DF actually asked about this is Antenatal class last week. Was quite amusing.
It's all up to how it heals. DF still has an outie at 23. Looks funny lol. I have an innie, or a flattie at the moment lol.
I always thought they tied it too, then the whole cord clamp thing was explained to me and so on and yeah, mystery solved lol.

DS 3 def. has an outie, no concerns have ever been raised about it. It healed really well and quickly, never thought (and still don't think) it is a concern.
DS 1 has an innie - similar to his Dad's!
Me, just a bottomless pit

Bowie I just had a flatie when pregnant
Re cutting the cord, DP cut DDs and it was straight after she was born and still pulsating, mw hands him the scissors and says 'Away you go!' he was like 'But it's still pulsating!!!!' She assured him it was fine though lol.

I was told they used to tie them and it would depend on how close the knot was as to weather it would be an inny or outy .. these days they use a clamp which they get much closer so now outies are rare.

DD still has an outie - especially at the end of the day when her tummy pokes out most, it's so funny! My belly button never even went flat when I was pregnant (despite the 9lb baby lol), it was still an innie. Although I do have a seriously deep belly button, had never seen the bottom of it until I was UTD!

My DD has an outie at the end of the day too the rest of the time it's kinda just a flattie.
Mine's usually an innie, at the moment the bottom of it looks innie and the top looks outie (and I'm only 16weeks lol  ) it did the same last time - never fully popped out I don't think.

Well interesting... I thought that it was hereditary and that how the cord was cut was "an old wives tale"
I thought that me and my husband have innies and therefore so will our baby boy :-) hmmm....

Wow, i so did not know that it was just how it healed! Awesome.
Here's something weird for you guys, I really like innies as oposed to outies but my belly button is SOOO far in, you can't see the bottom and I used to get infections in there from not being able to clean it! I would have to pull it apart with tweezers and clean and dry it every week or so..
So.. at 20 weeks I'm looking forward to finally being able to see the bottom of my belly button!!

my flatmate has a very deep umbilical hernia.
his belly button is a perfect innie but if he puts his finger in he can pull his belly button/hernia out to being an outie.
he has to do this every night to get all the 'fluff' out as otherwise it stays in the back and gets trapped and goes all manky

A totally random and stupid question
