Belly button rings have been on the scene since the early 90s when supermodels began to use them as a must have accessory. Crop top shirts and midriff bearing bathing suits contributed to the fad and cemented the navel ring as a popular piece of body jewelry.

The original group of young women who started this fashion trend are approaching an age where pregnancy is a real possibility. No longer are they in their teens and twenties, but are now adults. One thing they haven’t outgrown, however, is their sexy belly button rings.

Preparing to be a first-time mother doesn’t mean a woman has to give up her favorite body jewelry. There’s no longer any reason that an expectant mother should have to remove her belly ring.  Belly button rings used to only be available with metal materials which are tough enough to make rapid growth uncomfortable. The firm materials didn’t allow for any stretching or adjustment and could easily cause discomfort, tearing and other painful side effects to the mother’s skin.

But there’s been a revolution! Mothers are so willing to make sacrifices for their children, but this doesn’t have to be one of them! Moms can wear pregnancy belly button rings that will accommodate their bodies during pregnancy.

Pregnancy belly button rings are not all identical; usually they are made from plastic however. They can either be the traditional length, just plastic, or they can be more flexible and giving. A special sterile wire called PTFE that is nickel free and easily sterilized. Most often, retailers sell this wire in a 2” to 2 ½” lengths with two balls that screw on to either end. The beauty of this product is that it is fully adjustable! All a person has to do is cut the wire at an angle to the desired length and screw on the balls.

The PTFE wire self threads so balls will automatically attach to the wire. There is a huge array of this special type of belly button ring and every mother-to-be should be able to find the perfect fit. Pregnancy belly button rings are available with transparent UV, steel and titanium balls. Some even feature dangling parts that say things like “It’s a Boy” (or girl) or have baby decorations.

Pregnancy is an exciting time in a mother’s life and it’s the beginning of a new lifestyle. It doesn’t have to force a woman to give up a piece of body jewelry she’s had for much of her life, though. Pregnancy belly button rings aren’t especially expensive and they correspond with the prices of belly button rings of similar style and quality.
