I removed my nipple piercings in my first trimester as my boobs were getting sore. But they left a keloid scar on the side of my nipples which havent gone away. They're not painful. Im jus wondering if this would affect me breastfeeding?

Might impact that nipple slightly but you’re not to know until you try feeding. Just mention it to the midwives or those who help you with feeding at the start so they’re aware too!

I took my nipple piercings out years ago and actually had them done again and taken out a second time… I now have noticeable scars from both times I’ve had them pierced. From everything I’ve read it shouldn’t affect breastfeeding. Even if you still had your piercings in you’d still be able to breastfeed. If you’re already concerned, I’d ask your midwife about it and I’m sure they can advise further
