Can I do manicure while pregnant?

Nowadays, many people are tirelessly pursuing beauty. Even small nails can be made into different styles through manicure. Of course, manicure can make people beautiful, but not everyone can do it. For example, it is not recommended for pregnant women to do manicure. So, why can't pregnant women do manicures?

1. Can pregnant women do manicures?

As for whether pregnant women can do manicure, it is necessary to judge based on the ingredients of the manicure. Generally, nail polish contains pigments, formaldehyde, benzene and methanol. Benzene has the effect of paralyzing the human nerve center, which may cause people to have difficulty breathing; methanol can seriously damage the human liver and kidney systems. Long-term use of items containing methanol can also cause moderate symptoms such as nausea and headache; pigment is also a very bad element for women, as it can induce some pathological reactions in people's nails. Therefore, pregnant women are even less likely to get manicures, because compared with normal people, their systems are more fragile, so they are more susceptible to the harmful substances in nail polish.

2. How should pregnant women beautify their nails?

If the pregnant woman is in the preparation period for the wedding, she can use appropriate methods to replace the effect of manicure, such as sticking sequins or stickers on the nails, or directly drawing patterns on the nails with a non-toxic brush, etc. Doing so can not only achieve the effect of manicure, but also prevent the harm of nail polish to yourself.

3. Things you should not do during pregnancy

Wearing contact lenses: The water content of the cornea of ​​pregnant women is higher than that of ordinary people. If they wear contact lenses, it is easy for the cornea to edema due to lack of oxygen, which can cause corneal inflammation, ulcers, and even blindness. At the same time, the corneal curvature of pregnant women will also change with the pregnancy cycle and personal constitution, causing the degree of myopia to increase or decrease.

Eat tender hot pot: According to inspections and measurements by relevant departments, the infection rate of Toxoplasma gondii in the sheep herd is 61.4%. The larvae of Toxoplasma gondii often hide in the cells of infected mutton, and the short-term heating when eating hot pot cannot kill the Toxoplasma gondii larvae parasitic in the cells of the meat. After eating, the larvae can pass through the intestinal wall in the intestine and spread throughout the body with the blood, and be transmitted to the fetus through the placenta. In severe cases, miscarriage, stillbirth, or affect the development of the fetal brain, resulting in deformities such as microcephaly, macrocephaly (hydrocephalus) or anencephaly.

Take a hot bath: High fever can cause fetal nerve cell death and reduce the number of brain nerve cells during the ninth month of pregnancy. Brain nerve cells cannot regenerate after death and can only be replaced by glial cells. These glial cells lack the physiological functions of nerve cells, thus affecting intelligence and other brain functions, causing children to have low intelligence and poor reaction ability.
