I actually just went a few days ago (granted I'm a week away from my due date, but still). Maybe if you pick a place like that it should be fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-ever-gotten-a-pedicure-while-wearing-a-child#post-529065 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 13:35:38 +0000 BananaPancakes 529065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did multiple times until he was crawling. Now there's no way. He would never hang out that long. He always fell asleep during them. I think the massage chair was just enough vibration. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-ever-gotten-a-pedicure-while-wearing-a-child#post-529064 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 13:35:16 +0000 oliviaoblivia 529064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: my doc said that the worry about pedis during pregnancy had to do with acupressure points cause contractions and that the polish/fumes were less of a worry than daily pollution exposure. She said as long as the fumes didn't irritate my morning sickness that there was no reason to limit pedicures. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-ever-gotten-a-pedicure-while-wearing-a-child#post-528999 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 12:27:03 +0000 pinkcupcake 528999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did! I went to an upscale, well ventilated salon. It was very light and airy. There were only a couple other ladies too. Just kept lo on my lap (she was just about four months at the time and slept trough it). Now at 11 months there's no way she would sit still for that amount of time :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-ever-gotten-a-pedicure-while-wearing-a-child#post-528955 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 11:47:11 +0000 Weagle 528955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think I would do it. I'm pretty sensitive to the fumes myself. I don't even want to think about what it's doing to LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-ever-gotten-a-pedicure-while-wearing-a-child#post-528954 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 11:45:17 +0000 Mrs. Pen 528954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess it's just me but I so would not do that. They say not to even have pedi's during pregnancy because the fumes can be harmful! So I definitely would never bring my infant. MAYBE if it was a really upscale, well-ventilated salon. But yeah I'd just skip it. If I needed to I would ask my mom, DH or a friend to watch the babester for an hour :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-ever-gotten-a-pedicure-while-wearing-a-child#post-528905 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 10:47:58 +0000 oliviaoblivia 528905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good question!</p> <p>I was thinking about doing that this weekend. Please check back in after you go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-ever-gotten-a-pedicure-while-wearing-a-child#post-528877 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 10:08:04 +0000 wheres_c 528877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: meh, who gives a crap about the side eye :)<br /> I took Benji to happy hour last night (i stuck to soda). I got a ton of side eye, lol.<br /> I totally need a pedi too.I still need to master the art of baby wearing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-ever-gotten-a-pedicure-while-wearing-a-child#post-528873 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 10:05:35 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 528873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never seen this, but I would try it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-ever-gotten-a-pedicure-while-wearing-a-child#post-528861 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 09:54:43 +0000 mrskc 528861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babyjmama: haha don't worry you're not alone! Last pedi was sept and haircut was August. </p> <p>I say go for it! Sounds like you have a good plan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-ever-gotten-a-pedicure-while-wearing-a-child#post-528853 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 09:46:04 +0000 prettylizy 528853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It sounds to me like you have a good plan. Go early, to avoid crowds/fumes. I say go for it!! Every mama deserves a nice pedicure :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-ever-gotten-a-pedicure-while-wearing-a-child#post-528830 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 09:16:28 +0000 Cherrybee 528830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it sounds like a great idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-ever-gotten-a-pedicure-while-wearing-a-child#post-528822 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 09:12:07 +0000 doodlepoodle 528822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: oh how I wish I kept myself up better like you! My sex life would probably improve ;) I haven't pained my toes since September. Yes. Thats a fact. And my last haircut? August. Ugh I need a serious overhaul. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-ever-gotten-a-pedicure-while-wearing-a-child#post-528805 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 08:49:20 +0000 hilsy85 528805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: aww I bet she looks adorable and stylish in it :) Enjoy your pedi! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-ever-gotten-a-pedicure-while-wearing-a-child#post-528803 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 08:47:48 +0000 PrincessBaby 528803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: I'll let you know how it goes! She's pretty calm in the Bjorn, she'll just look around until she falls asleep on my chest, so hopefully all will go well! And we got a new hot pink bjorn from NBD that we're looking to try out;)</p> <p>@rachiecakes: Good to know! I was a little worried I'd get some Side Eye but hopefully they've seen this before! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-ever-gotten-a-pedicure-while-wearing-a-child#post-528798 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 08:44:17 +0000 rachiecakes 528798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't myself but I've seen plenty of moms at my salon with Moby wraps :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-ever-gotten-a-pedicure-while-wearing-a-child#post-528790 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 08:35:34 +0000 sorrycharlie 528790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I probably wouldn't, only because around here they are pretty fume-y and it's freezing so they can't open doors or windows. I'd also be really bummed if she melted down/blew out/wanted to eat/etc while I was in the middle of it..cause that would totally defeat my purpose of wanting to relax! haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-ever-gotten-a-pedicure-while-wearing-a-child#post-528787 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 08:32:56 +0000 hilsy85 528787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really want to try this! I am in desperate need of a pedi. But I would also worry about the fumes, since it's cold here so the windows are all closed. I say go for it as long as it's well ventilated. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-ever-gotten-a-pedicure-while-wearing-a-child#post-528783 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 08:27:49 +0000 DillonLion 528783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the concept but the place I go to has so many fumes going on that I wouldn't feel comfortable </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-ever-gotten-a-pedicure-while-wearing-a-child#post-528782 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 08:26:33 +0000 JerricaBenton 528782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: Perfect! It'll probably be so relaxing! And maybe she'll sleep if it is nice and quiet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-ever-gotten-a-pedicure-while-wearing-a-child#post-528779 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 08:23:03 +0000 PrincessBaby 528779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JerricaBenton: I was thinking of making the first morning appt tomorrow when it's pretty empty to avoid a lot of fumes or crowd! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-ever-gotten-a-pedicure-while-wearing-a-child#post-528776 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 08:20:19 +0000 JerricaBenton 528776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As long as it was a well ventilated salon I think I would do it! Sit close to a door or window or ask for a small fan to blow dust and fumes away from LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-ever-gotten-a-pedicure-while-wearing-a-child#post-528772 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 08:17:15 +0000 PrincessBaby 528772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I am thinking of doing this. We live in FL and it's always flip-flop weather here... I hate painting my own toes, so I get pedicures every few weeks. Right now, my toes &amp; feet look like a pack of wild dogs got a hold of them. I'm considering putting my 8 wk old in the Bjorn and getting a pedicure so I can feel a little more normal!</p> <p>My feet are really embarrassing right now!</p> <p>Would you or have you done this or something similar? </p> <p>Oh yeah, DH is gone thru the 31st so no one to watch LO... </p>
