Most estheticians dont know much about reflexology so i highly doubt they'll hit those points.</p> <p>Also, try the zoya nail polish brand. They are preggo-safe! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-stop-getting-pedis-when-preg#post-219428 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 20:36:35 +0000 Andrea 219428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: omg i voted wrong, too, but I just clicked the wrong button!! I got them throughout my last pregnancy and am getting them this time, too. I think it's fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-stop-getting-pedis-when-preg#post-219412 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 20:32:10 +0000 hilsy85 219412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oops I voted wrong because I read the question wrong...I have continued to get pedis throughout my pregnancy! :) Getting one tomorrow, in fact! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-stop-getting-pedis-when-preg#post-219405 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 20:31:11 +0000 petuniasandpearls 219405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get pedicures every 3-4 weeks and have continued that routine all through my pregnancy so far :) I do usually request to sit near the door because the fumes bother me, but since I go to the same place all the time its never been an issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-stop-getting-pedis-when-preg#post-219393 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 20:28:39 +0000 sulli301 219393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a few while I was pregnant last time :) I haven't gotten ANY yet this time, DD keeps me busy, but want to soon! It IS summer after all :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-stop-getting-pedis-when-preg#post-219388 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 20:27:16 +0000 Sweet T 219388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got them once or twice a month while I was pregnant. It was my way of treating myself. Not to mention, that I couldn't reach my toes towards the end. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-stop-getting-pedis-when-preg#post-219129 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 19:03:43 +0000 Mrs. Bee 219129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think they're fine. i got a couple while i was pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-stop-getting-pedis-when-preg#post-219061 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 18:38:21 +0000 lovehoneybee 219061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't get them often (but I didn't pre-pregnancy), but I can't comfortably reach my toes any more--and my poor heels are so cracked and dry I need them to fix them. My MIL and I have a date to get one next week (somewhere between 36-37 weeks). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-stop-getting-pedis-when-preg#post-219000 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 18:12:54 +0000 photojane 219000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'm only 9 weeks, but i plan on getting them the whole pregnancy. i'm so obsessed with them that i have to go every 2-4 weeks. if i don't go there at the end, my dry, rough feet will be cutting some nurses during labor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-stop-getting-pedis-when-preg#post-218984 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 18:03:17 +0000 Boogs 218984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did, towards the end I especially tried to get them pretty regularly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-stop-getting-pedis-when-preg#post-218925 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 17:38:25 +0000 matador84 218925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i am all over pedis...once a month for sure. i just can't bear to give them up because my feet and legs have gotten so fat! i told my husband i might have to buckle down and get them 2x a month instead of just once! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-stop-getting-pedis-when-preg#post-218916 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 17:29:13 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 218916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! I got waxed too hehehe cuz I didn't want a bunch of hair down there while I labored.... Tmi?? :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-stop-getting-pedis-when-preg#post-218897 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 17:12:16 +0000 yoursilverlining 218897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got them through pregnancy, including during week 39. It's a pretty specific point on your foot that needs to be massaged to possibly induce labor - so, IMO it's extremely, extremely unlikely that a spa tech would find that specific spot and spend enough time massaging that small area, especially if you go in for quick pedicures. </p> <p>Pedis were HEAVEN on my swollen feet and legs! </p> <p>(as an aside, I looked up all the pressure points that will supposedly possibly induce labor and my husband and I tried them ALL for days and got zero results. Had a c-section at 40+2). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-stop-getting-pedis-when-preg#post-218845 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 16:32:33 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 218845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I kept geting them!</p> <p>I actually had a pedicure at 37 weeks AND at 39 weeks (not purposely to induce labor) and nothing happened. I ended up having to get induced.</p> <p>I am pretty much a firm believer in that the baby is going to come when he or she wants to... not when mom gets her feet rubbed/eats spicy food/bounces on a ball, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-stop-getting-pedis-when-preg#post-218842 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 16:27:52 +0000 banana 218842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just got one 2 weeks ago and I was 34 weeks pregnant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-stop-getting-pedis-when-preg#post-218840 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 16:26:40 +0000 sorrycharlie 218840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hah, before pregnancy, the only time i got a pedi was for a wedding or something. now i treat myself monthly :) it's HEAVEN! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-stop-getting-pedis-when-preg#post-218830 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 16:12:54 +0000 mrsjyw 218830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just got one yest, tho i'm only 22 weeks along--- :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-stop-getting-pedis-when-preg#post-218813 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 15:52:23 +0000 eeh 218813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just scheduled a pedi for the 27th...and I'm hoping it DOES induce labor. :) I trust the girl I go to and am confident she knows which areas to avoid to not induce labor too early. I will be 38.5 weeks though so I'm not too concerned about it starting labor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-stop-getting-pedis-when-preg#post-218812 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 15:52:22 +0000 dookie32 218812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Of course- I couldn't reach my own feet :). I wish it had induced labor- I would have tried it when I was 10 days overdue! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-stop-getting-pedis-when-preg#post-218808 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 15:49:21 +0000 Rubies 218808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I regularly got pedis - loved! I got one a few days before I went into labour. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-stop-getting-pedis-when-preg#post-218804 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 15:47:43 +0000 LuLu Mom 218804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not as far along,but my doctor encouraged pedicures to help with blood flow/circulation! Yes, there is a pressure point in the foot that can induce labor, if you are worried just have them skip the massage part behind the ankle/foot (even though that's my favorite!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-stop-getting-pedis-when-preg#post-218801 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 15:44:17 +0000 matador84 218801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know I read about this on another thread somewhere but couldn't find it.</p> <p>33 weeks tomorrow and so many people have said to stop getting pedis because it can cause early labor. My doctor said it was fine, so I'm just going with him, but I know some other doctors have said no.</p> <p>Did you get a pedi while pregnant? If you did, did you make it to your due date or go early and think that is a reason you went into labor?</p> <p>I am so paranoid this baby is going to come early! Someone (a good friend so I didn't take it personally) told me today it looks like I'm carrying LeBron James in my belly! Ha! </p>
