piercings while pregnant ?!

FTM and I'm not sure if its OK to keep my piercings in an if not when should I take them out?! I have my nipples pierced and my clitoral hood. When doing light research about it I've gotten mixed answers, some say its OK to leave in the clit piercing as it shouldn't interfere w/ delivery since the baby comes out of your vagina but others said they had some tearing of there clitoral hood. And also, if any moms have belly button piercings, when did you remove them ?!

For my belly button ring, I just ordered a maternity one online that moves/stretches with your stomach

For hygienic reasons, I'd take out the piercing downstairs. Like said above, you bleed a looong time, and that may be super annoying trying to keep up with. Don't want any infections or ickyness. Also, if you're breastfeeding id take out the nipple rings. I don't see how your baby is supposed to nurse with those. If you're formula feeding, don't worry about it.

I had my clit hood pierced. But I just said forget it and took it out at 4 months. They said it doesn't interfere with delivery but I didn't want to be bleeding for a long time & it's gets all ickkkyy because I like to clean it alot especially before during my periods. And u might be in pain down there. I said I'll get it re pierced if it was ment to be.

Hood needs to come out before delivery I'm pregnant with my second nipple rings can stay in belly rings don't need to come out until your belly button pops out if it does ! You can put a pregnancy belly ring in
