Manicure/Pedicure

[s_loh]

Who still does manicure/pedicure while pregnant? Any mummies do gelish nails?

I feel it is still necessary for basic grooming as it is hard to cut own toe nails esp..
as for gelish..got a stronger smell compared to usual nail polish?

I did pedi though coz cant reach my toes.. but was thinking abt gelish on my fingernails.. coz got upcoming wedding dinner.. feel like doing it.. gelish is so lovely =) plus after wedding dinner, i'll be heading to TW so gelish can last longer mah....

I read online.. seems like there are pple doing.. juz that e ventilation got to be good

Normal medi and pedi ok. I have done it for my first preg. But my manicurist said she won't do gelish for preg ladies as she had a customer who M/C 3 days after doing it. Maybe due to the UV light. Just for sharing...

Even as pregnant ladies, we need to look hip

Hi, was wondering if anyone heard if its pang tang to do mani/pedi during pregnancy? Cos i heard elderly saying that we cannot do painting (the house), reno etc. Mani/Pedi is also painting (the nails)???

i didnt hear of any pang tang-ness of doing mani/pedi.. most likely it's just the smell... i did gelish instead coz no smell.. in fact my maniurist said she has client doing too.. I'm going to check with gynae if we are allowed to have gelish/painted nails during delivery.. i heard from my colleague.. got to remove..

I read that it is fine to do but it is important to make sure the salon is well-ventilated and practices good hygiene. Not sure about the old wives tale part though. I'm struggling to reach my toes to cut my nails so still thinking about getting a pedicure.

I did mine when I was preggy 3 yrs ago. And the manicurist herself was also preggy then with twins!
