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!)

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!

Just got one yest, tho i'm only 22 weeks along---

I just got one 2 weeks ago and I was 34 weeks pregnant!

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.

Pedis were HEAVEN on my swollen feet and legs!

(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).

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.

i think they're fine. i got a couple while i was pregnant.

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

Oops I voted wrong because I read the question wrong...I have continued to get pedis throughout my pregnancy! Getting one tomorrow, in fact!

You only have to be careful about pressure points in the inner ankles. Most estheticians dont know much about reflexology so i highly doubt they'll hit those points.

Also, try the zoya nail polish brand. They are preggo-safe!
