Can I get a navel piercing while pregnant?

Belly button piercing on two different women with two different styles of jewelry

It’s generally not recommended to get a navel piercing while pregnant. During pregnancy, the body undergoes many changes, including skin stretching and increased sensitivity, which could lead to complications with the piercing. There’s also a higher risk of infection during this time, and healing can be slower due to hormonal changes.

If you already have a navel piercing, you might want to consider switching to a flexible pregnancy belly ring or removing the jewelry as your belly grows.
