You can get them done. The reason the Dr's don't like them is because when you're in the hospital they put a monitor on your finger to check your oxygen levels during labor.  Fake nails hinder that ability.

Acrylics are always on my nails. It's my treat every 2-3wks. A bit of pampering makes you feel good. I've never experienced any problems having them done. Go for it. Us mummy's deserve it from time to time x

I've gotten mine done and refilled the while pregnancy also! Acrylic and any time of day I can get there when it needs to be done! And my toes so I'd say keep looked good!

I get gel nails and they're safe I had read that acrylic aren't a good idea due to fumes.

I have gotten mine done my entire pregnancy. Just make sure to go first thing in the morning when the chemicals are not as strong. Also try to sit by a door. I'm 38 weeks and got a fill in yesterday.
