belly button pirecing

[Danielle]

hey im 11 weeks pregnant and i have my belly button pireced i have one of those special bendy ones ready for when i have to change it, whens the best time to change it, i have my scan on friday will i have to take it out when i have that done or can i leave it in?

They told me to take the metal one out at my scans, I have two though so it might have been that they would just get in the way? Im not sure why. Probably best to do it to be on the safe side.

I got some plastic bendy ones that I started putting in from about 24 weeks... just when my metal ones were getting uncomfortable. I was worried about the skin stretching and the holes tearing.

Have you tried your plastic ones yet? I got some off ebay but they were so painful and uncomfortable I just haven't bothered with them. Just now and then put them in for a few hours to make sure the piercings don't heal.

They probably will ask you to take it out just so it doesnt get in the way when they scan you. I put my plastic maternity one in at about 20 weeks as thats when my bump started getting quite big and it was really uncomfortable with the metal one.

Good luck at your scan!

Heyaaa am 29 weeks + im still wearin my metal belly bar, i dnt see the problem really haha

I put my plastic one in at about 28 weeks

I kept my metal one in as long as I could. I was well past 20 weeks when I removed it. At my 20 week scan I was told if baby was high up I might have to take it out but he wasn't.

I haven't actually put a bendy one in because my skin is so stretched there that I think it would just make it worse. Besides mine is well healed and I check every now and then to see if there is still a hole which there is. If it's too tight I may just get it done again.

i just took mine out when i was pregnant i couldnt be bottered wit it no more lol

I only had to remove mine when I went in for a scan. I had it in right up until 24 weeks and had no problems with it throughout my pregnancy. My best friend managed to keep hers in right up until birth!!!
But I suppose you can remove it whenever it starts to feel uncomfortable. There really is no "right" time to remove it. Just whenever you feel like it starts to bother you.

I kept my metal bar in for my entire pregnancy.. even during scans & while I gave birth.

 

[ColtonsMom]

I never had to remove mine at my scans.. ? I removed mine early because I started to show early and my body started to reject it/get infected because of my hormones.. it even started pussing and was all red! eww! lol
But it just depends on when you are ready..

I still have mine at 16 weeks...I won't be getting it out until third trimester...

 

[anita665]

Mine did start to get uncomfortable after a while. The skin over the bar was getting really tight and my belly button popped out so it was pushed up. That was why I took it out in the end. I guess I was probably about 25 or 26 weeks.

 

[mummy&mase]

When my belly button popped out i took mine out and now its healed and i have a red scar there but i might think about getting it redone.

I took mine out at about 24 weeks when my tummy really started growing. My OH was seriously on my case. Wish I had known about the plastic ones! I've had mine now for 8 years so I feel naked without it.

If it has closed up, I'll use that as an incentive to get my stomach back to normal (well as normal as possible). No point getting it pierced again if I'm too shy to show my stomach in the bedroom or if I go swimming in public.

i have just got a pregnancy belly bar on friday but i wished i had of changed mine earlier as i have a red mark under the top ball due to the other belly bar rubbing and its a bit sorexxx

 

[missjess]

I kept mine throughout my whole pregnancy, never took it off and never been asked to!

i took mine out for around 8 months once and it went back in - was a bit sore though! still got it in at the mo, cant decide to take it out or not- some reckon its best too, some say not....
