What Causes Tender Belly Button During Pregnancy?

I am 13 weeks pregnant and my belly button has been tender for a couple of days. This morning I woke up to dried blood on my shirt and in my belly button along with some white discharge. When I got home from work just now I noticed a bit more dried blood. Should I go to the urgent care since the Dr.s office is already closed?

Hello dear,I.understand your concern.In my opinion there might be some skin infection in the belly button area.But it might neither be related to pregnancy nor can cause harm to it.But it needs physical examination for accurate diagnosis.Topical antimicrobial antibiotic can be applied.If not subsiding oral antibiotics might be needed.Nothing to worry.Relax.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
