Stretched where belly piercing goes
I am 37 weeks on Saturday and the skin where my belly bar goes feels really stretched and painful and it feels like it is going to snap, the skin is thick so I know it won't snap but it feels so tight. I took my belly bar out when I was 20 weeks and I have had it pierced for years. Does anyone have any advice or can anyone reassure me because i am constantly putting vaseline and oil on there to keep it moisturised but it is still so uncomfortable.

Hey! ☺️ I am 15 weeks pp now. When I was pregnant I experienced the same feeling. It’s really not nice. Hopefully as your baby drops, it should feel less tight. As soon as you have had your baby, it’ll go back to how it was before pregnancy. I put my bar back in 5 days pp. I would’ve done it sooner, but we were in for a couple of days. X
I got a stretch mark right across the skin of mine but I just kept using oil on my belly every night and massaging, it won’t snap!
I think its just hormonal related. I had a belly piercing and took it out during my pregnancy. It became irritated and itchy all the freaking time (it was red and painful irritated/itchy). It subsided completely when I had my baby. It remained red for a lil but eventually went away. During pregnancy your skin becomes all weird and sensitive to things you normally wouldn't be, just hang in there!
