Piercings..

I have my belly and nipples pierced, will I even be able to breast feed if I were to take them out now? And do I have to get rid of my belly piercing as well?

They recommen you take out nipple rings for breastfeeding because it's a choking hazard but your belly ring you can have in as long as it's comfortable for you. I kept mine in until i was 6 months then my skin started stretching so I took it out. They do have maternity belly rings but i haven't used them but I heard they were good :)

I'd be afraid of baby choking on the piercings? But then again I don't have them so I don't even know if that's possible lol. I do know your nipples will be really raw but if you can handle it, keep them in. :)

Ya I'm breastfeeding and I just took out my nipple rings when I found out I'm pregnant. They're not closed up. I actually leak thru my holes lol

There is a belly button piercing made just for pregnant women, I've seen it at Spencer's. Otherwise yes you'd have to take it out.
