piercings and labor

[Hmph16]

When you go into labor do the nurses make you take off all your piercings?

I took mine out because it was uncomfortable, obviously. Once you get a 25 week belly you will see what I mean. Even with a pregnancy ring, you will be in a lot of discomfort. My skin had stretched so tightly over the barbell that I could not move it. I had to lubricate the piercing before taking it out. Now, when I put it in every few days to make sure it has not closed, my skin will react as I put it in because it's literally breaking my skin as I slide it through.

I had a csection and they made me take all mine out. Not sure how it is for natural labor

When i went into labor i never took any of mine out. I had a belly button ring too. I would imagine in an emergency they can cut it off no problem.

I took my pregnancy belly bar out at 20 weeks because my belly button now sticks right out and it was going to rip! :) But I don't think you have to if yours is comfortable

oh thank goodness I'm 26 weeks and never heard of that it freaked me out, I don't want to take mine out.

IDK why she says you'd take your pregnancy ring out... My belly button never popped and I'm 36 weeks and still wear mine

[Hmph16]

I have a lot of earrings and a smiley and of course the nurses won't see my smiley so I'm wondering if I should take it out now. I'm 37 weeks

[Laurenn217]

You have to take out your pregnancy belly ring? Why?

[FloridaAtHeart]

If you're worried about a belly ring or something...you'll be taking that out probably around 30 weeks...even if you do get a pregnancy one, you'll still take it out---so don't stress.

Yup... Maybe not ear rings but anything else they do. Just incase u need to go into emergency csection.. They don't want any metal around, specially because everything is sterilized.
