So random question, I’m 11 weeks and 1 day I was wondering what I should do in regards to my belly piercing? I also have…

@christine2904, I’m going to breastfeed for the few few days/week and then bottle feed. Now that my nipple bar is out, I’ve noticed that the nipple that was pierced isn’t leaking as much as my other nipple so I think if I was to breastfeed long term, it’d cause problems for me or baby wouldn’t get enough milk. I’d rather bottle feed anyway though xxx

@chloeanne3005, have you thought about breast feeding? I’m so confused on what 2 do about the nipple piercing situation.. I’ve had it done about 3 years.. only ever changed it once as had it done with a ring and then put a bar in it instead. Xxx

@christine2904, I didn’t try to breastfeed because of having them and I didn’t really want to take them out because they look weird 😭 x

I was huge and kept my belly bar in till I went into the hospital to have him haha. Not sure about nipple piercings x

I had to take my nipple piercing out when I was around 12 weeks because it started hurting and leaking (gross I’m sorry) and I had to take my belly bar out a couple of months ago because it was so sore and itchy but the hole hasn’t closed up so I’ll just put it back in when baby is born xx

I kept my belly bar in for as long as comfortable with a normal bar and then changed to a flexi bar untill that became uncomfortable which I think was about 35/36 weeks and put it back in the day I gave birth 😂 I'm planing to do the same this time and just change/remove when it becomes uncomfortable xx

I took my belly bar out before my 20 week scan, I haven't put it back in either 😂 x

@christine2904 I want to breast feed , but I'm not sure about that because I'm sure milk would come out more holes my midwife said you could still breast feed out just the one nipple but I suppose that would get really sore so I'm not too sure x

@leighjamie99, ohhh thank you!! Do you plan on breast feeding? Gonna have 2 invest in a bigger bar then because this one is already getting small x

@christine2904 I'm 20 weeks and I've got my nipple pierced i find it sore a lot and a lots of puss comes outs if advise to get a longer bar for the nipple better for comfort x

@toni_mcentee, did you manage 2 breastfeed? I never really thought about it while getting it done and now I don’t really know what I’ve done lol but thank you! X

I left my nipple piercings in all through my pregnancy, maybe get longer bars if you feel them getting a bit uncomfortable x

I left my normal belly bar in with both of mine xx @christine2904

Yeah I’ve had my piercing since I was 15 so I don’t think it will heal. I haven’t got a bump yet I was just wondering.

I didn’t even think 2 ask my midwife regarding my nipple bar, I hate looking at it without the bar in tho, it’s a bit gross..

Thank you ladies xx

I took both my belly bar out because it was stretching and took them out again at 12 weeks with this baby to stop them stretching more I didn’t bother with pregnancy bars because I’ve had my piercings years and they never heal up but it’s completely up to you what you do cx

I took my belly bar out around 28–30 weeks. When it started getting tight and sticking out . I’m unsure about your nipple piercings, I’d maybe just asked your midwife? X
