Pregnancy belly bars

[Dorisday13]

I need a flexi bar, but straight or curved? My belly button is still 'inny' at 30weeks do not sure whether it will pop out at all!

What did everyone else do?

if it helps to know my never got to be an outy - flatty was as far as it went, so not everyone goes outy. But I didn't have the tummy decor so can't help there sorry.

I'm 35 weeks and still have my ring in. No outy as yet, although its pretty flat. I'm just keeping mine in until it starts to hurt/get sore.

Hiya,

I went here: www.bodyjewelleryshop.com/

And brought one of these: www.bodyjewelleryshop.com/online_store/bioplast-circular-barbell-stem-1-6mm1.cfm

With a few pretty glittery balls to stick on the end :)

Hi I'm 39 weeks tomorrow and still have an innie plus I'm still wearing my belly bar. It's a flexi pregnancy one, I heard a lot of risks to using metal bars including them having to be cut out if your tummy gets too big plus plastic bars can stay in during a c section. I just got a curved banana bar from a local shop for about a tenner I think? It's definitely worth it I didn't want to risk having to remove it and it healing up (which is apparently a risk no matter how old the piercing is) hope that helps

Thanks ladies, I'm off shopping :-)

I changed to a curved flexi bar at about 20 weeks and then a super-long straight felxi bar at 34 weeks-ish.

By belly button has gone completely flat, not popped out. Piercing is very stretched though. I deffo needed a super-long bar.

I am so jealous of you all, still having nice innies I'm 33 weeks and my belly button has disappeared almost completely - I'm left with a big red splodge and two holes about an inch above where it should be!

I am 31 weeks and have a totally flat and smooth button - almost invisible - I look a little like I was grown in a glass dish, or an alien!

My belly button stayed inny for the whole of my pregnancy. I was reprimanded when I went for my 20 week scan as the metal bars can apparently damage the scanning machines so I brought a plastic one off amazon for a few pounds. I will make sure I have the plastic one in this time when I have all my scans (I'm only 6+6 weeks now).

Ok next question for the pierced ladies..... Will it go back to the way it was before after all this stretching?!?? I really hope so!!

It went 90% back. The only difference was a little bit of crinkling of the skin between the two holes.

How long has your piercing been done? Probably depends on your skin but I can take mine out and leave it for months. Doesn't close up. My skin over my piercing is stretched now tho. Not too bad but it's not the same.

I've had mine done about 18 years. Its slowly growing out, only on a little bit of skin now, although still looks ok i reckon.

Just taken and uploaded a pic to my profile on here. I'm 35 weeks.

Mine has been there 10 years and I love it still, going to go for a straight ptfe bar i think and see how I get on
