To keep or not?

Question

I got my belly button pierced 8 years and 25lbs lighter ago. I’ve then put on some weight which makes me very insecure, but am now also TTC. Should I keep it, or let it close up and move on?
Then vs now

Answer

I think you should keep it. It looks cute w your tattoos and you look to have a body for it 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

It’s cute but it’s up to you. I took both of mine out a few months ago.  I’ve had them 14 years. Just got tired of them lol

Answer

I am 32 weeks pregnant and I regret not taking mine out I have such an ugly scar above my belly button !

Answer

I only take mine out when I'm too pregnant for it to be comfortable anymore. I'd keep it but that's cause I just love belly rings.

Answer

I say keep it, but only because I kept mines. I got it done at 16, and I'm now 30.. My stomach looks wired without it

Answer

My biggest regret was getting the damn thing pierced, and my second biggest regret was not taking it out when as soon as  I got pregnant 😭 
This always goes 50/50 half of the time it looks great nothing to worry about and then the other half are left with mass destruction of sex appeal... 
Mine? Awful. I developed a giant stretch mark right over my belly button piercing, it bled - I had already taken it out weeks ago by this point, it got infected from trying to heal but the skin kept pulling apart 🤦🏻‍♀️ now it’s like a brown / red/ purple color and super splotchy and just down right looks awful. 
I would say if you are especially prone to stretch marks I would highly recommend taking it now, and using some oil on it to help it stretch the skin. I took my belly ring out wayyyy before I got a belly bump- around 10 weeks when I decided I no longer wanted it in. It started bleeding around 16W and I didn’t even start showing until recently at almost 30W
