i was wondering because i heard you can go into labor from it. i realize i’m probably not far enough along to matter yet, but i wanted to double check =)
Sure, a pedicure will not affect your pregnancy.
There is an article I found that suggests you should have them avoid your ankles if they are giving you a massage because of a small chance of pressure points there triggering contractions. Personally, I don’t buy that, but you can have them avoid doing that just in case if you want to. The only other thing it mentions as a concern is fumes from the polish they might use on your feet. Most places are going to be ventilated well enough, so I really don’t think it should be a concern for you. Other than that, no problems with getting a pedicure.

The pedicure by itself is fine.. but depends on anything else you want to do? I mean I would tell the therapist to not have to many open and smelly chemicals around you, just to keep it to the nail varnish. Like not to have open bottles of acetone or anything and to be too near any other women that are having wierd and chemically treatments.
As long as you arent also going in for a sauna or spa bath then fine… just the pedicure.. thats fine.

I guess my concern would be inhaling all those toxic fumes for the entire time you’re getting it done.

no, spa pedicure wouldn’t harm the baby and won’t cause you to go into labor. It’s always nice to pamper yourself
