I had mild depression at the beginning of my pregnancy and my doctor actually recommended getting my nails done. She told me to treat myself and just have a relaxing day. So go ahead and get them done. Just like the others said, try a mask or vent out the fumes.

the only problem is with the fumes, but if you ask for one of those mouth and nose masks then everything would be fine, ive got mine done every 3 weeks after 12 weeks but my doctor said i would have to get them removed at 35 weeks due to hospital policies

It's fine. You can ask for a mask at the salon.
