Can you paint your nails when you're pregnant?
I found out I'm pregnant and at first my thoughts were to abort. I didn't really care about my baby and I immediately dyed my hair and smoked a few cigarettes. I guess I was angry. Anyway, I've since thought about it after my friends talked to me and I actually want to keep my baby. I feel bad that I immediately did things to hurt it but now I'm trying to do good because if I give birth and don't want it then I want it to be adopted and if I want to keep it then I want it to be healthy. anyway, enough of that, nail polish is what I'm curious about. Is it safe to paint your nails when you're pregnant? And what i mean is is it 100% safe to paint your nails when you're pregnant? I don't want some like "it usually is" type answer because I seriously NEED to know. THANK YOUU

Chemicals in nail polish are only dangerous if you are exposed to them in high amounts. To keep it safe I wouldn't expose yourself to nail polish often, if at all during pregnancy, due to the presence of the chemical Toluene in nail polish. (Toluene harmfully effects the nervous system when exposed to high levels.)
It's not painting your nails that's the problem, it's breathing in the fumes and toxins that are in the nail polish that can potentially cause harm.

No. you cannot paint your nails if you are pregnant because the chemicals may harm the baby. You can ONLY if you use a 100% organic nail polish.
