Ftm and iv had the pregnancy plastic belly ring in for a month now but all of a sudden past 2 days top of belly button…

@courtney_boyea, I tried salt water last night and there is no difference so ill try it and if its not better by monday ill ask my doc on tuesday!!

it could just be from the stretching. salt water would help

@courtney_boyea, Oh wow. ya ill for sure be cateful. iv been checking it and i dont see anything wrong with ir just top is irritated so not sure if its from stretching or what. i have my doc appt on the 14th and im guna ask then to make sure everything is ok with it. its not hot or swollen so at this point idk what to think. its red but that's all its weird.

be careful with the belly button ring. my first pregnancy I took mine out. this pregnancy I thought it was fully closed. after almost 3 years of nothing in It I thought that was a good assumption. but I was wrong and it started to get really infected and was like super red and hot and swollen. well I went in to the doctors and there was this tiny worm inside of me! we have no clue how it happened or how long it was jn there for but because my stomach was getting bigger and bigger and stretching it gave the worm no room and made it infected. so just be careful

@camdensmama, ya iv had mine done since i was 15 and i will be 21 in october so there no way its infected just the top hurts and thats where it mostly red. the rest kinda looks red from me moving skin to look at inside and its fine thats why im thinking its just from skin stretching

I took mine out a few weeks ago mine is red like that but doesn't hurt at all and there is no way it's infected. I've had mine done for over 6 almost 7 years!

@phasion, Ok ill do the saline and saltwater. Just want it to not be so sore and i feel its just from it stretching cause there no infection cause iv looked so idk. Ill take it out!

take it out and spray saline on it ...if you had your piercing long it will not close because its all dead tissue now.

Mine hasn't closed yet and I took it out months ago

Honestly I've had my belly button pierced for 6 years, I took it out once I found out I was pregnant. Mine closed up within a couple days

No problem! :) @landon1002

Ok ill give the water a try if not then baby is b4 me so ill take it out!! thank you! @raelynnsmommy

Yes I would say so.. mine closed up in a matter of a week or so!

@raelynnsmommy, Im thinking of taking mine out completely. will it close up though? and ill try the seasalt water!!

If it doesn't seem to be any sort of infection I would assume it's from your belly stretching, which I don't think there is much you can do about that other than taking the ring out :/

Try cleaning it with warm seasalt water. Personally I took mine out because I didn't want it to stretch and get irritated. Hopefully yours gets better!

And iv taken bar out for 2 days and its not infected cause no pus or anything... Can it be just skin stretching?
