...my hairdresser refuses to colour hair during the first trimester and then again from 6 weeks prior to your due date. In between is no problem, except for the fact that preggy hair can react differently to dyes so she says that she always crosses her fingers when she colours a pregnant lady's hair!

I figure she knows what she's on about as she's been in the business for over 20 years and has taught apprentices for years as well. She knew I was pregnant before I did...she took one look at my hair and asked me if I was pregnant....and it turned out she was right!!

Re the snail trail...my beauty therapist says it is really common to get a hairier tummy during pregnancy and she just waxes her customers. Mostly it all falls out after bubs is born. I've already had mine done once 8-[ and it didn't really hurt at all.

Sorry...that's a really long way of saying....try waxing if you can't hang on any longer!
