I never had to remove mine at my scans.. ? I removed mine early because I started to show early and my body started to reject it/get infected because of my hormones.. it even started pussing and was all red! eww! lol
But it just depends on when you are ready..
Mine did start to get uncomfortable after a while. The skin over the bar was getting really tight and my belly button popped out so it was pushed up. That was why I took it out in the end. I guess I was probably about 25 or 26 weeks.
I took mine out at about 24 weeks when my tummy really started growing. My OH was seriously on my case. Wish I had known about the plastic ones! I've had mine now for 8 years so I feel naked without it.
If it has closed up, I'll use that as an incentive to get my stomach back to normal (well as normal as possible). No point getting it pierced again if I'm too shy to show my stomach in the bedroom or if I go swimming in public.
i have just got a pregnancy belly bar on friday but i wished i had of changed mine earlier as i have a red mark under the top ball due to the other belly bar rubbing and its a bit sorexxx

i took mine out for around 8 months once and it went back in - was a bit sore though! still got it in at the mo, cant decide to take it out or not- some reckon its best too, some say not....
