There's no way I could've left mine in. If I can get my body back to pre-baby shape I may put it back in. I feel naked without it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iswas-your-belly-button-pierced/page/2#post-865451 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 13:03:34 +0000 littlek 865451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never got mine peirced.

Then it got infected. I got it pierced again and it got infected again. I took that as a sign. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iswas-your-belly-button-pierced/page/2#post-864918 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 09:52:25 +0000 allison 864918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ALMOST got one my senior year of high school, along with some friends. But for some reason, I changed my mind, and I'm kind of glad I did. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iswas-your-belly-button-pierced/page/2#post-864896 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 09:42:59 +0000 BananaPancakes 864896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got mine pierced when I was 15, but I took it out when I was 19 or 20. It always annoyed me. I'm 29 now, so it's been years since I took it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iswas-your-belly-button-pierced/page/2#post-864868 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 09:31:27 +0000 MrsH 864868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never did. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iswas-your-belly-button-pierced/page/2#post-864818 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 09:10:09 +0000 .twist. 864818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kjpugs: boo to bad scars! Mine isn't too bad but I was super sad it rejected! Stupid body. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iswas-your-belly-button-pierced/page/2#post-864766 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 08:47:29 +0000 TheReelDeal 864766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got mine pierced when I was 19 and then around 24 or so I took it out and never bothered to put another one back in. I think at this point it's closed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iswas-your-belly-button-pierced/page/2#post-864738 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 08:36:56 +0000 Springtime 864738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got mine done when I was really young, but it closed up after having it for 7 years when I took it out one time. That was before LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iswas-your-belly-button-pierced/page/2#post-864711 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 08:24:09 +0000 LuLu Mom 864711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got it piereced when I was 16 and took it out the day I found out I was pregnant. I had been wanting to take it out anyways, so it was the perfect reason! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iswas-your-belly-button-pierced/page/2#post-864708 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 08:22:56 +0000 GrapeCrush 864708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>never did...but that's more because no one would ever see my belly since it's never been in piercing condition haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iswas-your-belly-button-pierced/page/2#post-864691 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 08:16:20 +0000 mrs. bird 864691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never did! But I've never liked my belly enough to want to adorn it with anything, maybe if I had I'd feel differently. But now I feel like I'm too old for one anyway. I will probably re pierce my nose at some point and just wear a small stud. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iswas-your-belly-button-pierced/page/2#post-864622 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 07:46:24 +0000 LindsayInNY 864622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: I'm not sure what I'm going to do with mine... My belly button looks so naked without it! I'll probably take it out and maybe try to put it back in down the road? But, like you said, I'll probably just forget about it. That's what has happened with other piercings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iswas-your-belly-button-pierced/page/2#post-864544 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 06:59:21 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 864544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: I had a curved barbell in, and didn't have any issues until my belly button started to flatten and eventually popped out... But that wasn't until at least my third trimester. I got away with wearing the barbell until I was maybe 30-some weeks along, and then I took it out.</p> <p>Chloe's 20 months old, and I still have a visible hole. I can't tell if its fully closed and I haven't tried to put any jewelry through either. I sort of forgot about it haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iswas-your-belly-button-pierced/page/2#post-864457 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 03:56:52 +0000 pl0508 864457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got mine pierced at 16 and took it out my sophomore yr of college! I was over it ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iswas-your-belly-button-pierced/page/2#post-864454 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 03:38:46 +0000 illumina 864454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got mine pierced when I was 18. I left it in until I was in my mid-twenties and then decided I was too old for it, haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iswas-your-belly-button-pierced/page/2#post-864448 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 02:35:18 +0000 LaineysMom 864448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! I was always too scared of having an allergic reaction! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iswas-your-belly-button-pierced/page/2#post-864442 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 02:15:57 +0000 shopaholic 864442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: I could've worn mine the whole time if I wanted to. Only thing is the skin in between the holes gets real thin and stretched out. But my belly button never popped.. So if you are like me and get the ring caught on clothes a lot, I was too scared to rip the skin! I think I would've had the same worry with the pregnancy ring too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iswas-your-belly-button-pierced/page/2#post-864433 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 01:39:55 +0000 tlcbaby 864433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted "yes-with LO" even though I haven't put it back in yet. I told myself I had to earn it back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iswas-your-belly-button-pierced/page/2#post-864301 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 22:06:54 +0000 LindsayInNY 864301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: Did you have any problems wearing it that whole time? Did you need new jewelry or anything?</p> <p>I know I'm going to have to part with it at some point but it feels like a part of me now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iswas-your-belly-button-pierced/page/2#post-864299 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 22:05:59 +0000 blackbird 864299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took mine out at the end of my first trimester. No desire to put it back in right now! And I doubt it would. If my body looks smoking in 8 years, ill probably re pierce it to cover up the scar </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iswas-your-belly-button-pierced#post-864272 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 21:48:50 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 864272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: yup! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iswas-your-belly-button-pierced#post-864269 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 21:46:42 +0000 rachiecakes 864269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: haha same! I think it's because the skin in the middle is like scar tissue &amp; has less elasticity? </p> <p>I had mine done at 14 (when the Aerosmith video with Alicia Silverstone came out, lol). I took it out before I found out I was pregnant. I think I could still wear jewelry but haven't tried. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iswas-your-belly-button-pierced#post-864266 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 21:43:24 +0000 delight 864266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took mine out around week 22 of this pregnancy. I do not like the look of the hole! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iswas-your-belly-button-pierced#post-864261 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 21:38:07 +0000 LindsayInNY 864261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: You wore it throughout your pregnancy?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iswas-your-belly-button-pierced#post-864255 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 21:33:39 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 864255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got mine done at 18 and took it out a few weeks before I delivered. I never put it back in and it's probably closed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iswas-your-belly-button-pierced#post-864110 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 20:09:32 +0000 shopaholic 864110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Got mine pierced on vacation in college. Stopped wearing it really years ago, but would put in a ring for vacations and when I'd be in a swimsuit. The only place I got a stretch mark was in between the two holes. It never closes, so I'll probably still wear a ring in a bikini. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iswas-your-belly-button-pierced#post-864102 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 20:04:57 +0000 kjpugs 864102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: glad I'm not the only one who had their body reject it. Mine just kept pushing out so I have the WEIRDEST scar. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iswas-your-belly-button-pierced#post-864098 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 20:02:07 +0000 kjpugs 864098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wasn't sure if I'm in the LO or no-LO camp (preggo) but voted no LO yet since I took it out pre-pregnancy. I got it on my 18th birthday and took it out I think a year and a half later. My body rejected it so I have a nasty/weird scar, since it started to grow out. I'd regret it, but I don't show off my belly anyway, not sure why I ever got it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iswas-your-belly-button-pierced#post-864062 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 19:38:44 +0000 matador84 864062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got it done when I was 16 and took it out a few months before I got pregnant at 27 because I was doing a tough mudder and didn't want it to get ripped out. </p>
