Pregnancy and Your Piercing

If you’re pregnant, you may be wondering how your growing belly may affect your belly button piercing. Luckily, you have two options: either take your piercing out or look into purchasing maternity belly rings. Most women decide to remove their belly button piercing around the time they begin to show. Since this time varies for women, so does the month (or week) at which you can remove your piercing. Most women choose to do it at around 5 months. If you’re not keen on removing the piercing, switch your current jewelry to a maternity belly ring. These pieces of flexible, non-metallic material look just like regular barbell jewelry, but can expand up to two inches to accommodate your growing belly.
