Personally I still did my regular manicure/pedicure during pregnancy, but I tried not to do it too often. My gynae was generally okay with it, but I preferred places with good ventilation because of the chemical smell. For gel nails, I also tried to minimise unnecessary exposure to the chemicals and UV lamp used for curing. Probably okay once in a while, but I wouldn’t do it very frequently. If you’re concerned, maybe can ask the salon if they have gentler or pregnancy-friendly options. 😊 Best to check with your gynae too if you have any specific concerns!
