Navel piercing and pregnancy - should I take the sucker out????

Hey ladies,

A bit of a vain question but let’s not pretend our self esteem doesn’t effect us all lol

Have you been pregnant with a belly bar? I’m looking for experiences from other women or maybe even stories from midwives as this is my first...

I have a belly ring and I love it and don’t want to part with it. But I’ve heard it will give you a few nasty stretch marks around your navel if you don’t remove it, or that it will stretch the hole out like mad. I’ve even heard it can rip itself/push itself out entirely!

What are your experiences?
