That when giving birth you have to take piercings out?

I'm getting close to taking them out anyway, but just curious

 

[babe2ooo]

ummm i dont think so you can get special ones for you belly that are plactic

I know when my sister in law had her child she did end up having to get her belly button ring cut off. She was about 8 months and she had forgot about it. I can't remember why (this was 8 years ago)I just remember her having to get it cut off. My neice is 7 months pregnant and she still has hers in and I don't think she is planning on taking it out. I don't know if that helps or just confuses you more. Sorry I just firgured I would let you know the VERY little I knew. Good luck!

Hey you can actually buy maternity belly bars so I presume you can leave them in!

i left my belly ones (top and bottom) in up untill 27weeks then they just got un comfy and the plastic onces kept catching on everything so they got taken out cause i was scared of ripping them out.

i think it's because if u need an emergancy c-section!

..... if it is belly ones you mean...
vaginal peircings can cause tearing in the hood and labia if not removed... TMI

ooooh.... I'm cringing just thinking about it

......... not that I have any, but have heard......

We believe you

Truthfully, I don't have any piercings other than my ears so I don't know what is expected for belly button rings.

I would think that they would want them taken out but that is certainly something to discuss with your midwife/doctor/gynecologist.

I don't think you have to take them out but it is recommended. I plan on leaving mine in as long as possible. Gonna order one of the plastic ones soon so I don't forget about it. I do think that if you end up having a c-section they will take it out....

Sorry I should've stated It's lip piercings, I have 2 (snakebites) but i've been told by a friend that you have to take them out so thought I'd ask on here..

I don't do belly piercings, not got the belly for it

 

[wishes]

I think theyll prob recommend you take them out just incase you need to go under.... you could wait and take them out when you're ready to burst though.

Thanks

Id assume you would only need to take them out for a C section, but you can get away with keeping in bioplast/ptfe bars.
I had one for my lip for working as it also hid it.

Another thing, since its the opposite end of the body they might be okay with you keeping them in, i was allowed to keep my tragus in as it was the opposite end to where i needed surgery

 

[xJG30]

Ah That's Ok Then, As Said I Am Tempted To Take Them Out, Partly Due To Growing Out Of Them.

I have got tongue, nipple, belly, took belly bar out when pregnant with my daughter but i can still get one through, never took my tongue bar out and no one ever said anything!! Think u will be ok to keep them in chick x x x

 

[xJG30]

It's more that I'm bored of them but just thought I'd see incase I changed my mind but thanks girlies

The hospitals make you take them out if they see them. Especially if you're having an operation. I'd imagine they take the same precautions with a vaginal birth. Just now you have to have an emergency c-section?

I don't really know why. They're a bit anal about it. My parents always used to joke and say it's so that they cant fall into a cut but I had to take my earrings out with my knee surgery. Not much chance of that happening LOL

I really dont know. Maybe sanitary reasons? Maybe they interfere. Maybe I should ask a doctor sometime lol.

 

[yumumleelou]

i have 8 lip piercings and an implant under my eye that i cant take out without surgery and i asked around at the hospital and theyre safe but the tongue has to come out! x x x

 

[xJG30]

8 lip piercings? Where exactly do you have them (If you don't mind me asking)
