    I couldn't imagine what this would look like so just googled it.

    I can't imagine that being pregnant would stop you getting it done. I would be more concerned about small fingers grabbing hold of it if you were breast feeding - I can imagine that it would be pretty painful to get it done, but so much more painful if someone grabbed it.

    im thinking that if i get it done now i will have time for it to heal so when the little one does arrive i can just take the balls off the ends so its not as easy to grab.

    No - a reputable piercer will not pierce a pregnant woman - the risk of infection is increased significantly due to the suppression of the immune system. Any piercer that would pierce you when pregnant, IMO is not worth going to in the first place.
