Tongue piercing

I've had my tongue pierced for over a year now and I've had no problem with it EVER until now. Could it be because I'm pregnant?

Your tongue and gums will swell pluss you have a weakened immune system, and I beleive allot of saliva. That why you need to take good care of your teeth. At risk of gum disease and teeth decay.

I read on other forums that it's normal for your tongue to swell a little due to increased blood volume. It's just irritated and uncomfortable.
