Apparently if you are pregnant, you plan on keeping your baby, so i'll just answer your questions straight up.
They make maternity belly button rings, so no, you don't have to let it grow up. Below is a website that I order my belly button rings from, where you can order a maternity belly button ring at:

I'm a varsity cheerleader too. There was a cheerleader that got pregnant a few years back, and she had to quit. It's kind of a silly question to ask, because not only would it be dangerous to you and your baby, but your school most likely wouldn't let you cheer anyway. Think about; Could you really cheer with a big belly in front of you? No. You couldn't.
As for school, that's mainly up to you. It would be in your best interset to talk to someone from planned parenthood. They will give you your options for school. You could quit highschool, get your GED, wait a few years for your baby to get older, then go to college. Or if you are lucky, you could stay in school throughout your pregnancy, get homeschooled for a semester, then come back. A girl in my grade did that last year. You have a lot of options, but only a professional can help you make a decision, and give you all the possible options available to you.

Nope, the last trimester would tear your belly button ring out and would lead to really ugly scar tissue....you can't keep it. Sorry. I know from first hand experiance. Cheerleading is probably not a good idea either, although exersise is important, running is ok but in the first three months falls could cause a miscarriage. Please stay in school...dropping out would ruin your chance of ever having a normal future and good paying job. Do yo want to tell your child that you are a high school dropout? Not trying to sound mean, but an education is very important especially if you will need a job to support your child. My younger sister had her baby at 15 and her life is nothing to be proud of, she dropped out and works at burger king making minimum wage and barely enough to pay for rent, child care and groceries. It is possible to go to college with a baby...they offer night classes, which worked for me (I'm a bit older though)Don't give up hope...I baby is not the end of life, it's the beginning of a new one.

i dont know about the cheerleadin but its not good for the baby & it could increase uyour chances of passin out too
but about your belly button ring they make a special kind its straight instead of curved & longer so that it wont strecth it either for pregnant women so you wont have to peirce it again
about school you can usually do for about the first 7 -8 months but after your 8 1/2 month or 8 months bein pregnant i wouldno go or you should atleast kno that there is someone who can come pick u up from school immediatly
hope i helped

it would be best to go ahead and take out the belly button ring. once you have the baby, you can get it pierced again, or if it hasn't grown in, then lucky for you :)
you would have to quit cheerleading, for the baby's sake, and also perhaps for school policy. i'm not sure about your school, but at my school the policy is that if you are involved in any sport (like cheerleading) and you become pregnant you have to quit. but you can try out again after you've had the baby. you'd have to ask your guidance counselor about that one.
i have a girl in one of my classes who is 8 months pregnant, so it is possible to still go to school. another girl i know had a child at the very beginning of the school year, so for a while she was homeschooled and came like every other day. you'd have to work it out with your school and your parents- if your parents are willing to homeschool you, then that would be ideal, but it is possible to continue going to school while pregnant. the only problem would be once you have the baby, you need to give your child a lot of attention. it just depends on your parents and if they are willing to babysit while you go to school.
i hope everything works out for you.

i would probably just get rid of the bellybutton ring but if you prefur you could just get one of them ones for pregnants.
you'll prolly have to get rid of cheerleading for awhile or cut back on doing things just incase for the baby.
If you arent planning on getting rid of the baby and ik it would be hard to get rid of and i could never do it then if you have someone to watch it or something during school then that would work depending on how far along in school you are and what not or get homeschooled.
hope i helped.

If you were pregnant you'd have the option to either have an abortion, give the baby up for adoption, or keep the baby. I'm assuming that you're forgoing to first option, so =]
I'm sure the bellybutton ring would still fit, since people with a few extra pounds wear belly button rings, though I wouldn't be able to say for sure.
About school: you should probably tell guidance councilors/teachers about the pregnancy either now or when you get comfortable/it starts affecting your schoolwork. For now, keep doing whatever you already do (minus alcohol, if you drink it), though it may be a good idea to ask teachers if you could study ahead in the course if you are worried about falling behind in the future. You're a little lucky that the last few months of your pregnancy will be in the summer, so you could probably stay in school and keep up with classes for this year. For cheerleading, I'd recommend to stay on the squad until the pregnancy affects your performance noticeably. You can work out while pregnant - one of the top ranking volleyball players in the US did in something like her sixth month of pregnancy, and you couldn't even tell she was pregnant.
You'll only really have to miss school at the beginning of next year. To make it easier for you to get back on top of things, my personal opinion would be for you to give the baby up for adoption, since it is a lot of work to take care of a baby and (this is not meant to be offensive to you or anything) someone who has grown up, bought a house, and found a regular job could probably take care of your future kid better than you could. If you make the decision to keep the kid, you could always do something like take a lighter courseload, or go to an alternative school for teen moms to make it easier. Otherwise, if you found someone else to take care of your future child, you'd just have a month or whatever of school to catch up on, which is a pain, but it happens to different people for different reasons, and once you speak to the school it shouldn't be a big deal.
