Is pedicure safe during pregnancy?

Question

My feet are aching so much and i really want to get a pedicure done. But MIL is saying avoid parlour stuff right now. Is it actually okay during pregnancy?

Smriti Chatterjee · Answer

Absolutely safe, dear. Just tell them not to do deep reflexology massage on your feet.

Yes, it is safe and actually very relaxing for swollen feet. Just make sure the salon is clean and uses clean tools.

I am in my 5th month and my feet have started swelling so much! I really want to get a pedicure but I'm slightly anxious about the chemicals they use. Has anyone else gotten it done in their 2nd trimester?

Oh I totally understand how much we need that pampering during this beautiful but tiring journey! Go get that pedicure, mama, you deserve to feel relaxed and happy. Just ask them to massage gently.

Having lost a baby before, I became extremely cautious about salon chemical smells and infection risks. If you do go, make sure they don't massage the pressure points near your ankles, as some say it can trigger contractions. Better to be safe.

With my busy schedule, a quick pedicure was my lifesaver for tired feet. Just book a hygienic salon, tell them to skip any harsh chemical scrubs, and ask for a light massage. It's totally fine and saves time.

Humare yahan to hum ghar pe hi bade bartan me thoda garm pani aur namak daal kar pair bhigo lete hain. Salon jane se accha hai ghar pe hi feet clean kar lo, safe bhi rahega aur thakan bhi door ho jayegi.
