Yet another belly ring question

[Becca19]

I'm pretty sure something similar is on here but there are to many posts to go through to find it. But anyway I just recently put in a maternity belly bar because i went on vacation and my belly ring all of a sudden got really sore its all red right on top of the skin and quiet painful and feels stretched i dont know why, I don't knwo if its infected or just stretching?? Does anyone know how long you can keep a belly bar out without it closing over?

i took mine out at about 24 weeks and was able to put in back in after i had her. how long have you had it pierced?

 

[Becca19]

I've had it pierced for about 5 years

i had mine for about 2 years and it didnt close. you should be fine! although mine looks horrible fromthe stretchmarks now!

 

[Becca19]

did yours all of a sudden get red and painful before you took it out? I have no idea why it did it was fine one day and painful the next. I dont have any stretch marks yet

 

[Kailynnsmommy]

Its just red because of stretching, bathe it in salt water twice a day and it should ease up a bit. You can leave the bar in or take it out, if youve had it done 5 years it wont heal up, Im a piercer xxx

its stretching hun... ive taken mine out and left it out... the top hole is red and stretched its just what happens to scar tissue when it stretched it should fade back to normal after babys born... i dont wreckon ill getmy bar back in tho

I took out my belly ring when I got pregnant. Now the entire hole is stretched and red from the skin stretching the hole out so much. It looks terrible and is probably gonna scar. Just take out the ring and keep washing it you probably just irritated it by putting in the ring. It depends on how long you've had it if it will close or not but you can always get it re-pierced.

I took mine out at about 12 weeks and now iv had the baby my hole has closed up..i had mine pierced for about 6 years x

Huh, I've had mines done for six years now and I've had it out for about a month or two now and it has healed. I don't mind as I didn't really want to wear a belly bar anymore but it's odd that mines has healed when people have said if you've had it for 5 years it won't heal. Oh well, maybe my piercing is just weird xx

I've had mine pierced for 7 years. Tooke it out at about 16 weeks I think & started putting it through once a week, can't do that anynore though!
It looks horrible now, got little stretchmarks near the hole.
I doubt it will go back in after but I'm not too fussed.
