Ok this might sound like a stupid question , could infected piercings be a pregnancy symptom ? I always wear the same earrings , I never take them out last time I was pregnant I noticed my ear piercings had all got infected , it was about a week before I found out I was pregnant , I remember buying peroxide and thinking it was a bit odd because my piercings never got infected before after I found out I was pregnant I figured that was why , and now today and yesterday my piercings have been bugging me so I had to clean them all again with peroxide , years ago when I was pregnant I would end up with really itchy skin and noticed I had become allergic to eggs .

unrelated, but...
NEVER PUT PEROXIDE ON A PIERCING
use only saline solutions....or sea salt and water.
you could give yourself a worse infection by using peroxide.

the peroxide can eat away the healed skin, and is WAY too harsh.

when i was preg with my son all my piercings felt like they was infected i have 9 ear and 4 body piercings and could wear any of them all throw my preg. also yes dnt put peroxide on them or salt as salt will dry out the skin and make it split

not salt,
sea salt and water. a mild, home made saline solution.
thats what's recommended by piercing professionals.
(no, not those department store crazies that pierce your ears with a gun)

It sounds like this might be a sign for you. When I was pregnant my first sign (other than a rumbling tummy) was a canker sore. I had never had canker sores before. So, fingers crossed for you. Good luck.
