    Acrylic Nails

    Only found out, so I'm 5 weeks. What do I do about my acrylic nails. I can't get them redone can I? But I can't soak them off in acetone either. Any advice?

    You can get them done if you like, I did throughout my entire pregnancy.
    The salon I went to was well ventilated and I sat near the door.
    Completely up to you

    I'm a nail tech by trade, I suggest that if you choose to keep your acrylic nails to make sure you don't frequent smelly salons. Those salons you can smell the acrylic out from are generally very bad for you anyways! Let alone during pregnancy.

    Just to let you know, there are also salons out there that can do what they call 'prescription nails' these nails are glued on (and last 2 weeks) they are specifically sized up and don't damage your natural nail plate like acrylics do. (or put the fumes out either!)

    Have a hunt around. It really is a personal decision though.

    Congrats and have a happy and healthy pregnancy!
