(former and current) belly/navel ring ladies

I remember there being some discussion of this while we were all still pregnant and debating when/if to take piercings out - so I'm just wondering what came of their navel rings for everybody?  Do you still have yours?  Did it close completely?  Is it all funky looking now?

    Mine is funky looking.  The top hole kind of got stretched out during pregnancy and hasn't returned to normal, so it's like I need a bigger piece of jewelry to fit it correctly.

    That being said, I am still wearing mine.  My piercing never closed up during pregnancy, so I put it back in.  I kind of feel like I'm clinging to the past with it though ...

    I took mine out, and it was a good thing.  I got so big that it would have busted through the skin.  I think it healed over.  I haven't tried to stick anything in it, but maybe I should try.  It doesn't look too weird...now.  It did look weird when I was pregnant.

    I had 4 :) (top, bottom, side, side). I took them out when they started to stretch out and haven't put them back in.  I'm pretty much over it.  You can still tell exactly where they were and if I wanted to put them back in, I'm sure I could - I had them in for almost 10 years so the holes probably won't ever close!

    +1 I've got a small ball on the top of my piercing and I think I need to put a bigger one to even it out

    I pulled mine out because it got really uncomfy while pregnant, I haven't put it back in. I haven't really had the desire to. It looks pretty odd these days, but better than while pregnant. I think I outgrew the desire to have it.

    I only had my belly button ring in for like 2 years about seven years ago. Pre-pregnancy, I had a very small scar from it. During and after pregnancy, it stretched out and is much more noticeable. It is the only stretch mark I got from being pregnant.

    I had one for 10 years before I had DS1 - it looks strange and I don't wear anything in it, but I could. Also over it. :)

    I had mine for 11years. I took it out around 20 weeks gestation and haven't put it back in. I'm over it. Plus I don't think a belly ring goes with my muffin top.

    I left mine in. It doesn't look too bad but of course my whole stomach doesn't look the same with the extra skin! When I because pregnant with my oldest my mom told me I wouldn't want to leave it it, which I took as a challenge so I left it in lol. I'm not ready to let go of it yet.

    Put my ring back in about 4 weeks post-partum, it now looks exactly like it did before. The obvious hole/dent was bothering me when I had the jewelry out.
