can you get a piercing while pregnant

Ive always had my nose pierced but it closed up awhile ago and ive been wanting to get it redone. Should i wait till my baby is born or is it okay to do it now?

If your further along then I say you shouldn't. I got my tongue periced at about 6 weeks and I took care of it so I wouldn't get a infection

I wouldn't get one anyways. When my mom had my baby brother he ripped her nose ring out at 9 months old.

@kellyxoxo if thy knew thy wouldnt. Have done it. Just because you didnt get an infection doesnt mean she should do it. Your chances of infection increase when you are pregnant and you can get foriegn materials in your blood that would harm the babu
