Maternity Belly Button Tings

LadyM812 · Mar 30th, 2012, 20:42 PM

I just put my maternity belly button ring in; my friend said that it's better to do it early, before your belly button get's too shallow/different.

It weirds me out that the belly button ring is so long. I understand why it's so bendy, but does anyone know why it's so long? It's makes me wonder what's going to happen to my belly button later that requires such a long bar.

I've attached a pic, since it looks funny to me. Does anyone else have a maternity belly button ring?

I've never seen one like that but I bet it's that long so your belly can stretch around it, and by the time your bump is full size it will probably look like a regular ring.
I ended up just taking my ring out and I'll re-pierce later if needed.

i just took mine out with my first pregnancy as well. i didnt bother putting another in until a little while after i gave birth to my son. it never closed over. i'll probably do the same thing with this pregnancy.

im not sure why its so long either. all the ones ive seen havent been that long

Hey. I also ordered those and found them to be pretty long. It actually was a tad uncomfortable. So I cut a piece of the flexible part and now it's so much better and looks a lot better too.

you can order a shorter flexible pregnancy belly ring too! That's what I'm wearing. My belly button is already an outie now so it sits diagonal but for now it's still super comfortable! I have a super long one like yours too but haven't worn it and probably won't until way later!

I have one that is that long too. But no idea why it is so big. I think they are designed so they can be cut down to any required length.

You have to cut them down when there like that xx

I wore my bellybar for a while and then had to take it out. Have a weird harry potter stretch mark above it but it is still open. Will only need to have it reinserted with a needle but most piercers do it at a reduced rate if you had to take it out due to pregnancy. Hehe.
