What if my doctor wants me to remove all metal jewelry during delivery or if I have a C-Section?
- Every order includes little plastic ends called O-Rings. They are non-metallic and work great if your doctor wants you to remove all metal jewelry.
Do I have to be pregnant to use a Pregnancy Piercing™?
- NO, this is a great temporary piece of flexible navel jewelry. It works well for women who need surgery or have gained weight and are experiencing pain due to a tight navel ring. Just keep in mind it is for temporary use. They are not made for long term.
The description mentioned I can cut them to size. How is that possible?
- Pregnancy Piercings™ are made up of 3 pieces, 2 end balls and a shaft. The ends plug into the shaft, not screw in, so you can cut the shaft to any length and still “plug in” the ends. Be careful not to cut the shaft too short as you will need room to hold the shaft while inserting the ends (and a pregnant belly tends to grow beyond expectations).
What if one of the ends falls off?
- All orders include O-Rings, so you can use these as ends or you can order extra ends. Remember, this is a temporary piece of navel jewelry and is not as tough as metal jewelry. Be careful not to damage the shaft while inserting or removing ends as this can weaken your navel ring and increase the likelihood of losing an end ball.
My piercing is 16 gauge can I still use a Pregnancy Piercing?
- If you have a 16 gauge piercing you can simply have a Piercing Shop use a taper to insert your Pregnancy Piercing. Some women find the slightly larger size works better to keep your piercing.
I am allergic to some metals. Can I still keep my piercing through pregnancy?
- That depends. If you are allergic to nickel or stainless steel, use the Non-metallic Pregnancy Piercing ONLY. The posts of the ball end Pregnancy Piercings contain these metals.
If I am allergic latex can I use a Pregnancy Piercing™? No. If you are allergic to latex or plastic you should not use a Pregnancy Piercing.
