okay, i am 33 weeks pregnant and last night i seen that there was liquid in my bellybutton. my bellybutton isnt popping out yet, its just kind of disappeared.anyways, there is liquid in it and i took a q tip and gently tried to swab it out, when i looked at the q tip there was a small amount of blood on it. later that night, i was looking at my bellybutton again and there was like, a crust where the liquid was, so i got the crusty stuff out and there was still more liquid. there is still liquid in it this morning and all night and still, my bellybutton is very sore, that is what made me check it out in the first place. should i call my doctor? has this happened to anyone else?

yelow fluid or puss coloring indicates inffection or that your body is trying to clean itself. I would call your doctor. If you were larger and your belly button was sticking out i would say it might be from stretching the skin and possibly tearing. But i you have stated that that is not the case. if your next prenatal appointment in not in the next couple of days i would make an earlier appointment. If the office is too busy to fit you in go to a walk in clinic and they will send the info to your family doctor. Hope this helps. Good luck and Good health to you.

I would make an apt. with your doc. & see what's going on, you could have some kind of bacterial or yeast infection.
You need to be seen to get treated appropriately.
You can use 1% hydrocortizone cream with a cotton ball to clean it out & make sure it stays dry.
