Pregnancy safe nail polish

Are you pregnant and worried about whether you can use popular nail polish of today or not? there's no need to worry anymore; here are the answers to all of your questions. Popular nail polish just gets safer for everyone as research discovers new ways to create all these beautiful nail polishes without dangerous substances, and there are lots of pregnancy safe nail polish on the market. When you're pregnant there may be many things you have to give up and avoid; it can be anything from food to activities. But you should never have to give up your right to feel pretty when you get pregnant. During the pregnancy your body will, naturally, change drastically and you will enter different phases with symptoms like sweating, acne and striae (stretchmarks). Your clothes won't fit, you hair gets greasy faster than usual and you feel uncomfortable. In this case such a small detail as a sparkling pregnancy safe nail polish may do the trick and make you feel better! If you (or someone else) have painted your toe nails you may not see them very often but then suddenly, in a certain angle when you see beyond your big stomach, a bright popular nail polish like Essie's Bahama Mama shines back at you and might even think that your feet are pretty beautiful though the swelling. If you eat prenatal vitamins you may experience that your nails grows much faster than usual and this too is a good reason to use pregnancy safe nail polish.

Then what is a pregnancy safe nail polish? Simply, it's a nail polish you can use during your pregnancy without any risk for yourself or your baby. Besides the actual pregnancy safe nail polish, you also have to think about the place where you apply it. If at home, make sure you sit near an open window and if you visit a salon, choose one with good ventilation. These precautions are to minimize the risk of inhaling fumes from nail polish, which in too big amounts or repeatedly can be unhealthy or even dangerous for your child. How you apply the pregnancy safe nail polish is also worth considering; your feet are probably hard to reach so just lean back and ask someone else to paint your toe nails. These are some substances that everyone, not only pregnant women, should avoid in nail polish. These are formaldehyde, toluene, DBP and added chemicals in hardeners. DBP is a product from petroleum and this you should be extra careful with both during and after your pregnancy since it passes through breast milk.

Here are some examples of brands which offers pregnancy safe nail polish: Butter London, Avon, Priti Polish, China Glaze, Elizabeth Arden, L'Oréal, Sally Hanse, Revlon, Lippman Collection, Maybelline and OPI. If you're not sure if a nail polish is pregnancy safe, ask at the drugstore. You may also find more inexpensive alternatives of pregnancy safe nail polish at Walmart and the quality doesn't have to be lower. A pregnancy safe nail polish may have to be applied more often or takes longer to dry but that's not always the case.

After the pregnancy safe nail polish has been applied during pedicure, some foot massage is common to get. When you're pregnant you'll appreciate this especially as it relieves the pain in legs and feet causes by your extra weigh. Though, there are some risks to this. In zone therapy, pressure to specific spots on the body is used to treat different problems. If this is done the wrong way during pregnancy, preterm labor may be the accidental result. If you get pedicure with massage, for example at a nail salon day spa, be sure it's made by a professional who really know how to do it. The area around the ankles are the biggest risk zone in this matter. Another risk with leg massage is blood cloths. The risk for blood cloths during pregnancy is much higher than when you're not pregnant. The two cases I've described are rare but when you're pregnant you want to avoid any risk. The feet and leg areas are of course not forbidden but some light strokes after applying pregnancy safe nail polish are better than deep massage.

What are the rules concerning pregnancy safe nail polish during delivery? Women have different experience of this; when you give birth vaginally it's sometimes OK to have a popular nail polish and in other cases it's not. This may differ from hospital to hospital but to make sure you are as well prepared as possible, don't wear any popular nail polish or other when going to the maternity ward. When surgery (in this case Caesarean section but also in other kinds of surgery) is performed, a machine measures the level of oxygen in the blood through a device put on the finger. If you wear pregnancy safe nail polish this may affect the measure and give a wrong value. When you're going in for labor you will probably want to be as clean as possible out of security and hygienic reasons so skipping pregnancy safe nail polish will probably just feel like the right thing.
