Well ya mommy..those chemicals you breath in when u get ur nails done are not good for you and DEFINATELY not good for your unborn child...

And mama_kat is right there is a search function to see what other moms have said and there is no better place for advice than your doc!

My dr told me it was safe to do both as long as the places were well ventilated.

I would try to get nails done early in the morning before to many ppl get theirs done so the place doesn't smell to much

I'm a cosmetologist and there are brands of color that have been proved not to harm you wee one! Chi and paul mitchell are 2 of them and as for the nails ask for "fumeless" or wear a mask!!!

I went to school for it and studied hair nails facials ect for 2 years. If you should trust anyone ....girl I got you! google "extreme nails" its a brand. And call around the nail salons and ask if they use it!

I thought the main problem with getting your hair colored is that the funky hormones make it hard for the color to take right. Not so much the fumes, which is mostly a problem just because you've got the nose of a hound dog while you're pregnant.

Like august22baby I'm also a cosmo and its fine to get your hair done though your hair may react a little different to the treatments you are having done than before you got pregnant. The fumes from the nail chemicals are very strong I would avoid that.

I'm 27 weeks pregnant and I always get my hair and nails done my doctor said it was fine and if the smell bothered me to just to wear a mask but it does not harm the baby
