The main risk is that when your belly is poking out (some belly buttons turn right out!!!)you might catch it and rip it out (ouch) or that the skin may become so taught it will burst out of its own accord.
If you are comfortable leave it, for now. However I would really recommend taking it out by the time you are due - the last thing you want when giving birth is some klutz leaning over and ripping your belly open (also if you need surgery all jewellery has to be removed)

Yeah i'd take it out. I'm 6 months and the skin on my belly is so tight that if I had one, it would be uncomfortable.

Take it out it starts to stretch and really hurts. I have a scar from where mine was from waiting too long. Also when I got my ultra sound the tech ran it over and boy did it hurt.

I took mine off too but sometimes I would poke to see if it's still open but you could always repierce it.
Or if you had it for years then it should go back in with no problem.
