i had my belly ring with my second pregnancy, my doctor said whatever i wanted it wasnt going to hurt.. they do make the flexible ones for the preggo's , thats what i did.. :)

I didn't have my belly button pierced when i had my daughter and i don't now but my sister has with all 3 of her kids and she wore the plastic flex rings for pregnancy. the only thing her doctor said was to take it out if her belly button started to pop out and only then because it will cause the hole to stretch and could cause scar tissue that would make it difficult to wear a normal belly ring after pregnancy. its perfectly safe to have your belly button pierced while pregnant and even if you were concerned about it you could always take it out after your get your BFP because it only takes about a month for it to fully heal and it can take anywhere from 4-6 month for your belly to stretch enough that it would bother with the piercing site anyway.

Thank you ladies for your responses. Baby Dust!!

I do not have a belly ring, but I am 8 months pregnant. My belly isn't that big, but I would definitely have taken a ring out if I had one. My belly button seems to change every week and I would be paranoid about the holes stretching out. I would just put it back in/get it re-pierced after baby. GL!

When my sister was pregnant with my nephew, she didn't take hers out till she was like 8 months along. And then after she gave birth, it was still open! So, she just popped it back in. I'm hoping that happens with mine.
