I clean my belly button every day and it just appeared out of no where. I'll definitely ask my doc, but wasn't sure if it was common...
  • This may not be it at all, but I get little red dots often which are the beginning of moles. Especially on my abdomen, they always start as little red dots and then a while later I look and sure enough, it's a brown little mole. Keep an eye on it, monitor how it grows (if it does), and ask your doc.
