    I've been worried about eyebrow & lash tint. I know we're not meant to use hairdye but will this little bit of skin contact matter?
    Cos its getting desperate I'd really like to get mine done!

    And in my opinion massage is fine, but it would be good to have someone who knows what they're doing. My physio is a preg specialist and she definitely does deep tissue, and i'd be lost without it!

    Im not fond of the eyelash tint to start with, the last one I had it really stung my skin.

    Really??? No hair dye? I didnt realise that. What are you supposed to do wait the 9 months?

    I have regular waxes and haven't heard anything about them being harmful. I think you have to be careful of what afterwax they use. I read somewhere the tea-tree is not good if you're pregnant. I always ask for no tea-tree oil in the product and it's never a hassle for them.

    My massage therapist has just left town and I am missing her terribly. I love my deep tissue massage, especially when pregnant!

    The general consensus is that you should avoid hair dyes that sit on your scalp, at least during the first trimester, as they can get absorbed into the bloodstream and potentially hurt bub. I know lots of people who still dye their hair though, and have read research that says that hardly any gets into your bloodstream anyway so there is very little chance that it would do anything. I stick to foils when I am pregnant though as they don't actually sit on your scalp.
