hi guys,
i was just wondering can you get your nails done when you're pregnant. Acrylic, gel etc???

I'm sure you can.

I put fake nails on the other day. I can't see anything wrong with it?

yip i did... but i did change the place where i got it done..cuz i found if you go to "professional nails" or similar places where they do heaps of nails the smell gets a bit over powering. So i found someone in a hair salon that did 1 set of nails at a time to stop my head ache lol but thats just me.

I did - through both pregnancies with no ill effects.

I didn't have to worry about the smell though, as my nail tech works from home, so only one client at a time...

i got mine done when i was pregnant and i was worried about the fumes so i went to this one that was out side the shopping center, she left the door open for me and put on a fan. Really nice that she cared...

I studied nail technology while pregnant so was around the fumes every day. It wasn't a probably the dr just told me to drink more water and not put ur hands near ur mouth.
