Nail Polish

Read an article that said nail polish should be avoided during pregnancy.  Because it has toxins that can be harmful for the baby. I just painted my nails and feeling guiltyabout it. After running into this article, it was on a website. What do you ladies think? Think its true?

I still get my nails done. I read you only have to worry with constant repeated exposure. Like women who work in nail salons, have a higher rate of risk for miscarriage.

Hmm I don't think so. It's hard to say though. I think our mothers have been doing it for years and we came out fine.  Maybe if someone is constantly in hailing the fumes it'd harmful? Like in a cramped salon or nail spa? The Dr never said I couldn't get my nails done. After my 1st trimester.
