Congratulations, you have a baby on the way. But, what if you have fashionable belly button rings? Though they can add to how great you show off your belly during your pregnancy, it is best to take the rings off for the time being. If in the event you want not to remove the rings, take note that they are something that must be cared for very carefully. The wrong care for the rings can cause a lot of complications not only to you but also to the baby. Here, check out these tips to help you in managing your belly button rings all throughout your pregnancy period:
- Consult your obstetrician about the belly button rings. Most of the time, it is fine to wear rings up until the fifth or sixth month of pregnancy. However, there are some cases that these rings cannot be worn. For instance, if your piercing is new, torn, or injured, there is a high risk to the health of the baby because of blood poisoning. Hence, talk to your doctor about the safety of the belly button rings. Get his approval and follow whatever advice he gives you.
- Replace your belly button rings with a safer alternative. There are safe belly button rings for your condition such as plastic maternity rings, circular rings, and large gauge rings. These rings are safer because even if the piercing hole stretches during pregnancy, this kind of rings will not fall out or slip through the hole. There is also a clip-on or stick-on ring these days that can be a lot safer for you during your pregnancy period.
- Apply a generous amount of moisturizer near your belly button. As your belly becomes bigger, the skin around where your piercing is will stretch out. Hence, there are more chances that you can get stretch marks there. To avoid getting stretch marks, always apply a good moisturizer not only near your belly button but also the rest of your belly.
