Margaret asked about a client that was wearing a nipple ring towards then
end of pregnancy.......

"She's in the last month or so, wearing a nipple ring that was inserted,
without any ensuing complication, about 10 years ago, and she asked if she
should remove it during pregnancy."

I have had only one client with a nipple ring.  She DID remove it during
pregnancy per her MD's request.  I did not see her until she had delivered.
The holes were still patent; there were absolutely NO problems, just a
couple of extra spouts! :-)
