I've painted my toes and occasionally my finger nails throughout my pregnancy, but I think I will make sure I am not wearing nail polish by the time we arrive the hospital. I have had friend's LOs try to suck on my fingers, and I felt like the polish would chip off and make them sick! I think I will give myself at-home manis toward the end and just go sans polish. What did you do?
-
I don't paint my finger nails anyway, so I guess I never had to think about this.
-
@Bao: Same, but I did get a fresh pedicure several days before I went into labor--I didn't want the OB and nurses to see chipped polish--priorities!
-
I don't paint them either...Not because I don't think it looks nice, but because I hate when fingernails get chipped, and I know with the amount of hand washing, bottle washing, etc. that will happen, and I most likely won't have time to fix them up to make them look pretty again!
-
I probably wouldn't have worn it if I had a baby who liked to suck on my fingers.
-
I didn't paint my nails. I felt like with all the hand washing, baths, etc., it was so likely to chip, and I didn't want LO to get nail polish chips in her eyes or mouth. I'm paranoid.
-
I don't usually paint my fingernails, but I actually got a pedicure the night I went into labor! Everyone is still convinced that the nail tech sent me into labor :o)
-
I actually started painting my nails when LO was born. My job didn't let me do it. I find it relaxing to sit and do my nails every week. Never had anything chip

Honestly, I think you'd be ok, as long as you're not painting your nails with lead-based paint... Just, make sure the polish is "3-free", which doesn't have all the yucky stuff in it- I think Essie and Butter London are both 3-free, and Julep is too (but their polish sucks big time, especially since you're concerned with chips).

So is OPI

I had a mani to go to hospital with but she started to suck my finger for comfort so I took it off and haven't had another since, such a shame!

When LO was born, you couldn't go in the NICU if you had any nail polish on, so ever since then I don't wear polish.
