I took mine out at 20 odd weeks pregnant and put it back in about a month after having Lauren. It didn't close up and is back to how it was prior to being pregnant!]]> Sun, 30 Nov 2008 20:49:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6214&PID=556228&title=piercings#556228 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6214&PID=556222&title=piercings#556222 Author: Phat_Cat

i took my nipple ring out strait away after it being pierced for about 10 years and it healed really well and almost strait away but better to be on the safe side in case it takes a while to heal. i have little indents on the sides of my nipple but that is it. will be interested to see what diff it makes feeding]]> Sun, 30 Nov 2008 12:09:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6214&PID=555954&title=piercings#555954 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6214&PID=555888&title=piercings#555888 Author: caitlynsmygirl

I changed my belly piercing to a bar one (had a ring one in) at maybe 1/2 way through, but when my belly button started stretching even more I took it out altogether. I did put it back in for a few hours every couple of days (as mine tends to heal over very quickly - even though I've had it for 10 years!). I did find afterwards it was quite hard to get back in, but just persisted! ]]> Sun, 30 Nov 2008 09:21:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6214&PID=555877&title=piercings#555877 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6214&PID=555866&title=piercings#555866 Author: Kellz

I took my belly button ring out about half way through about 25 weeks I think- once my belly got so tight thatmy belly betton was flattened out and where the peicring went it was beginning to be sore. I left it out the rest of pregnancy and put it back in when Isla was 3 days old. Went back in fine!]]> Sun, 30 Nov 2008 08:49:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6214&PID=555866&title=piercings#555866 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6214&PID=555850&title=piercings#555850 Author: lilfatty

I kept mine in mostly .. I didnt even have to put in a maternity one, there were times when I would take it out, but more often than not it stayed in.

Post Isabelle .. I wear one less as she finds it fun to pull it!

Hmmm, this is something I've been thinking about lately.

Emachan, congrats on your new baby! What did you decide to do?

I'm wondering whether its worth getting one of those flexi bars or just taking it out? (I don't know whether I'd want to bare my stomach for quite a while after baby lol)
But if I took it out, would the holes just stretch and become all misshapen?    I hope not!

Just curious, what did people choose to do (I see that most of the replies on this thread have babies now )?]]> Sun, 30 Nov 2008 07:22:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6214&PID=555834&title=piercings#555834 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6214&PID=124761&title=piercings#124761 Author: megrac

I guess I will just have to wait and see what happens - I suppose every situation is different!

I took my nipple ring out at 12 weeks cos it was hurting due to nips growing but i have read that you can actually breast feed with it still in. I found my pierced side was Jacks least favourite and so it made less milk.]]> Sat, 24 Mar 2007 22:05:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6214&PID=122196&title=piercings#122196 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6214&PID=121109&title=piercings#121109 Author: MyMinis

I have one of those Mammamaternity belly bars. its been real good so far & i forget I have it in its just more flexable and only $30 odd (or was it 20 I cant remember with my preggy brain) from trademe. Mines a blue heart. Havent had my belly button pop out yet so will see how it goes but i love my pearcing heaps so would be sad to see it go.

www.mummymaternity.co.nz has special belly button bars for when your pregnant. They are flexable and mean you can keep your piercing while you are pregnant. I havn't used them, as I took my piercings out when I got pregnant with Alex, but they look good.]]> Tue, 20 Mar 2007 14:35:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6214&PID=120307&title=piercings#120307 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6214&PID=119994&title=piercings#119994 Author: Kellz

Yep I took my belly button ring out at about 18 weeks preg, and got it in again with no probs at all when I got home from hospital (3 days after having Isla). I didnt think I would be able to get it back in since I had never had it out before at all, so was very glad that it was so easy!]]> Mon, 19 Mar 2007 19:17:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6214&PID=119994&title=piercings#119994 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6214&PID=119977&title=piercings#119977 Author: MummyFreckle

I have already taken my belly button ring out, I was finding it annoying already (after not noticing it for 8 years....!!) Felt so much better as soon as it was out. Spoke to my piercer and he said that most people take theirs out by 20 weeks at the latest as they just get uncomfortable, but its differnet for everyone I guess. He did say that I should be able to put it back in once the baby is born if I wanted to....not sure yet!! ]]> Mon, 19 Mar 2007 17:35:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6214&PID=119977&title=piercings#119977 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6214&PID=119960&title=piercings#119960 Author: jax

I didn't have to remove my belly button piercing, but I had to get a different kind of belly button bar, one that was longer than normal and flexible of course - I put my normal one back in probably 2-3 months after Erin was born.

As for my nipple piercing, definitely had to take that out, but didn't seem to affect breastfeeding when we were still doing that (bottle fed now), I don't imagine it would pose you any problems - although I agree with Anna in that the sooner you take it out the longer it will have to heal. ]]> Mon, 19 Mar 2007 16:41:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6214&PID=119960&title=piercings#119960 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6214&PID=119945&title=piercings#119945 Author: peachy

Congrats on your pregnancy!

You will have to take it out if you plan to breastfeed, I guess the sooner the better. Give it time to heal!

I had my nipple pierced and it made no difference to my ability to breastfeed, the only difference was that my milk was super fast as it had extra holes to go thru! I had masses of scar tissue too, as I had it done more than once!

Good luck!]]> Mon, 19 Mar 2007 09:18:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6214&PID=119715&title=piercings#119715 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6214&PID=119697&title=piercings#119697 Author: MyBelly

Hi,
I have just found out i am pregnant, unsure how far (im thinking around 6weeks) but have Dr. appointment this morning to confirm.
Anyway to my question, I have my nipple pierced and am wondering if it will affect me breastfeeding my baby, i know im going to have to take it out, but was just worried about scar tissue causing problems.
Has anyone else had any problems like this?]]> Mon, 19 Mar 2007 08:49:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6214&PID=119697&title=piercings#119697
