I'm pregnant and crave nail polish to sniff why and how do i stop this?

im 35 weeks pregnant and i crave nail polish to inhale and i do this once a day..i cant stop what should i do...i just love the smell of chemicals is there any1 else like this....I'm pregnant and crave nail polish to sniff why and how do i stop this?
I found this online... You should stop sniffing nail polish immediately....








Hello Alice,





I love toxic smells, such as exhaust fumes, gasoline, permanent markers, and nail polish; they're so much more alluring than the more conventionally appreciated aromas of fresh bread or flowers. What could be better than the rich yet ethereal scent of exhaust fumes wafting by on a sharp winter breeze? I am wondering how bad smelling these fumes is, nail polish in particular. I will often whip out a bottle of nail polish and sniff it, not to get high but because it smells good. Am I killing myself? Does it cause cancer? Your advice would be most appreciated.





Thanks, Toxic Issues











Dear Toxic Issues,





This Classic Alice! answer to a past reader, concerned about a friend who sniffs lighter fluid, should help clear the air for you.





Dear Reader,





Lighter fluid, like gasoline, model airplane glue, paint thinner, varnish, nail polish remover, and even some types of cover-up products, are members of the organic solvent, or volatile organic compound (VOC), family. Like the effects of low-dose anesthesia, the pungent fumes of these chemicals produce a lightheaded and hot feeling. Because of their toxicity, organic solvents can also lead to dizziness and nausea. Many heavy solvent sniffers report altered states of consciousness, complete with visual hallucinations and vivid dreamlike experiences while awake.





For many young people 鈥?especially eleven to thirteen year olds 鈥?inhalation of solvent fumes, also called ';huffing,'; is their first chemically induced high. This makes sense given that these agents are legal, cheap, and readily available around the house. For the most part, light use of solvents for getting high does not directly cause mental or physical harm; since 1970, however, there has been a steady rise in ';sudden sniffing death'; due to VOC-induced heart attacks and asphyxiation. Other problems arise when disoriented users drive, cross busy streets, and do other activities that require sharp judgment and reflexes. Some links have been made between birth defects and mothers who sniffed solvents while PREGNANT.





Serious consequences are more likely as exposure to these compounds rises 鈥?particularly among workers in industrial plants, where ventilation and protective equipment are inadequate. The fumes produced by these substances are taxing to the respiratory system and liver, and can cause loss of consciousness and brain damage in extreme cases. By the way, good ventilation is critical, wherever and however organic solvents in any quantity are being used.

STOP IT do you know you are hurting your baby, you are like a teenager sniffing glue shame on you
This could be a version of PICA - a condition that many pregnant women get that makes them crave non-edible things like dirt, etc. You should talk to your doctor asap. Not only is the fumes dangerous for you and your baby but it could signal that you have a nutritional or hormone imbalance. You dont have that long to go before the baby arrives..... talk to your doctor, get some support and do what is the most healthy until the baby arrives.

    What takes of nail polish other than nail polish remover?

    ahhhh i need this **** off peopleWhat takes of nail polish other than nail polish remover?
    I found that mosquito repellent that has a large amount of DEET caused my nail polish to come off ... but that was not my intention and I can't imagine that it's very good for you.What takes of nail polish other than nail polish remover?
    A file will get it off if you;re desperate, but it won't be pretty. If you have acetone, that's the same thing as nail polish remover. If you do it enough, alcohol might work, or you could try scratching it off. It also might work if you put more nail polish on and wipe it off while it's wet.

    What color nail polish?

    What color nail polish would look good ? Im asian and have fairly tanned skin color and I always have trouble finding colors that look good with my skin. Or what popular colors are nice and what are they called?What color nail polish?
    I think yellow would look nice. Maybe pink/hotpink.What color nail polish?
    i think a light goldish-tinted peach color would look nice :)





    miami peach is a nice one made by chanel. you could probably look in a drugstore and find a very similar color though.


    i've heard gold is popular, but i don't think it looks very nice personally.





    i think long nails tend to look scary. like not stubby shorts, but a little short looks polished and it's easier to keep up with.
    i think black is really in this season, or maybe for summer you can go for a light pink or a really hot pink. maybe you could also try some browns and golds. the best brands i think are OPI, Chanel, Revlon and Loreal are good
    use a lime/electric green.


    beautiful color.





    or a dark purple.


    would look amazing. =]

    uh.. no blue.. yellow no way. Try soft pastels. They are perfect for fall and winter and look great against any skin tone. There's many new pastel tones now, greys, blues, purples, even green.
    I think a nice turquoise would look amazing(:
    red and other dark colors like a deep purple are always stunningon anyone!
    u can use the brand wet n wild or revlon, and pink color would look good on you, or maybe dark brown.
