Mani & Pedi?

I'm 10dp5dt, what do you all think about getting manicures and pedicures at this time? I have a wedding to go to Friday and would like get mine done but I'm a little paranoid!!

Re: Mani & Pedi?

  • I would just make sure you go somewhere you are confident is clean and ideally uses non (less) toxic polish.  You may have to spend a little more but it may give you more piece of mind.

  • I think it's fine! That said, I am constantly working to battle the paranoia - this whole process has been very confidence-shaking. Good luck!
  • I normally bring my own polish when I get a pedi (bc I've had red toenails since I was 22 and that was 11 years ago and I like my OPI The Thrill of Brazil red), if youre worried about the chemicals in most polishes maybe go buy one of the less toxic brands in a color you like and take it with you to the salon?

  • I would say to have your cuticles pushed back instead of cut, I think a risk for mani/pedi while pregnant is infection from their equipment.
