Ok so sorry but this probably sounds gross. Had midwife appointment friday & as she was checking my stomach she asked was my belly button ok. When I looked it was gross looking and green on the insde. I nearly puked. Dr checked and no infection etc. So wtf is it. I shower every night etc.
I was using coconut oil as my bump moisturiser and midwife said maybe its been settling there and built up. She said wash it out woth the shower head. Iv done that A LOT and still seems more or less the same. I actually hav a phonia of belly buttons. Ladies please help with any ideas how to get myself back to normal. I get light headed just thinkin about it!!!!

Mine used to do that and sometimes it can be caused by taking showers and not drying it out. I have a push in belly button so when water and soap get in there it sits and if u don't dry it. It starts to irritate the belly button.

Try gently cleaning with a q-tip. You may need to loosen the build up before the shower head will clean it out.
