Pedicure in third trimester?

Question

Hey girls
I'm just a few days away being in my third trimester (woo!!) I've heard/read all sorts of things about getting pedicures while pregnant, like it can induce labor. Any advice? My cousin wants to go get pedis today and while I'm sure it will be just fine...I can't help but be a little nervous

Answer

The pressure points have to be held for a long time and the person has to know what they're doing and baby of course has to be ready. You're totally safe to get a pedicure at any stage of pregnancy 😊

Answer

I’m 29 weeks and I have had about 3 pedicures since I’ve been pregnant and no problems so far!

Answer

Just don’t allow them to massage you. Either wait they should know. I get a pedicure every 2 weeks and my manicurist knows she cannot massage my hands or feet.

Answer

I never heard that in my life 🤔 is this a real thing?

Answer

You are fine to get a pedi.  It's actually a tradition for my friend to go get pedis together before baby is born.  There is a trigger point on your ankles that CAN trigger labor.  Only if it's worked for awhile, I learned that in massage school.  Not something you need to worry about.  You can ask the person if they've worked on pregnant women before.  Go get a pedi.  Enjoy yourself! I LOVE getting my feet rubbed! Lol

Answer

I got a pedicure at 30 weeks and plan to continue to get them until delivery. The lady doing my pedicure just skipped over massaging my feet and just gave them a nice little rub down. Every pregnant lady i know got pedicures throughout their entire pregnancy .
