When a human or animal is pregnant, the baby has to get its food through the umbilical cord. This cord, when the baby is born, is cut off, and then the place where the cord was attached becomes the belly button.

Where does my belly button go?

If you can't find your belly button, it may be due to a number of reasons. Here are a few possibilities: Your belly button is covered by excess body fat: If you have a higher percentage of body fat, it may be more difficult to see your belly button. You have an "outie": Some people have a protruding belly button, which can make it easier to find. However, others have an "innie," which can be harder to see. You have a medical condition: In rare cases, a medical condition such as an umbilical hernia or an abdominal wall defect can affect the appearance or location of the belly button. You're not looking in the right place: The location of your belly button may be slightly different than you expect. It's typically located in the center of your abdomen, about halfway between your breastbone and your pubic bone. If you're having trouble finding your belly button and are concerned, it's always best to consult with a healthcare provider for an evaluation.

What can you do to keep a belly button piercing from hurting?

There's not much you can do to alleviate the pain of a freshly pierced belly button. The pain should wear off in a few days. If it's an old piercing that's hurting then it's probably infected. Don't leave an infection untreated as in severe cases that can result paralyses of your legs.


Why do you have belly bottons?

before birth, the fetus is attached to the placenta (which feeds it) by the umbilical cord. when the baby is born, the doctor cuts the umbilical cord. a few days later, the piece of the umbilical cord that was still attached to the baby falls off the belly, leaving a small rise in the belly: the belly button. of the next decade and a half or so, the rise in the belly sinks in and becomes a small cave.
