I have a pretty high pain threshold too, so hopefully I will be ok. I've had my tongue pierced before and didnt think that hurt at all (I had it in for 5 yrs but took it out when I became a mum). I hope the Emla cream works well.
I always figure if you've gone through labour, a piercing is a complete walk in the park!!!
I have a pretty high pain threshold so piercings honestly don't bother me for more than the three seconds of stinging it takes to get the needle through skin, but I really don't think navel piercings are that bad. My navel was my first 'real' body piercing (ears don't count lol), my parents took me to get it done for my 13th birthday and I didn't use creams, patches or any form of anaesthetic... It stung for a few seconds but yeah after that it was all done, the healing process was worse because of the itching and rubbing against clothing!!
But yeah, just try to think of it that way - you've birthed a child, there is nothing on earth more painful than that, and a piercing might hurt for a couple of seconds but then you have years of a gorgeous little sparkle on your bod!! It's worth the momentary pain
I just reread my post - I so didn't mean to scare you!!! LOL
Trust me when I say there are much more painful piercings than your navel. I just found mine to hurt a lot because of the scar tissue but I have had way worse! If you want a virtually pain-free piercing - get your tongue done! Didn't hurt a bit!
Yeah I had my tongue pierced, I had it for 5 years and took it out when I became a mum. I kind've wish I hadnt taken that out either. My tongue never hurt but funnily enough I reckon I'd be scared if I had to go and get it done again (even though I know it doesnt hurt).
