dermal piercings

[Acouture]

Do any of you know if I will have to take them out before delivery? They are on my lower back as dimples. I really don't want to take them out as they would have to be surgically removed. But will if it will affect my delivery. Any insight would help!

I know its not the same but i had my belly button.done and took it out but its all stretched and nasty from my first pregnancy and getting worse this time.

Thanks ladies!! I will ask my Dr at my next appt. I really hope they can stay in.

I took mines out a week ago . They never truly heal all the way and your more prone to infection. I had mines above my belly button

I took my dermal out but mine was on my stomach so im not quite sure about yours

I have my nose, eyebrow and my ears pierced  I didn't have to take anything out. But I think if you get an epi it should be okay if they are on your lower back and they are surface piercings. You could call your hospital just to check and make sure.

At my hospital I think we have to remove all jewelry

I kept mine in. Although they are on my shoulders not lower back.

I think it might effect you getting an epidural if you want one. They'd probably just bandaid over them if you have a csection. I almost couldn't get my tragus out before my section and they said they'd just bandaid over it

Idk. I would ask your doctor. I only have a belly button piercing lol
