Belly button spot , black head. Baby bump

Just had a thought about when I was 38 weeks pregnant . I was messing around with my flat belly button , when it popped out slightly .

I then noticed it had a scab at the end of it , and i love to pick things and squeeze pimples so I picked and squeezed it and to my amazement a thick black head popped out .
Why would I have a black head there lol !

When I had my next pregnancy i noticed the blackhead hadn't come back.

I'm glad it didn't come back! You scared it off :-).

Sounds quite normal, it is important to keep the umbilical area clean (I'm sure you do), but it can be uncomfortable to fiddle with.

I dry mine gently after bathing or showering and wipe with a little surgical spirit on cotton wool. Goodness only knows what would be found if I delved deeper!
