Navel piercings are considered surface piercings, and believe it or not, they are hard to heal. I have seen success stories with navel piercings, and then some Horror stories. Because of their location, they are very prone to infection and rejection. The only long term effect would be the scarring that can possibly form. Everytime it gets infected, more scar tissue is required to fix the problem, that is why you want to keep your navel piercing from getting infected the best that you can. Another factor that can cause scarring -- rejection. Rejection is very nasty, painful, and will cause significant scarring. To prevent things like this from happening, simply take care of the piercing like you properly should. Dont overclean, dont overuse salt water, dont play with it, dont touch it with dirty hands, etc. Good luck!

Does your belly button get closed when your pregnant?
When you get pregnant, most care providers recommend removing your belly button ring. Even women who don't remove their rings report that belly button rings itch and pull as the belly stretches around the fifth or sixth month. There is also the risk of infection if the belly button ring scratches you or opens a small wound. If you do take out your belly button ring, the piercing hole will probably close, requiring you to re-pierce your belly button after having your baby. However, if you don't want to take out your belly button ring you may want to purchase a non-metal pregnancy piercing ring. These are flexible and two inches long to accommodate your growing belly. Pregnant women claim that this product allows them to keep their bellies pierced without the discomfort of other belly button piercing.
