How well do the maternity belly rings work?

Nika: How well do the maternity belly rings work?
I am about 8 weeks pregnant and i have my belly button pierced. I’ve heard of maternity belly rings but how well do they actually work? Would i just be better off taking it out and waiting until I have a flat stomach again or do they actually preserve the hole? I don’t want to have to mainly because its another 70 bucks and another six months to be careful with which is why I want to know if they are a scam or not.
This is my first and only pregnancy, I got it done when I was 18 and am now 20 I know I’m not having anymore kids cause I’m going to have a tubal ligation immediately after delivery.

I would just take it out. Your health is too important now to worry about fashion. Deal with it after the birth of your child and if you plan to have more children then I would wait till your done having children.

i would just take it out even if there is such a thing you would want to keep it out because it could stretch so much and rip out wait till it gets uncomfortable to you though the longer you wait the better the chances there will still be a hole maybe small but you can stretch it

That’s funny- I never heard of maternity belly rings. The top hole on mine is like an inch and a half from the bottom hole scar. Besides, with these stretchmarks I doubt I’ll ever be showing my belly off again. Oh yeah- there is a stretchmark going through the top hole now too. It sucks.

How long ago did you have it pierced? I had mine done at 18, and had my first child at 23. I have had it out since and it is still open. I have a ring still and every once in a while I will put it in there to freak my kids out.

i was about 9 weeks pregnant when i took my belly ring out, i only had it in for about 7 months. now im 32 weeks pregnant and the hole is still there. it looks rly gross right now because my stomach is rly stretched but i think it will go back to normal when i lose the baby weight

it worked good with my girlfriend .. im planning on doing it once my belly gets too big for this ring … u can buy em off ebay for really cheap too. and if u do decide to take it out … which i did once, i got it repierced for free. i just payd for the new jewelry i bought from the tatt shop. the holes are still there from both sides usually, if anything it mightve just grown together in the middle, thats what happened to mine.

The best thing to do is just take it out, 2 of my friends tried them and they left a mean scar on their bellies.
