Just curious--I'm almost 20 weeks and had always planned on taking out my naval piercing when I got pregnant, but now that I'm pregnant I want to keep it :) I also can't get the ball to detach from the hoop-I've had two surgeries where I had to keep it on because it just won't come apart. I got it pierced at 18 and I'm 34 now--I thought I would want to get rid of it but I still like it, haha. I also think it will be good motivation to get back in shape after. So what did you other pregnant ladies do? Will the hole get stretched out if I leave it in? Should I just go and get the hoop cut off at a tattoo parlor and let the dream die? 😂 I also know they make rubber maternity belly rings-should I get rid of mine and replace it with that? Thanks for any advice!
