Got a stupid query here; I have previously posted on the 'less than 12 weeks' thread; Has anyone been pregnant and had a belly piercing? I know I will need to take this out, as I have heard you can get horrible stretch marks from keeping it in, has anyone removed theirs and it healed fine? I am keeping mine in at the mo while my belly hasnt really changed, I just hate the idea of having a big hole left there, as I am convinced I have had it so long that it will leave a big hole and not heal!!

Also, told OH about the tradition of buying an eternity ring following the birth of his first child, I even traced the original comment (took ages not good at searching for stuff!) so we shall see what happens now!!! Kinda doubt I will get a ring though! But it would be nice!

Hi

I have a belly piercing but have had it around 7 years so it will not heal.
You can see the 2 holes but they havent changed and there not very big and look fine.

Hope they still look ok after when my belly is normal.:eek:

I kept my belly bar in with my first child and plan to with the sencond. I just buy these and leave them in: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1-X-MATERNITY-PREGNANCY-BELLY-NAVEL-BAR-CLEAR_W0QQitemZ350320779339QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Jewellery_Watches_CostumeJewellery_CA?hash=item5190bee04b
My belly looked fine when baby grew then popped out and shrank back down.

You can also leave them in for the scans too

kitkat - when you say it'll leave a big hole and not heal, are you refering to it stretching? I've had mine 12 years now and have a big 'ol tummy atm but its fine. I have no belly button atm (it hasn't popped out just flattened!) and mine has moved but looks like it will be ok. I'll let ya know what its like after Ive given birth but have frequently not had a bar in it and still been alright when have wanted to put something back in it.

EA - have just been playing with OHs ipod touch and its fab, think I may have to get one for birthday hehe. What size do you have? Oh and any sign of your Tshirt yet?

Just had nommy bbq chicken, rice and veg thanks to OH He is such a fab lil cook

Still got the pain under the ribs, only really hurts if I try take a deep breath tho!

Anyone else seen the bump to breast DVD that the MWs give out? Just watched it and it wasnt as bad as I'd thought, quite informative actually. Anyhoo, I have a spare copy if anyone wants it PM me

Are any of you ladies thinking of filming your birth? I am after the other three and feeling like i missed all the action as your pretty much out of it or at least i was i would really like to see everything in the cold light of day especially if i manage my home water birth :-)

I had my belly button pierced but just took it out with DD as it got uncomfy and I kept not getting round to getting the stretchy rubber bar thingy. Mine looks quite weird now, my belly button never popped with DD but it is shallower and hence the holes are both on the outside iyswim. It's weird, like my belly button moved! Who knows what will happen after this bubba's born, maybe it will move back

Som - No t-shirt yet. But i have another PO red card, am collecting it tomorrow so hopefully its the tee!

My Ipod is 16GB, it was £220 when i bought it in Nov 08, so would be much cheaper now Best thing about it is that it has a built in speaker, so i dont need the headphones or speakers when im in the bath
I just got a new Ipod app Its called 'Baby Diary' its something to do with tess daley. But it covers the first3 trimesters and 6 months after baby is born. And its freee

So if you have an iphone or ipod touch, download it

Thanks for your replies, maybe I will try to keep it in, and if it gets uncomfortable remove it then. I had it done as I didn't like my belly button (seems boring somehow!!) so I kinda dont wana take it out!

I have got one of those flexible bars, and find that comfy, do prefer the look of the metal ones tho but this is good for now!!

Nikkit love the pic of your little man! sooo cute!!
