Yeah, massage can help induce labor! I used to work at a massage place and we had women around 37-40 weeks come in all the time to help labor! If pregnant women came in mid-pregnancy their ankles, feet, wrists and hands had to be avoided during the massage because of their pressure points and I actually witnessed a woman go into labor during her massage (: but yes, you can most definitely get your nails done!

Just make sure it's well ventilated if you can't take the smell ask for a mask

I've heard foot massages can help open your cervix because of pressure points (may or may not be true) but this far into your pregnancy it could be a good thing! If not its relaxing to be pampered and have pretty toes!

No. Lol. I mean as long as you're in a ventilated area, theirs women that dye their hair while pregnant.  It's really not a big deal

Why would it be bad? No .  However I Heard You Shouldn't Use the Massage Chair Thus Far into Pregnancy.   I get pedicures every two weeks and I'm now 37 weeks
