Is it okay to get your nails done while pregnant?

Because i usually get mine done every 2-3 weeks,but i'm worried about the chemicals they use. Do you think they can harm or effect the baby in anyway?Is it okay to get your nails done while pregnant?
Don't worry it's fine, the smell may make you feel sick but that's about it. I got my nails done several times during my pregnancyIs it okay to get your nails done while pregnant?
why not? a lot of pregnant women get their nails done just so they feel good about themself. Have fun with it.
I am 34wks pregnant and my doctor has not said 1 word to me as of yet. I don't know anyone who doesn't get at least a pedicure when they're pregnant (once it gets harder to reach their toes w/ the belly in the way LOL).
Read this article. It says it is safe to do so. http://www.babycenter.com/plus/safe/ques鈥?/a>

There are many chemicals used while getting your nails done that are listed as allergens, including formaldehyde, acrylic liquid, nail glue and polish removers. It is possible that you may develop a reaction when your skin becomes in contact with products used in a nail salon. While you are pregnant, your skin can become more sensitive to the


normal exposure to these products. There have been case studies that have linked exposure to formaldehyde with birth defects, early term births and fetal difficulties. The amount of exposure is higher in the studies than in a your normal day at the nail salon, still make sure that the nail polish you toluene- free. There is no research suggesting that getting your beautiful artificial nails need to be removed while your pregnant but you may ask your nail tech to please avoid any skin contact while working on your nails. This is especially true during the first trimester when the baby鈥檚 organs are


being formed. One of the biggest problems at nail salons in general is the fumes, that can make anyone nauseous so please ask to have your nails done with a open window or in a airy, well-ventilated area. Anything that can be done to limit the amount of exposure.
It i okay to get them done because the chemicals are't going in your body
I heared it wasnt ok. Anything you smell or put on or in your body your baby gets. Thats why you cant color your hair too.
Yes, but just try to ask if they can leave a door open so the air can circulate
dont risk it when i was prego the doctor even said he didnt want me pumpimg gas for my car so yeah stear clear of chemicals.
