I have 2 implants in my sternum and plan to have another 5 put in there to finish off the "design". Other piercings at the moment include tongue, implants in wrist, piercing in navel, nipple, 4 in ears. On the waiting list is 5 more in sternum, industrial ear, implants in other wrist and nape. Very. Expensive. Habit.
Only an unprofessional piercer will do you while you are pregnant.
Even if they did I would NOT suggest a sternum during pregnancy as they initially require a lot of attention and your body uses a lot of energy healing them and getting used to the fact that they are not a foriegn object to be rejected.
Some piercings will reject regardless of how well they are pierced...it depends on the individual. A LOT of people cannot hold in sternum piercings becuase the skin there is so delicate, it just doesn't hold.
You wouldn't want a rejection while pregnant. You would be exhausted.

Honestly - I wouldn't waste my money. It will grow out within a couple of months because of where it is located. Plus, I can't imagine it being too comfortable when bub grabs it my mistake.
Plus, anyone who pierces a pregnant woman would seem way dodgy in my books.
You're one brave woman if you get it done... ouch!
If you still want it done after pregnancy I would go implants and NOT a surface piercing. Implants are more pricey and a different procedure but from personal experience I can say that they are so many times better than a surface piercing. Surfaces are a total PITA. Implants sit flush (flat) against the skin so there is no pulling, grabbing or getting caught on things.
As with all piercings, implants can get taken out but you must go to a piercer to get them cut out and removed. So they are a more permanent option.
