Just curious for you ladies who have their belly buttons pierced or could just help. I have mine pierced and I usually pre -pregnancy wear a big dangly ring. Now that im starting to get a little bigger, its beginning to hurt, and I really don't want it to stretch while im wearing the belly button ring and its just un comfortable. Have you girls taken yours out ? OR I know they make those clear bars that bend a lot easier that some people use I wasn't sure which route you went or if you just took it out all together . Thanks advice appreciated bc its starting to drive me crazy !!

I had a laproscopy for an ectopic back in Feb. One of the incisions was in my belly button and unfortunately due to a bad reaction to the medical glue that they close with (which is in the process of being recalled) I have a pretty bad leftover mark/scare inside my belly button. I actually went to see a wound specialist to figure out what was going on with it, as it took until about May/June to heal.
I am worried that it may stretch and even open.
I already talked to my OB about it and she basically said, if it opens we will deal with it. She didn't seem too concerned.
Anyone else experience any tearing from scarring?

I think it's a wait and see but just know you have someone here on the board that truly knows what your going through and the additional worries it bring. Hugs*
@missfunball Although the experience sucked and I wouldn't wish it on my enemies, glad I have someone to commiserate with. My surgery was just before yours on the 8th. Keep in touch if anything develops.

Not belly related BUT I had a breast reduction in 2011 and certain parts didn't want to heal ( I keloid) when my boobs got bigger with this pregnancy they slightly reopened but closed back up pretty easy. Hopefully yours won't open but if it does maybe since it healed once it would heal faster this time? Just throwing it out there

I've had mine since I was 16 so it's so weird to not see it pierced anymore!!!

That was 5years ago now, I did have it re-pierced so as soon as I found out I was pregnant with this baby I took it out even before my belly swelled & bought some oil to rub on.
I'm at 19w now & so far there's no signs of new stretch marks so I have my fingers, toes, & everything crossed I've cracked it this time lol!! Here's hoping......
