Ok this is a pregnancy question..
For all of you who had babies and had a navel ring, did you take it out?
I'm not sure if I want to. I have heard horror stories that is leave a big hole where your ring used to be.. I have also heard they there is a such thing as a pregnancy navel ring..
I would love some insight on this.. I have wrote this down as one of my questions for my next weeks visit...

I think my friend took hers out when she was 7 months, and had to have it repierced.

My friend had to take hers out too. She had a little scar but not a hole. She had hers re-pierced as well.

I did some digging and I found this website: www.maternitypiercings.com. Scroll down to the bottom and they have some really cute ones for pregnant bellies.

I like the one that says baby on board..lol. They just look so long.. my stomach is not all that big yet..

I had to take mine out. There is a little hole, but I will have to get it pierced again. I cant get my ring all the way through it.

Jenn218 · 12-13-2006, 11:21 AM

I still have a hole where mean was....it was taken out about 4-5 years ago and the hole is still there. I have never tried to see if it has grown back up (heard they grow up fast), but I have never had it pierced again either.

Note: I didn't take mine out because I was pregnant, just took it out and kind of forgot about it for awhile.....

I took mine out at around 7 or 8 months, then left it out for a couple of months. It never closed, though, and I just put the ring back in.

I used to work on labour ward and have seen several ladies keep theirs in for the whole pregnancy. I think its a matter of preference.

Those would do good for keeping your piercing while your pregnant.I would go with the plain ball's or the plastic one's because your piercing is going to be under stress allready from the pregnancy and something dangling off it all the time could make your piercing mad.You could also look for something called PTFE wich is totaly hypoallergenic and totaly flexiable for the growth.Your piercing will be stetched out after your give birth but when you replace the PTFE with your regular navel ring the piercing itself will begin to shrink down again over time.You could also rub vitamin e oil on it after the pregnancy to help brake down the scar tissue and help it shrink down to normal faster.www.bodyartforms.com has some great jewlery that is not made out of crap metal and the also carry PTFE in the straight barbell section(Remember it bends).I used to do body piercings for over 7 years so if anyone needs any advice on things like this feel free to ask!

I took mine out within a week after finding out I was pregnant. I am 35 weeks pregnant now and the hole is def. closed. My hole is very small and I'm kinda glad I took it out cause I think it would annoy me being there since my stomach has stretched out.

Kaluiah · 12-14-2006, 06:42 AM

I think I'm going to run with it and see how long it will last with a different ring in.. One of the PTFE ones.. I would hate to take it out because it represents a special time in my life.. but if it gets to be too uncomfortable or the doctor makes me take it out. I will. Thanks for all the info guys!! I knew I could count on you all!

Amber_lv · 12-14-2006, 08:17 AM

i kept mine in for 2 pregnancies never had a problem it didn't bother me one bit you just have to watch it to make sure it looks ok but honestly unless you have your belly button pop out (extremely) there shouldn't be a problem i had a hoop though not a bar bell i think the hoop gives it more room for your belly to grow
