Pedicures in Pregnancy

Precautions Make It Enjoyable for You, and Safe for Baby


“Make sure you know your salon sterilizes their equipment,” Bierschwal adds. This includes the instruments and the tubs which, if not sterilized, can cause infections. You can also bring your own manicure kit to the salon to prevent exposure.

Catering to pregnancy is a new trend in the spa industry, with pregnancy-specific spas (like Bierschwal’s Becoming Mom) popping up all over the country. Other full-service spas are also adding pregnancy services to their repertoire. These services are performed by professionals, trained to work specifically with a pregnant mother, to help moms feel beautiful—without the worries.

So to answer the important question, yes, pedicures can be a safe way to pamper yourself during pregnancy. Taking these precautions and knowing what to ask when searching for a salon or spa can make the  experience more enjoyable for you, and safer for baby.
