Can pregnant women pick their belly buttons?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

The navel is prone to accumulating dirt. If it's not cleaned promptly, it may develop an unpleasant odor. While it's not forbidden to use your fingers to remove the dirty stuff inside the navel, be careful not to apply too much force. The skin around the navel is very thin, and scrubbing it may cause redness, swelling, or inflammation.
