Is it bad to get a ear piercings while pregnant?

Answer 1

Piercing anything while you are pregnant is irresponsible on the part of the client and the piercer if they are aware you are pregnant. During pregnancy your body is looking after not only you but the unborn child, that is a fair load on the immune system. Professional body piercers will not knowingly pierce anyone who is pregnant. Piercings cause the immune system to load down due to the damage to the tissue from the piercing.

In a health person the system can easily handle this additional load, but if one becomes sick this load can be a bit much for the system to handle. Pregnancy can load the system down considerably and the piercings are points where a secondary infection can set in loading the system down to a dangerous level, add a cold on top of that and there could be serious health issues for the mother and the child. Body piercing needs to be done by a trained experienced professional who has you best interests in mind at all times.
