Hey Ladies, I know this probably sounds really stupid but I thought I would ask. I am 2 months post pregnancy and I notice today that my belly button is red and kinda wet.... Weird I know.
Has anyone ever had this?
Thanks!

no but your probably just sweating and if your tummy is growing its rubbing on your pants waistline. i doubt your leaking from your bellybutton.

yep, i had it... i was an infection... just because of the loose skin on the tummy and being sweaty it got infected like any other fold of skin that is kept in the dark... mine went away by washing at least 3 times a day with antibacterial soap and keeping it dry (if you have an innie- you powder and then put some cotton in there and change it when it gets damp) ... if it is really red though you can use some antifungal cream (like for yeast infections or atheletes foot) and it usually clears up pretty quick

Actually no I havent had that with my pregnancies. Weird but not a stupid question. Try gettin a q tip and some rubbing alcohol and clean it out good. It may be getting infected or something. If its persist...I would be sure to ask a doc about it.

If you read the question you would not think this woman is pregnant. She said she is two months post pregnancy.
This sounds more like an infection so if it doesn't improve quickly a medical consult would be a good idea.

It's probably just an infection. Like a yeast infection - you can get those anywhere where it can stay moist. Just dap some hydrogen peroxide with a q-tip and it should clear up in a day or so. (It might sting, but it just means it's working.) Also after your showers, make sure you dry in there! :)

No, haven't had that happen with either one of my pregnancies. Maybe this is something that is not (post) pregnancy related....contact your general practioner and get their take on things. Good Luck :)

Sounds like it's infected. Get a tube of antibacterial cream from your pharmasist.
