Belly Rings throughout pregnancy

I have my belly button pierced and am now 17 1/2 weeks pregnant. It started to get a little irritated so I took it out. I've had it for over 2 years now. I know that you can buy pregnancy belly button rings or use clean fishing line to keep it open. But I've heard bad things about keeping your piercing as far as the hole stretching out really big or getting a nasty stretch mark there. Can anyone tell me about their experience with this?

I got the pregnancy one and I'm 34 weeks and it's still good!  I think I got in from pregnancypiercings or something like that. My OB hadn't heard of it and told me to take mine out but when I came in wearing the pregnancy one he said that was cool. It's super flexible and extra long my hole hasn't gotten stretched out or weird or anything. If you want the name of the website leave me a note on my wall and I'll look up the info as to wear I got it. It was super cheap too :)

I kept mine in until around 32 weeks with 3 pregnancies, it still looks the same as it always has.
