Can U Have Acrylic Nails When Pregnant

A chemical called acetone is often used to remove acrylic nails and can be left in contact with your nail for.

Can u have acrylic nails when pregnant. Can acrylic nails cause miscarriage. Then just pull them off. Im wondering if its still ok to get my acrylic nails done now that Im pregnant.

Ive had my nails on since a wedding about a month ago and they are starting to become unmanagable. The main risk with the use of acrylic nail and other salon products is from exposure to solvent fumes. Acetone is a solvent used in nail polish.

I had them for years took me. I would not want to take the risk of a fungal infection while pregnant either. The Environmental Protection Agency EPA lists products such as acetone ethyl meth-acrylate and toluene as ingredients that have the potential to cause adverse health effects due to overexposure.

The small amount of methacrylate that is expected to be absorbed by the skin or lungs from using acrylic nails is not expected to cause an increased chance of problems for your pregnancy or breastfed baby. Nail salons use some pretty strong chemicals and you only want to have limited exposure to these products. And while there have been no controlled studies looking at the safety of artificial nails in pregnant women consider how many chemicals are involved in applying filling filing and removing acrylic nails.

You wont smell anything if they are doing it right. Yes its safe to have acrylic nails put on during pregnancy if you take a few precautions. The drugs can be rough.

Can you get gel nails done while pregnant. Im a bit concerned that it may do some harm as it smells so strong and chemically. So in lieu of them going away once baby comes anyways I personally would just quit them.
