Nail varnish remover

in Pregnancy
I just took all my nail varnish off hands and feet and was going to reapply then thought I would google it in pregnancy and am now wishing I hadn't.

I could smell the acetone (obviously) but washed it off with soap and water afterwards but am now really worried as I am so early on in my pregnancy.

Anyone else used remover and nail polish in the first trimester?

Thanks. image

6 weeks today.

    yeah I used nail varnish remover in early pregnancy, i wouldnt worry too much about it hun, and definitely step away from google x its ok to use things like bleach and to paint as long as you are in a well ventilated room so im sure a little bit of acetone will be fine x

    I'm always doing my nails!!



    I use acetone free nail varnish remover any way so use that.



    Also open a window and air the room.



    Def not stopping painting my nails! If you google what not to do whilst pg the list is endless! I would have to hibernate image

    I use it too. Am 34 weeks pregnant and baby is fine. Don't worry about it. Your baby will be fine I'm sure. I am having a section and the letter from the hospital insists all nail varnish needs to be removed. I am sure if it shouldnt be on in the first place they would tell us! x

    This is something I never thought of..I'm in my 2nd trimester and do my nails all the time so use remover regularly.



    To be honest I had to stop googling when I got my BFP I did it all the time and there's so much rubbish out there. Get yourself a really good pregnancy book and use that as your reference instead X
