acrylic or gel nails

[ZeeDDS]

Hi ladies,
Are any of you moms/mom-to-bes maintaining acrylic nails during your pregnancy? I'm a FTM and I tried to go without and had them removed (my nails are horrid and soft... Not sure the prenatals can fix this).

Let me know.

My mother in law took me to get the no chip mani!  Very happy with it and lasts 2-3 weeks:) just another option

Thank you so much ladies for your responses (I was scared no one would respond). I sincerely appreciate it. I got my nails done. I doubt my nails can look any worse than they did prior (if they do I'll revert back). Thanks so much, again!

Gel is better for your nails and also has lower odor. It's a win win. However, because your hormones may mess with the moisture content of your nail beds, you may find it's tougher to keep any artificial nails looking good through your pregnancy.

I did with my first, and am now with my second!! Shouldn't have any negative affects!

I did with my first. I can't have them now with work. My doctor told be as long as it's a clean shop who sanitizes their tools and ventelated it was fine.
