How to manage belly button rings during pregnancy
Clean your jewelry regularly.
In order to prevent infection, it is critical that your piercing is clean and sanitary. At least once a week, take your piercing out (when your piercing professional says it is safe to do so) and wash it with warm water and soap.
Scrub hard in order to disinfect the ring or bar. Dry it with a paper towel or wash cloth before you reinsert it.
