Where does the umbilical cord connect to when someone has no belly button?

Some people have no belly button when they are born, so where does the umbilical cord connect to for nutrition, etc while the baby is in the womb? Thanks in advance

1. No one has a belly button when they are born. the belly button is what is left of the dried out umbilical cord.
2. The only people I ever heard of without a belly button were Adam and Eve.
3. The belly button is a scar left behind from where the umbilical cord attached,everyone is born with one but in some cases it might heal over and not be apparent/very faint,which might give the illusion of a non-exhistant belly button.
4. EVERYBODY HAS A BELLY BUTTON. THE ONLY REASON ONE WOULD NOT HAVE ONE IS BECAUSE IT WAS SURGICALLY REMOVED. THERE IS NO WAY UNLESS YOU WERE MADE IN A JAR THAT YOU COULD NOT HAVE A BELLY BUTTON.
5. Everybody has a bellybutton however, as in my case, some babies need blood transfusions after birth(jaundice, etc) and the best place is through the belly button. It has to be sewn up after the transfusion and cannot form into a normal bellybutton.
6. We all have the remnants of the umbilicus. The "belly button" is that remnant. Where did you ever get the idea people are born without one?
7. Well, all humans have an umbilical cord. It's natural place of attachment is the lower abdomen. Therefore, we all are born with a naval. Post birth this naval maybe removed or changed. Some surgeries change the navel. All people are born with a belly button/naval.
8. everyone has a belly so don't worry. but people with no bellys aren't people they are clowns were people double someone and they aren't born.
9. I dont know. Honest. I didnt believe it was true til my son came home today and said a girl at his nursery hasnt got a bellybutton. i said it must be under her jeans, he said, no, she just hasnt got one. so a google search brought this up. no answers to the question though!! I believe the idea of ashley c.
