I am getting a pedicure tomorrow, and the nail place usually does paraffin wax on my feet (feels so good!!). I haven't gotten a pedicure since being pregnant, and I am currently 8w. Does anyone know if I should avoid the paraffin or if it's safe? I am pretty early on in the pregnancy--not sure if that makes a difference. Thanks!

Hmmm, I had one at 12 weeks of my last pregnancy! I would love to get one now!

I never heard anything about the wax being a problem. I have heard you need to be careful about the foot massage. That's my favorite part but I'd be too paranoid to enjoy it, so I haven't had a pedicure at all.

i'd think as long as it's not too hot it wouldn't be a big deal. your skin might be a little bit more sensitive, but it's not like it is absorbed, it just coats your feet & i don't think there's anything nasty in it. once i got a blistering burn on my foot from somewhere they had it too high, but if it's a place you've been before & like, i wouldn't worry about it. i vote enjoy!

It shouldn't be a problem. It's just hot wax on your feet for a few minutes.
