Fingernail Polish & Pregnancy: Is It Safe?

Question
Is it safe to paint your fingernails and toenails while pregnant? I was concerned about it but then saw other pregnant women wearing polish so I painted my toenails. Now I am worried about it hurting the baby and want to know if I should take it off and leave it off?

Answer
Katie,

Nail polish is safe to use in pregnancy.  You can even color your hair if you want to (I recommend an all natural hair color product).  It helps to have nail polish and other things to make you feel pretty in this time when you don't feel so attractive!  Good luck!
