it may rip the skin with any belly bar in, I would take it out to be on the safe side. My skin was that thin I could see the bar through my skin it was nasty lol xx

@sophie94x, I put weight on a few years ago which pushed my bar forward and made the skin thin . I think if I switch to a maternity bar it may end up ripping the skin as I get bigger 😕 xx

I'm nearly 33 weeks and I still wear a maternity belly bar, midwife has told me to keep it in until I feel uncomfortable and it will need to come out during labour xx

I took mine out for the duration luckily it didn't close over x

I had maternity bars in but my stomach was never the same again, it got really stretched out and the skin that holds the bar got thin and would have fell out so now I don't wear one x

@tish94, I'm not sure, I just took mines out and got left with a really nice scar 😩 but everyone else seems to think they are great x

I had to take it out. My belly button is out now and the skin near piercing stretched and became red...

@winterbaby95, my belly button is making its way out I think 🙊I've had it pierced for 10 years now I don't think I want it to heal up xx

Take it out or get a flexible one. But I suggest taking it out really and let it heal (if it will) If you get stretch marks...that'll be the first area to stretch. I dont have my belly button pierced...but I have stretch marks above and below my belly button 😂 I ended up having an outy during pregnancy :) xx

Are the maternity bars any good ? x

Take it out, if you don't want to get rid of it, you can get maternity belly bars you can wear with your bump @tish94 c
