Lonn,

I work around a lot of people who have pierced every part of their body

imaginable. I've always wondered...When a girl with a pierced navel gets

pregnant should she remove the piercing? When I was full term with each of

my little darlings my navel was protruding and stretched. I can only imagine

that my navel would have exploded had I left an opening in it like a

piercing. Sorry if this is too graphic for some.

Yes, the jewelry should come out. If the jewelry is left in the navel too

long, it can cause a stretchmark where otherwise there might not have been

one. Once the piercing has healed and stabilized the jewelry can be left

out during the last trimester and tapered back in after delivery. We do it

all the time.

I had mine done a year and a half ago and wasn't told this. Of course, I

wasn't working out then so I can't help there. I was just told that I

couldn't swim in a lake for 6 months.

This isn't really off-topic.

I want to get my belly button pierced but the piercer says no

strenuous workouts for about 4 weeks. Has anyone on board had this

done and what was your experience with working out and healing?

There is just no way I can take 4 weeks off! I've been ON since last

June. That's the longest stretch I've gone with cardio and weight

training. I did years of l Arts but that's a whole different

ball game. I'm scared that if I take that much time off I want get

back on.

The reasoning behind this is the sweat factor causing infection at the

pierced site - friction, heat, moistness etc - bad news for skin to

heal. Ditto the lake swimming - too easy to catch some infection in an

open wound. Whats the rush? Why not wait? It'll look even better once

you are done with the current challenge and probably in time for some

beach weather by then :-)

Debra,

I got my naval pierced 5 yrs ago at age 25 and worked out the next day. I've

never heard of having to take time off... i also coached college soccer and a

lot of the girls had theirs done and I know they didn't take time off! I'm not

sure who is advising this but I'm sure you could workout right away, the pain

was temporary and it felt fine even later that same day... just wear loose or

low fitting pants! Good luck.

I agree, the key is keeping it clean. Meticulous cleansing to the area is a

must. What¹s that stuff in the green bottle? Surgi-clean or something like

that. I used that on my piercings, never had a problem.

I had to chime in here. When I had mine done I worked at a dry

cleaner so I got sweaty just working. I was told to take extra zinc

(also by a tattooist) that it helps the body heal. I kept a baggie

of q-tips and a travel size bottle of saline, like to clean contacts,

and cleaned it several times a day and following with neosporin. The

saline is just salt water and it healed rather quickly.

Just another idea.

I had both my knees replaced two years ago and know I have to take antibiotics

before dental appointments. I am considering another set of holes in my ears,

and I would take antibiotics beforehand just like with the dentist, but I am

wondering if I would be wiser to just not get pierced. How much do i need to

worry about infection in my new knees?

Personally, if it was me, I wouldn't take an antibiotic for an ear piercing.

as the environment is sterile, unlike your mouth which is full of bacteria,

and same with a colonoscopy.

Of course it it showed signs of infection that's a different matter. Also if

you were 3 months out then may be yes, but I think 2 years is good. Others

may disagree with me.

I had a tattoo done after 5 joints and I didn't take antibiotics for that

but I do for the dentist. Etc.
