🦶💅 DYK: You can still treat yourself to pedicures!
Pedicures are totally safe during pregnancy - your feet deserve some love, especially when you can’t reach them easily!
Safety checklist:Â
• Choose a reputable salon with good hygiene practices
• Make sure tools are properly sterilized
• Avoid deep tissue massage on your legs (light massage is fine!)
• Let them know you’re pregnant when booking
Why it’s actually great during pregnancy:Â
• Helps with swollen feet and ankles
• Reduces leg fatigue
• Gives you some well-deserved self-care time
• Makes you feel pampered when everything else feels uncomfortable
Bonus tip:Â Some salons have special prenatal pedicure options with pregnancy-safe products and techniques designed for expectant moms.
So go ahead and book that appointment! Your feet (and your sanity) will thank you. Just remember to speak up about what feels comfortable.
