The belly button and genital jewelry should be removed before the birth of a child. If you are pregnant, have a C-section or medical intervention during delivery; all body jewelry must come off then as well when breastfeeding your baby. Nipple jewelry can also wait until after they welcome their new addition! There is no reason to take any risks while in this delicate phase – so stay safe by removing anything that might hurt if need be once we get through these nine months together.
