We have had recent discussion about this in the 2nd tri forum as lots of girls in there have a belly ring (including me) The general consensus was - that if your skin is thining around the piercing, you may want to think about taking it out...it is such as personal decision though as everyone is different. I will be keeping mine in for as long as possible - as I won't be getting it pierced again!!

My belly button is starting to pop out and this is pushing the bar up, so it may have to come out sooner then anticipated.

Good luck with whatever you decide...
