It all depends on how bad the nail infection is. Visit a state registered chiropodist to have the nail assessed. It may be treated in clinic without the need for local anesthetic if the ingrown toe nail is not severe. If the nail is severe than you may have to wait until after the birth for a minor nail procedure involving local anesthetic. Either way visit a chiropodist and for advice on dressing the toe, padding and possible treatment regimes.
