Ok, I dont know if I'm going to sounds nuts but I figured I could get some answers. I went to the nail salon today, which I never do but once a year, and part way through I can smell the typical nail salon fumes. Is it going to be very harmful to my baby? I was only in the place for 30 minutes but I am paranoid, even though this is my second, I never had my nails done with the first.
As long as it was well ventilated (which I would be shocked if it were not) I wouldn't worry at all. Think about the types of working conditions many women are in while pregnant, 30 minutes in a nail salon should not cause any harm.

Was this one of those places where they put the nails on you or just a mani/pedi place? I always get gagged up by the fake nail places even not pregnant, so I can't imagine sitting in one ever. Plus, the nail techs always wear masks, that can't be a good sign, lol. I've been in a mani/pedi place a few times. Well ventilated and they use safe polish, so I didn't let the smells worry me.
One of the things my OB made a point to talk about at my first appt was manis/pedis. I guess she was getting the question a lot. She said it is perfectly safe as long as the room is well ventilated. I have been twice this pregnancy with no issues.
