If you plan on breast feeding its best to remove you nipple rings if not they should be okay you might want to remove your clitorous piercing while giving birth my cousin refused to remove hers and it got ripped out  most doctor prefer you remove all jewelry during labor incase something goes wrong

Just from previous pregnancy the clitorious pricing might want to be removed before delivery. But you could talk to your ob about what he/she thinks.

I have my nipples pierced and the doctor told me I can keep them in if they aren't causing any discomfort. The only time I need to take them out is when I breastfeed. It poses a choking hazard. And the doctor said that if you have a vaginal piercing, they must be removed for vaginal births and replaced afterwards if you want.
