Tongue piercings are the worst to get especially with being pregnant. I have mine done I've had it done for a yr&half..

This piercing is the most easiest to get infected & it can put yu in the hospital. Thank God mine never got infected!

Also the pain of the healing after is horrible& I had to take vicodin for me to knock out cuss Tylenol wouldn't work & Tylenol is the only safe med while pregnant.

Just wait!

A reputable tattoo artist or piercist would not provide services to someone pregnant!

If you look pregnant they will not pierce you anyway cuz you have to sign something when you get pierced saying you are not pregnant. Or at least I had to do that when I got my nose pierced!

No, you definitely do not wanna take your chances of getting an infection and then it spreading to your heart and stomach. I would say wait it out.

I've heard tongue piercings are the worst type of piercing u can get even if ur not pregnant.... cus their a veins in ur to guess that if they hit it u can bleed out or if it gets infected it's so dangerous cus it goes straight to ur heart....

A lot of people advise you not to get piercings as well as tattoos because oyr bodies are more prone to infection during pregnancy.  So I'd say just to be on the safe side, wait. I'm impatient as well though! I've been wanting a new tattoo forever, and I'm only 27 weeks.
