I am 34 weeks and 3 days pregnant! When should i start packing my bags and what do i need to take with me to the hospital? Thanx for the answers.
If there is a number stamped on the lock by the keyhole, that number will let a locksmith make a key. All he needs is the number. Take the lock along to see if it works. Seems like an unusual lock to me but I don't have any idea of the value.
I agree that a safety pin is a really bad idea. A prepackaged sterile needle would be best. If that isn't available get the closest thing to it you can (surgical steel would be preferred, gold would be next best) and soak it in rubbing alcohol for at least 10 minutes. As far as how to do it, I recommend putting an ice cube on the earlobe to help numb it. Put a clean cork behind the earlobe and push the needle quickly through the lobe and into the cork. This will insure that it stays straight and goes all the way through without poking yourself or the side of her neck. (This is how the nurse who pierced mine did it.) It's a good idea to make sure the thickness of the needle is as thick as the post or wire of the earring. It'll be more comfortable to put the earring in that way. Much as I don't like the idea of your doing this yourself, if you do it carefully and make sure you use the right needle and sterilize it properly, you should be fine.
