Not sure, but I don't see why you would have to take it out.

When u have yr baby u do gotta take it out but after yr done delivering the baby u can put it back in so I heard .. The reason it hurty her is becuz of scar tissue I have my toung pierced to since june but im still scared to take it out cuz last time I left it out for like a 1/2 hour and it closed I had to push it back in there

I just dont wanna have to go through all that pain again....But thanks for all the help...

Im not forsure but I have heard that you have to take it out to

Well I know that for any surgery they make you take it out. So I would guess so. But my friend just had a baby and they didn't make her take any of her jewelery out. I.E. Large earrings. So I really don't know. I just wouldn't say anything. But there are clear, flat studs that you can get from clairs or walmart or wherever you got it pierced. There's always a way around it!

I have my tongue pierced. I read somewhere that you have to take it out but i'm not going to. I've had mine pierced for over 2 years but it would still close up in a matter of minutes. Just try and not let them see it. They can kiss my ass. I'm not having the pain of having it redone or paying for it. I don't see what the big deal with it is.

I am sure there is a reason they have u take it out! They wouldn't do it just to be jerks! I would say try and look up some info on it!!

Yeah I think im going to do a search and see what I can find...

I cant find anything guys and I have to get back to school now so can one of you guys try and do a search please....Thanks...

Hah, I had mine peirced for about four months, got bored and took it out. This was about 2 years ago, I can still put it back in. Well with a bit of pain. But then thats me, I peirced my own nose, ears few times.. I think that in some cases they like you to take out your peircings as during labour you move about and could damage them. Dont know, just what I heard.

Hardly anyone can leave their tongue rings out that long. I don't care why they ask you to take it out. I am not redoing mine. I'm sure it's a just in case thing but i'll take my chances.

I pierced my own nose and ears too....But I left my tongue ring out for a half hour one time and almost couldnt get it back in....Now what if im inlabor for hours or something....And I still cant find nothing on it...

I never had my tongue pierced but I did have my lip done. When I found out I was pregnant the first time my doctor told me that when it came time to have aurora i'd have to take it out for saftey reasons. When a woman goes into labor she sometimes thrashes around a lot and bites down on her lip while pushing. They just dont want the ring to be ripped out. And i'm just guessing but its probably the same thing with a tongue ring. They just want to be causious incase something happens and it rips out and the women ends up chocking on it. At least that would be my guess. You should still talk to your doctor though he/she would be able to tell you why for sure.

yes, that's what i've heard/think too. You never know how you're gonna act in labor.

I had a friend deliver this past jan. And she had a to take hers out. Its because they are afraid you will swallow it and choke.

i have my bottom lip pierced twice and my obgyn has said the same thing to me.

Well thanks for all of your advice....From what it seems like, I guess I will be taking mine out.....But I hope my doctor tells me I dont have to...Lolz...But thanks again to all of you....

There are clear flat studs to go into the hole. They are totally hidden and safer. If you were to bite anything to rip out it would prob. Be your tongue w/ the clear stud! ......Just a suggestion...

I never thought of that...I will have to look into that one...Thanks...
