Is it normal to be afraid of bellybuttons?

I am afraid of bellybuttons, specifically the thought of mine opening up or ripping or something. The fact that its "just a scar" doesn't seem to make me feel any better, either, because then I think about what it used to be; a tube attached to someone else that fed me once upon a time. Its not like just seeing one is enough to make me feel sick, though; I have to actually think about or register that I've seen one that it starts to make me feel uncomfortable. I've been afraid of them as far as I can remember, and have mentioned it to a therapist, and they said it might have to do with some issues I have with my mother and the thought of birth in general. I've mentioned it to friends, and they said its okay to be afraid of them, especially when given my reasoning, but... is it?

    Nope, sorry mate, not normal. It could also being annoying at the beach or in the locker room or something, but I'm not sure what can be done.

    When I was a kid I thought it was called a "tv button" it males no sense now, but for years I called it a tv button.

    im scared too, some times I remove a little junk from it, my dad used to pull his hair from it, i think it connected to my stomach or intestines, and feel like it will release all the stuff I ate,

    had a night mare once.

    I mean since everyone has it, it's like being terrified of your own hair, fingernails etc.
