It is not advisable to get a tattoo while pregnant or nursing. Although it is unlikely that getting a tattoo will hurt the fetus or nursing infant, there may be a problem with the quality of the tattoo. While pregnant the body is working overtime and cannot spare the resources needed to heal the tattoo properly and will possibly result in a light tattoo. Also, while nursing a woman's body produces antibodies that are to be passed to the infant.

If you are planning on getting pregnant, try to discuss your concerns ahead of time with your doctor. If you become pregnant, inform your doctor immediately. You and your doctor should discuss your health in detail and make medication decisions based on your need for the medication compared to any risks the medication may pose. The greatest period of risk for most medications is during the first three months of pregnancy. Medications may also be present in breast milk. See similar questions...

We have not yet conducted any trials or studies on the use of Dynamiclear during pregnancy. This recommendation is not because there has been any adverse findings but because of the sensitivity of the fetus. Dynamiclear is a "topically" applied solution (applied externally onto the skin) and contains only natural ingredients at safe concentrations. See similar questions...

The nail drops can be used while pregnant or nursing BUT only when WELL diluted. I suggest putting about 3-5 drops in a foot bath and soaking your feet. This will help keep the fungus from spreading.
