Hey, that made me wonder ... anyone here have her belly button pierced? I am really not a piercing person (have my ears pierced but not worn earrings in years and years), but I always thought pierced belly buttons looked so cute. Is it really painful and can you change the ... er ... earring-that-doesn't-go-in-an-ear (not sure what you call them if they're not in the ear?? ).
I guess it's pretty much past the time where I could do it -- I want to have babies soon (and I'm sure will not want to be showing off my stomach after that, ha ha), plus I am not sure if it's a good idea because of future possible laparoscopic surgeries. But, I'm still curious.

I have my belly button pierced, and I have had it for about 7 years almost. I like mine.. I'm beginning to get sick of it but I still like enough that I won't take it out.
The jewlery that you wear in it is actually called a belly button ring, and can be a hoop or a barbell.. I have the barbell type.
As for the pain factor, it didn't hurt me too much. Kinda like getting stung by a yellowjacket.. but after that it was fine. And you can definitly change the jewlery.. I don't do it often but its easy if you want to do it.
As for pregancy though.. thats the one thing i'm afraid of, bc i've heard that the hole stretches out a lot when you get larger in the belly area.. not something i'm looking forward too. But oh well.. not much I can do abou tit now.

The stretching only happens on some people.
My friend was pregnant when she had hers done, and she just took the jewellery out, as it was a tad prone to get caught on her shirts (she always wore tight ones, and she got HUGE). The hole never got bigger, or smaller.
