Why does it hurt?
i had the centre of my bottom lip pierced 2 years ago and never had any problems before but recently its been really sore i dosnt look bad just red im seven months pregnant could that be ssomething to do with it?
Answers:
Being pregnant can make the body react to metals- and so to the piece of jewelry that`s being worn.
pregnant bodies do not tolerate strange objects and materials well-as a defencemechanism to protect the baby
even though its been pierced for a couple of years you could help to clean your piercing with a mild seasalt-solution:
make a solution of a quarter of a litre of boiling water and a half a teaspoon SEASALT or BAKING SODA.
more of the salt or soda works less.
put this solution in a cup and put the cup for 20-30 seconds against the piercing, so the piercing will soak in the solution.try to move the jewelry a little while you are doing this.
rinse off with warm water.
do this 1 or 2 times a day.
salt water soaks helps to stimulate air and blood circulation which helps healing (because now your body is probably rejecting your piercing due to change of blood with the baby, or it could be infected)
if i was you, i would just take the piercing out until you have had the baby and your hormones are all settled down after :)
hope this helps you
