Acrylic nails - good idea during pregnancy, or not?

Posted: Jul 8, 2013

I'm just curious. Wouldn't it be pretty much common sense, to want to avoid as much exposure as possible to chemicals and possible harmful things if you were pregnant, especially in the early first 3 months?

That is my feeling, - Not to mention...

...taking care of a baby and having long nails just doesn't quite work. Unless, of course, someone else is raising the kid---grandma, daycare, whatever.

She's a young girl, early 20s, so the trashy ghetto look - is the thing for them. sm

I'd be extremely paranoid if it were me, about avoiding anything like that, even doing my own nails at home with plain polish.

But, looking ghetto trash is their idea of beauty, and apparently a priority, so I assume she'll keep on doing it without another thought.

Trashy ghetto look? Is that the same thing as - white trailer trash fashion?

Just curious why it was necessary to blow the dog whistle. Wouldn't descriptions such as "cheap" or "trashy" suffice? Guess not.

Just curious why it was necessary to even make such a comment? - Different parts of the country SM

use different phrases for the same thing.

Ghetto trash, white trailer trash, tacky, trashy all equals the same thing.

The comment wasn't directed at you, so what's the big deal?

trashy and tacky - sm

I'm not the poster you responded to, but I hope you realize that trashy and tacky are generic adjectives. Words like ghetto trash, trailer trash, etc. are generalizations (i.e. slurs). These terms don't all equal the same thing, and it's disingenuous to say they do.

TYVM. I am the other poster. Couldn't have - said it better myself. nm

As much as I appreciate the Archie Bunker quote, you are free to respond with a sensible rejoinder if you feel we two need to be put in our place. lol.

Don't know about "ghetto," would describe it - more as "tacky."

I'm betting - daughter-in-law (nm)

Newborn babies were getting an unusal infection at the hospital I work for and docs were perplexed. The source of the infection turned out to be from the acrylic nails a couple of the nurses were wearing. I don't remember the name of the bacteria but it was cultured from the underside of the nail which obviously weren't washed very well. No more fake nails at that hospital.

I always wore acrylic nails with all three pregnancies - sm

and they were very, very long - a good inch past my fingertips. My own nails underneath, just the acrylic coating over the top so they wouldn't break. I never had a reaction, although I was told that some people do because of the chemistry changes your body goes through. My kids came out perfectly healthy. I transcribed and took care of my kids myself, no problems (3 under the age of 6). Although I do sometimes call myself white trailer trash ;) my nails didn't make me look it. Mind you, this was the mid to late '80s when people weren't so busy in everyone else's business.

Ok...here we go... :-) I am currently just over 21 weeks pregnant and I couldn't be happier! However, I am having a very hard time taking people's "advice" gracefully. This is my first child and by no means do I know everything, but I am pretty well versed in the basics of pregnancy (I transcribe for an OB-GYN). It just seems like everybody I know has something to tell me about how I should be doing this, or I should be careful of this or I shouldn't be doing that. And on ...

With my other non-MT job at Jewelry Televison if I don't smoke I really don't get a break. I found out that I am pregnant and I am finding it so hard to kick the habit.

I have cut back where I don't smoke at home which is good for me. Today I was so stressed out I actuall ...

We have a cat we are going to take in tomorrow to get fixed. She had kittens and now she is pregnant again (at least we think so because her sides are starting to bulge out). There is no way we can have more kittens, and I won't have them suffer in a world where there are too many already and they might go hungry or get placed with bad people or whatever. The questions is I'm trying to not think in human terms. Has anyone ever had a cat fixed after they found sh ...

This is my 4th child, but my 1st while working in transcription. I am 37 weeks and super uncomfortable! I always have pelvic pain no matter what I do! I know she will come out when she is ready but I have started looking up home induction. Mostly everywhere I turn gave suggestions but said nothing worked. So no induction for me! Anyways, I am finding it so hard to type. I have stuffed pillows everywhere and have taken breaks off and on but nothing works ...

My husband and I married for about a year. His niece is having a baby. I am happy for her but have only seen her twice and got invite to baby shower, out of state, couldn't go, ultrasound of her baby on the invite and yesterday got 52 pics of her pregnancy pictures. If she and spouse happy, good but people should realize not everyone cares about seeing pregnancy pictures and as far as ultrasound, that would be just like me looking at someone's xray that I don't even know and could ...

it just so happens that a few hours before he revealed this in a state candidate debate forum, Mitt Romney voiced his support in a local ad release: "There's so much at stake, I hope you'll join me in supporting Richard Mourdock for US Senate." Until today, the race to replace Senator Lugar (who is not conservative enough to suit the Tea Party) was at a stalemate with Mourdock's democratic challenger, Joe Donnelly, having a hairline lead....despite obscene infusions of ...

I used to get my nails done professionally. Absolutely loved them, but gave them up years ago because of cost. My nails are awful and trying to shape and paint them myslef looks bad.

Just curious if anyopne has experience/knowledge of these. ...

We often talk about what should the kids do while you're working. I saw the neatest idea in a Heloise column. The person said to take raw rice, place it in a bin of sorts (I'm thinking dishpan), and get a toy shovel and pail and other "beach" items. It gave instructions on how to dye the rice pretty colors, but I don't remember those instructions. Anyway, it sounds like something a 2 to 4year-old would totally enjoy. Little kids love to fill things up, dump them, fill them up aga ...
