Ive had acrylic nails for a long time I always take them off for a little and get a new set but this time I havet reay needed a new set and could probly go a few months with these that I have now on... im wondering should I take them off before the baby comes? I don't really think I need to.. but id like opinions other then my familys or ur experiences with them if u had them on with a newborn thanks :)

I had mine done my whole pregnancy got then filled two days b4 i gave birth. I always get them pretty short so i can do things and since i was so use to them it didn't affect me with handling the baby. They lasted about 2months with no fill n then they finally came off. Since i kept them done for so long i gave them about a month break n just last week went n got my nails n toes done it felt good. So if yur comfortable with them keep them sry so long

Omg im so sorry read the questions wrong lol I think since the baby is a newborn I think you will be fine but once the baby gets older he or she is going to be active so I wouldnt get nails then

They should be fine I guess try and keep them clean as possible cuz they harbor germs but I plan on getting mine done and a pedicure right before I have my baby! Gotta look good right lol?

I have naturally long nails & My aunt has had fake nails throughout her pregnancies & after the births. As long as they are rounded out, & kept short enough i say go for it :)
