Bellybutton Ringed Mama?

LilnNimoy · June 2014

I have had mine done for like 10 years. I am debating about if I should keep it or not... Anyone else wrestling with this decision?

I took mine out cause it started getting tight and now i have a stretch mark through it from my first pregnancy. Its not pretty lol

I took mine out before I got pregnant for other reasons but hate the little hole above my belly button now haha. If you want to keep it you can buy pregnancy belly rings that grow with your belly. You won't be able to keep the normal ones in though

I still have mine in but am only at about 14 weeks...thought about taking it out but worried about seeing that hole from the ring :-/

LilnNimoy · June 2014

Right...If I decide to keep it, I'm going to need to get one of those incredibly unattractive pregnancy rings and soon!

With DD I kept mine in the entire time. It was fine. But then, my belly button never "popped", so that could be the difference. With this one I'll probably order one of those flexible ones. Not like I'll be wearing a bathing suit by the time it really matters, up here, so it doesn't matter what it looks like!

Mine was pierced but I took it out about a year ago. The hole is still there and it's not attractive either. I have thought about getting a flexible one just to hide the hole. Haha!

I was thinking about getting those flexible pregnancy ones. I really want to keep the piercing!

I've got mine in still - at 14 weeks. I haven't decided whether to just leave it out or order a stretchy one. Where do you even order that anyway?

Ditto!

I took mine out before I got pregnant with my first, I have a weird scar now where the hole is above my belly button.

I took mine out with my first 4 years ago. I felt like I was getting too old for it anyway and I'd feel silly putting it back in at this point.

brittandjp · June 2014

I took mine out around this time when I was pregnant with DD. It was SO weird at first (I'd had mine for almost 12 years!) and I hate the little hole, but I'm use to it now. I didn't want to put it back in after I had her. I felt like it was time to leave a part of my younger years behind and grow into my new role as Mommy.

I took mine out long before my first pregnancy. I still have the holes there and when I was huge it looked less than lovely. I wish I had never gotten it when I was younger

They have a plastic belly ring ment for pregnancy. I used it on my last pregnancy. Its great. No having to get it redone. Bends with your belly. You can go to any tattoo shop and get one

I took mine out during my second tri with my older son. I ended up with a lovely lightning bolt shaped stretch mark right over the hole. Totally not attractive.

My girlfriend was able to keep her regular barbell thingy in for all three of her pregnancies with no problems. Maybe just see how it goes.

I forget exactly when I switched to the flexible one with my first, but I think the general rule is when it becomes uncomfortable. I'm 15 weeks now and will probably need a flex one soon. I got mine from a website, I think it was called Body Candy.

Yeah, I took mine out to when I found out I was pregnant. I'm gonna look into these pregnancy rings, though. Hubby liked when I had it in and am hoping it wont look ridic after baby is born.

FWIW, mine still looks awesome and I'm glad I kept it in.

blessdtxas · June 2014

I took mine out years ago but have the hole and a huge ball of scar tissue. It's seriously so gross!

Annya26 · June 2014

I took mine out early this time. Last time I left it in too long and it started to slowly tear out. Now the piercing isn't as deep. It didn't grow over or anything last time so I assume I can just put it back in post baby again if I decide I still want it.
