How long have other mumma's had their belly rings left in during pregnancy? Did you keep it full term and did you have any complications?
I ordered a pregnancy belly bar online but the material irritated me so I went back to my original ring.
I'm six months pregnant, and my bump is only tiny. I didn't really show until about a month ago.
My skin isn't stretching much around the ring, but it's starting to get it in the way.
I've caught it on a few things - seat belt, cupboard door, groceries I've been holding that have slipped. Usually it doesn't hurt, but I recently caught it on a door and it tore a bit. It's mostly healed, but I'm worried it'll happen again and it'll end up infected.
It's not really much of a problem now, but I don't want it to be. I'd rather not give up the piercing, but it seems to be an option right now!
Advice and personal stories will be greatly considered. I'm thinking of removing the ring but I'd love alternatives if you mothers have any!
Please and thank you!

With my second I kept my normal bars in the whole pregnancy, my third I had to take them out. I did gain some extra stretch marks from my top one and neither sat as they would have before but only by a couple of mm. My third I could feel they needed to come out so that's what I did. I did have two (top and bottom) and now trying to gain the courage to get them redone lol. You will know if it needs to come out
