Belly Button Rings And Pregnancy. Posted: 08-11-04 01:35am
Hey all! I've had a belly button ring
for a little over a year now, and I love
it! I'm pregnant, and i'm wondering, is
there anyway that I can keep it in? I
really don't want to take it out.

As I have never been pregnant I am not
sure, but I imagine that you can. If you
get to the point where it hurts or is
stretching or something you can keep it
open with a very small ring or fishing
line. At least that is what I have
heard. But if you go to a place that
does piercings I am sure they can sell you
something to keep it open, but that will
not hurt you.

Don't quote me - never had it done (lol
would have to find belly button)
but have been told that if you don't take
it out, then it will pop out as the skin
becomes so taught.
But then I guess that depends on how big a
baby it is and how you are carrying.
I'd leave it a while and if you notice any
discomfort then take it out and possibly
for the final month just in case baby
comes early - last thing you want is an
in-ept doctor/nurse/midwife to catch it
and rip it out.

Kia is probably right. And yes, you
really don't need it to rip out
I had mines on but took it off in my third
month. I thought it would be best. My
cousin told me her doctor advised her to
take it off. You can always re do it
after you have the baby.

I had mine done for 4 years and when I was
about 4 months preggy, I took it out. But
the hole never closed. I put it back in
when I was in the hospital haha! But
becuz it wont close, u'l get a ll
stretchmark over ur bellybutton ring hole
cuz it stretches. But if uve had it that
long, it shouldnt close on u in ur
pregnancy. Mines back in and im so happy
I dont hafta get it repierced again!
Lol!

Use fishing line in the hole to keep it
open when you take ur barbell out...This
lady that use to do my eyebrows she was
preggy and she did that I dunno if it
works tho but try atleast!

Yeah that's a good idea. That way its
alot less likely to get ripped out
accidentally.
