UNSAFE: Artificial nails and some nail polishes contain chemicals that
can potentially put the fetus’ brain development at risk, so be careful of
what you use. Your nails grow faster and are
stronger when you’re pregnant.
SAFE: Self-tanners only stain the surface of the skin and are not
absorbed into the body. They give skin a nice glow and can
create the illusion of a slimmer figure.
UNSAFE: Hot baths, hot stone massages and body wraps
can possibly cause miscarriages during the first trimester because
the warm temperature can force the mother’s own body temperature
to rise, causing symptoms similar to a high fever. Fever during
pregnancy can also put the unborn baby at risk for developing birth defects.
TIP:
TAKE CARE OF YOUR TEETH:
During pregnancy, hormone levels are elevated,
which allows plaque and bacteria to make the gums more sensitive and susceptible to gingivitis, so visit a dentist when your pregnant.
