Can you tell baby's gender from the belly button?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

There's a common folk belief that you can tell baby's gender from the belly button — for example, "if belly button sticks out, it's a boy; if it's inside, it's a girl." However, this has no scientific or medical basis. The appearance of the belly button is related to how the umbilical cord was cut, how it healed, and your baby's abdominal wall structure — not baby's gender. Gender is clearly visible on an ultrasound between weeks 16-20 of pregnancy or at birth. These kinds of guesses are fun cultural curiosities, but they're not reliable.
