Can you have acrylic nails when pregnant. I was planning to go to my local beauty salon to get them done. Nail salons use some pretty strong chemicals and you only want to have limited exposure to these products. Yes its safe to have acrylic nails put on during pregnancy if you take a few precautions.
If you are at all worried you can either have your nails filed off at a beauty salon or go natural. Biotin is a B-complex vitamin that can improve nail firmness hardness and thickness. This is because doctors need to be able to see the color of your nails to check oxygen levels.
The main risk with the use of acrylic nail and other salon products is from exposure to solvent fumes. 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. Shes chief educator for one of the leading acrylic nail products suppliers in the UK so knows what shes talking about.
I was wondering if having acrylic nails during pregnancy is not safe for the baby because of the fumes. I did the same when I was pregnant with my daughter too 4 years ago. Ive had my nails on since a wedding about a month ago and they are starting to become unmanagable.
Worried youll have to ditch having your acrylic nails during pregnancy. Like eat off the floor clean. I would never go to one of those nail bars like professioNails I cant even walk past one of those without feeling nauseous from the fumes.
If you feel uncomfortable though consult with your doctor. Nail salons use some pretty strong chemicals and you only want to have limited exposure to these products. Yes its safe to have acrylic nails put on during pregnancy if you take a few precautions.
