Is Inhaling Nail Paint During Pregnancy A Cause For Concern?
I m very scared, I am 16 weeks 4 days pregnant with my first child. I have a habit of painting my nails when the nail polish starts to come off. I had been working so much that I haven t until tonight. I breathed so much in and now i feel like it is stuck in my nose. I had read that it could cause birth defects, miscarriage, and or still birth. I am very very scared. Should I go to the ER?
