Belly button ring gone =(

maui06 · July 2010

I actually cried today when I took out my belly button ring. Belly is growing and it just needed to go. I hadn't removed it for almost 10 years and the memories of my teenage rebellious stage came rushing back. I love this new chapter in my life and I feel pathetic for crying but I'm still going to miss it Sad

. At least it gave DH a nice chuckle!

I haven't taken mine out yet (and I have 4, lol) but I'm not really sure how I'm going to feel when I do. I've had the top for about 10 yrs and I got the other ones within a year and a half. I have 17 piercings though and these are the only ones going and the ones I'd miss the least so I think I'll be ok. They don't look as good as they did when I was younger and skinnier Smile

I feel your pain. I know I am going to have to either take mine out or get one of the flexible preggie ones. I don't know what I am going to do but need to make a decision here soon, but I've had it since I was 17 and kinda don't want to let it go yet.....

I am dreading the day that I have to take mine out! Same thing, I've had it for about 9 years. It's become a part of me & I will probably resist taking it out until about the end of first tri.

They make cute flexible ones that I hear work well, I personally dont have a belly piercing, but if you want to keep it open, maybe you can look into the pregnancy ones?

Good news is you can wait a little longer...my doc said it probably wouldn't have to come out until around 20weeks.

Seen these but they just don't look very pretty on a big pregnant belly IMHO. I'd rather just see it as letting go of a piece of the past & one day....after baby comes & mommy gets her P90X body, then maybe I'll get it pierced again.

I didn't take mine out until around 20 weeks. I would still push the ring through once a day to make sure the hole didn't close. I put it back in once I was released from the hospital.

Oh this is brilliant! Seriously, something so simple & I would have never thought of it.

Learking over here but I left mine in during my whole pregnancy my midwife just told me to make sure I had a plastic one in . It was fine and im glad I kept it.

I took mine out last time in the 1st trimester. Since I had it pierced for so long it didn't close at all! I haven't worn one in months and I tried to put it in the other day and still not closed. Old piercings seem to stay open even for long periods of time at least mine do.

there are pregnancy rings you can put in to keep it.

Lurking from third tri here, but I actually just took mine out the other day. I bought a pregnancy one about 2 months ago and didn't need to put it in until about 4 weeks ago (my Dr. advised it). I JUST had to take out the pregnancy one out yesterday because it's starting to get caught on maternity clothes and it was getting irritated, however I do put it through my belly button twice a day because like you I have had mine for 10 years and an not ready to part with it. If I have a nice flat belly after baby sans tons of stretch marks and feel like showing my belly again I will put it back in, if not then oh well, I've moved on from that chapter in my life!
