The way that the umbilical cord is cut when you are born determines it, I think.

Yes it depends on the doctor that delivers you.
I have heard from pregnant women that sometimes their innie becomes and outie during their pregnancy however. I have never asked but I think it returns to an Innie after pregnancy.

It has to do with how much body fat you have around your stomach. A lot of fat and you have and innie, not much fat and you have and outie.

It's how well your mother cared for your umbillicord after you were born.
Those with outties...mom's took very careful care
Those with innys....mom was too busy doing her own hair and nails.

There's no special way to "get" an innie or an outtie. It's how you were born.

It depends on how closely the umbilical cord is cut to a baby's skin.

its the way you were formed in the womb. However, if you have a very protrudant outtie, you might want to get checked for a hernia. thatsometimes happens
