My poor belly button is so messed up from having it pierced. :( the skin where the hole was is all stretched and thin. It looks like i have two belly buttons. I took it out when i found out i was prego almost 8 years ago. Dr said it needs plastic surgery to look normal again.

I would go with a pregnancy ring as early as possible in case of stretch marks. I took mine out like three yrs ago cuz i ripped my ring off twice lol nw even after three years my hole is still open (not much of a hole left after ripping it off though) but i have a star shaped stretch mark around it. Ill probably never be able ymto wear a ring again bcuz it didnt heal properly unless i get the bottom pierced

I'm 29weeks and still have mine in. You don't have to take it out unless it uncomfortable for you to wear.

Thanks ladies! And paigemaree, are maternity rings really long? It seems like I've seen them before and they looked huge!

I took mine out around 14 weeks because it started getting uncomfortable with my stretching belly. I think the sooner you take/change it out, the better. I've heard it gets harder to take out, the bigger you get
