Tattoo's And Pericings During Pregnancy Posted: 09-15-05 09:39am
Hey all,
well I have had some people tell me that
you shouldnt get pericings or tattoos
while your pregnant. But then others have
said its ok. While I want a tattoo but
wating till after the baby because of the
ink. But with pericings, does that really
matter if you get one while your pregnant?
I was just wondering.

Piercings, like tattoos still open your
body up to infection. The choice is
yours, but if it were me, then no way
would I want to possibly jeopardize my
baby's life.

Your prone to infection pregnant or not
I have a few piercings and heard nothing
of it, its just getting a shot prone to
infection(epidural, blood test etc.) the
only thing is, its ur choice to make, I
have to pull my piercing out usually
around 7-8 month cause my skin stretches
and I want to put them in post pregnancy
but I have had most of my piercings 5
years +. I had 7 piercings I removed
eyebrow and tongue completly(for work) but
I still have ears and belly
button.........................

I think it would also just depend on the
area of the peircing..Ears, nose and
toungue I would think would be okay.

Nipple piercings can take a long time to
heal though and I had to take mine out
after nine months because they kept
getting infected0and I wasnt pregnant or
anything tongue piercings heal pretty
fast and ear and nose.
