Id remove it as it probably won’t close up now you’re so close to having baby! Mine was like this and it went sooo sore, I left it in despite it going red and the retainer bar in my bottom piercing eventually tore away from the skin as it stretched that much there was no piercing left 😂 I took my top one out after that and just put it back in once I had my son x

I took my piercing out at 20 weeks as I wasn’t bothered if it closed up or not, however mine looks the same as yours. I think it’s just where the skin is stretching a little more, as this bit of skin feels tighter than anywhere else on my bump - I’m just making sure I moisturise it each morning and evening x

Mine got soo bad I took it out (but at like twenty weeks-I was a huge beastly thing of a preggo!!) I can’t get it back in now though. Seeing a professional body mods person soon (when I get childcare lol…) to book in and get it sorted somehow.

Possibly not helpful, but mine was sore so I took it out. It wasn’t a priority for me over the discomfort I felt.

Yes take it out.. Ekk. I took mine out at 20 week and never put it back in. My son is 18 months and I can still get it back in.

Get some moisturizer on that asap, coconut oil or Vaseline

Mine did this, it got a bit sore too. It’s now a stretch mark x

Mine went like this even though I took the bar out quite early. Xx

I removed Mine around 17 weeks and it went back in fine x

I removed mine at about 30 weeks. My baby is 2 weeks old now and it’s back in

You can remove it, it won’t close. It was too painful for my to wear my jewelry and I took it out a month or so before giving birth. I would just pass my ring through it ever so often to check it. I’ve only worn it a couple times postpartum and it’s still open; 3 months.

Mine got like this around the same time in pregnancy although I never had a maternity bar as I never needed one! I ended up taking it out for the last couple of weeks and I put it back in a few days after she was born!

Ultrasound Scan and BMI

Hi everyone, really upset today. Went for my dating scan and as far as I knew from the sonographer it was difficult to get a good pic of baby today because baby didn't want to get in a good position. Read my notes afterwards and it says difficult scan due to increased BMI. I have a BMI of 39 which I'm aware is high, but I feel so sad about it and now I'm worrying how this is going to be throughout the pregnancy. Any positive info about any of you lovely people having a healthy and safe birth with a high BMI would be really appreciated right now ♥️

Dampness at 31weeks

Has anyone experienced dampness amd wet patches in underwear? Has it been your water’s slowly going or fluids leaking? If it was how long before they completely went ect?

I did think it was discharge at first. But it has no texture or odour.. just a wet patch like if you pour water 💦

C-section numbness

6 months postpartum my OB has dismissed my concerns about the right above my C-section area being numb. It is so uncomfortable to lay on my stomach now, and certain moves or touches feels like the worst nerve pain in life. Majority of my friends had a vaginal birth so relating to anyone isn't real, and it appears to have mixed feedback on Google 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️
