I had a bellybutton piercing that I took out in my third trimester. I had an enormous belly (I ended up growing a 10lbs 11oz baby in there!!), and the baubles on the ends of the belly ring were pressing into my skin, causing redness and sponginess.
I haven't put it back in, as the piercing holes are no longer in line with my belly button and it would be asymmetrical .. my belly button has caved in, with a bump protruding, and my piercing holes are about 1cm to the right. Bummer hey?
ETA: regarding the nipple piercing, I haven't had one so can't really talk from experience, but a lot of women leak from their breasts when breastfeeding anyway (or at least I do, that's why I wear breastpads), and if milk leaks DURING breastfeeding, it also wouldn't be a problem as the baby will have all of the nipple and a lot of areolae in it's mouth anyway.
