How can nail polish harm the fetus?

Answer 1

Getting your nails done is not really harmful to a fetus, but the fumes and the possible exposure to bacteria and other disease are. Choosing a nail salon that is well ventilated and sanitary will reduce the risks involved. However, any infections that you may encounter will likely affect your child.

Answer 2

Some will say yes but I say no. Any chemicals you put on your body (nail polish etc.) will be absorbed. If you must get one maybe go without the polish and just get them shaped. Remember there are tons of bad chemicals in every day things such as shampoo, toothpaste, dish liquid, detergent, air freshners, nail polish, Etc. Do a search on the effects of Sodium Lauryl Sulfate on your and your babies health. Also PLEASE avoid Splenda products. Do a search on them also. You will be gald you did.

Answer 3

nail polish contains many harmful chemicals, that babies cannot withstand as much as us. the mother breathes in the chemicals, and the baby breathes the mothers air. it can effect growth. it also can goe into your skin, remember that baby is completely made of YOU.

Answer 4

Yes. There are no contraindications to getting a manicure or pedicure while pregnant. Some people will advise against it in the first trimester of pregnancy, because of the chemicals that can be inhaled in the lungs or absorbed in the skin. But, generally, if there is adequate ventilation, there is very little risk to the fetus, if any. Ultimately, the decision is up to each individual. If there are further concerns, always consult your personal physician.
