You and baby will be 100% fine. If it was dangerous nail techs and cosmetologists wouldn't work while pregnant but they do every day and have perfectly healthy babies.

I agree with the other ladies, no harm done since it isn't a daily exposure. 38weeks+ preg and I have fixed my nails for most of it, all done by myself and both me and baby are fine

I paint my nails about every 3 days. I am 35 weeks plus, no issues.

Don't worry, it's fine to use polish and remover during pregnancy. It would be a different story if you were constantly exposed to the chemicals in those items but plenty of pregnant women paint their nails frequently.
