For those who know me in real life, I'm not a girly girl. I bought my first pair of high heels today for graduation this weekend, but only because a friend threatened me if I didn't. I don't wear make up very often, as in maybe once a year. So the fact that I occasionally get a manicure and pedicure is really an exception.
The above photo is one that was taken moments after my last baby was born. It was also, until this week, my last manicure. I got this manicure when I was nearly 42 weeks pregnant with said baby. I decided to celebrate my pregnancy and go get a pedicure, maybe get things going form the massage of my feet. When the woman at the salon asked me if I'd like a manicure too, I said yes before I knew it. Now, looking at this photo, I'm so glad I did, otherwise, there'd be some ragged looking nails in this photo.
The thing is, most pregnant women are worried about indulging in a manicure or pedicure. I totally understand where they are coming from when it comes to these concerns. The truth is, getting a manicure or pedicure is a pretty safe thing in pregnancy. Though, there are some things you can do to make it safer.
Did you get a manicure or pedicure in pregnancy?
