I took mine out at 27 weeks,, I'm now 31 and i still check from time to time that it didn't close but it did get all stretched and red. I don't really mind though. I only took it out because i was already showing alot and you could see it through my shirt lol

It really isnt a big deal. You wont be able to wear it when they do an untra sound bc they will have to rub the thing on ur belly. I would just take it out when your belly starts getting bigger bc it will most likely start feeling uncomfortable and plus it looks really silly on a big preg belly. I took mine out at 20 weeks bc i knew i would have to when going in for ultra sound and just didnt put it back in

I took mine out around 12 weeks since It was turning red and looked like It was gettin' Infected ( I had mine for 3 years with no probs) and It would hurt If I touched It. But you really don't have to take It out at all If It's still comfy. I know my Walmart sells 'em other then that maybe some piercing places you have there?

You can take it out whenever your belly button starts to get uncomfortable, or you could keep it in. I'm 29+2 and I still have mine in and my belly button is popped out only on one side lol. I'm gonna take it out soon. It's not dangerous to the baby.

I still have mine in and I'm 22weeks. They say if it becomes uncomfortable then take it out. They also make preggo belly button rings. I've heard if you leave it in the whole pregnancy though it will look stretched afterwards and ugly. Idk, some ladies say it doesn't. I guess ill see when the time comes!
