Piercing and pregnancy we tell you everything!

Find in this article all the information about piercings during pregnancy 🤰. Whether you already have a piercing or want to make one, here are the answers to your questions.

Having a piercing or being pierced during pregnancy, we explain everything to you!

Do a piercing during pregnancy possible?

Carrying out a piercing during pregnancy is possible, but most of the professionals refuse as a precaution. Even when the drilling act is carried out in very good hygiene conditions, there is still a risk of infection 🦠. In addition, the mother's immune system is put to the test during pregnancy, with hormonal variations. Not being essential, it is better to wait 3 months after the end of pregnancy to make a piercing. In order to leave the body time to regain its balance and an immune system in great shape 💪.

Should you remove your piercing during pregnancy?

A healing piercing or during healing does not have danger during pregnancy and does not require withdrawal. In addition, you must remain vigilant during a piercing under healing because an infection remains possible. Remember to rinse your piercing regularly with physiological serum or soap it with neutral pH soap in the shower 🚿. Pay attention to the signs of your body, a piercing with red, swollen or painful edges should alarm you. If in doubt make an appointment with your doctor so that he can carry out a health exam and give you the procedure to follow 🩹. Be careful not to use antiseptics during pregnancy without the advice of your doctor, your state of health is subject to great vigilance.

Should you remove your piercing before childbirth?

During any surgical intervention, we advise you to withdraw your piercings ✨. Indeed, the risks during an operation are great, even if we are not aware of it. THE piercings may cause burns when cauterizing wounds or injuries in the event of clashes. The delivery initially planned by low way can be modified according to the evolution of the work and end up carried out in cesarean. In order to minimize risks during childbirth and any complication during this unforgettable moment, we advise you to remove your piercings. However, be sure to put them back as quickly as possible to prevent your hole from getting a plug.

Navel piercing or nipple:

This question often comes back, and despite our specialization in ear jewelry, we decided to answer it because this article would not be complete without having addressed this important point ⚠️. These piercings are directly impacted by the modifications of the body due to pregnancy, the skin stretches and your pretty piercings often become embarrassing. There is no obligation to remove them but, often in comfort, they will be from the 5th month of pregnancy.

Know that for a navel piercing, so -called “pregnancy” jewelry exist. These are bioplast jewelry whose stem is able to adapt to your new body. On the other hand, if you decide to completely remove your jewelry, know that it is rare that a completely heal navel piercing is rebuilt. So you can quickly put your jewelry again once your baby in your arms 👶.

Regarding piercings At the nipples, the chest being larger during pregnancy, you are advised to increase the size of your bars by comfort. If your chest is too sensitive and your piercing bothers you, you will have to remove it. It will be the same if you want to breastfeed your child. In order to avoid any risk of injury or suffocation (yes it is possible that your jewel is offset during breastfeeding), be sure to remove your jewelry 🤱.

In conclusion, you can completely keep your piercing during pregnancy by adapting your body over the months. However, we do not recommend making a piercing by being pregnant or during breastfeeding, to avoid any risk of infection while your body is more vulnerable 🤕.

You can find all our advice of care for the duration of your healing, if you ever decide to spend the course after having lived the best event in your life 💗. The nebulous team wishes you a great pregnancy and a wonderful childbirth 💫.
