hi i have had my navel bar if for two pregnancies i just put a flexible bar in and no problem. I started to sell them when i realized how fab they were hehe
I've swapped more belly bar over to a maternity one and have had no problems (only 22 weeks though) I've only been asked to take it out for the 20 week ultrasound. I'm just going to see how far I can take it.
I agree - my belly just looks weird to me without it now!
I kept my normal belly bar in with my first pregnancy and it got a bit red and swollen towards the end. But with this bub i got one of the pregnancy bars off ebay (cost me $20, but u can get cheaper) and so far so good.
You cut them down to size, so u can have the bar whatever size you like mine is about 2cm long and hardly ever catches.
I took mine out with DD#1 and havent put it back in althought the hole looks as though you could still poke one through, im not game enough, it might hurt, lol
Mine did stretch and it was the only place on my tummy i got stretch marks. Didnt look that bad though and i had no prob showing off my belly (once i was thin again), i have a couple of stretch marks on my hips too but i figure most ppl dont care cause they can see you have a kid and most ppl get them.
I didnt take mine out at all...
i started to knock it on things so i would wear things that were not going to rub on it.
i guess i figured i would know when to take it out... that point never arrived, one thing i did notice was that the hole became larger (i didnt get an outy belly button - more it all stretched so that it was flat) but looks the same as pre pg now
