A member asked:
I was removing my nails with acetone, i think i have inhaled it now im having pains and i'm 6 weeks pregnant... i don't know maybe it's in my head?

Acetone vapor: Acetone is very quickly dissipated after application, so you are unlikely to have inhaled enough to cause effects on your pregnancy. If the pains persist, and/or any bleeding occurs, see your OB provider for an exam and further testing.
