Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having acute bacterial infection in belly button giving rise pain and pus discharge.
Due to collection of dust and mixed with perspiration in belly button and due to its structure not cleaning properly gives rise to infection.
There is another possibility of having Grannuloma.
Go for one course of antibiotic for 3-5 days.
Clean the part properly and apply antibiotic cream locally.
Do not worry about pregnancy., as it has no relation with pregnancy.
Ok and take care.
