    you can get foils,color or anything the whole way through your pregnancy and it will not harm you or baby,most hairdressers get told this when they go to trade scholl,so go for it!!

    Nails are fine too, I had mine done all the way through both pregnancies. I asked my nail technician & she had spoken to her OB (we were pregnant together) and he said it was fine for her to work fulltime doing it so I figured an hour every three weeks was fine for me

    Thanks for asking that Ange!!

    I've got re-growth down to my knees, and have been wondering the same thing, but like yourself, I keep forgetting to ask Dr!!

    At least now I can rest assured that while I might be feeling emotional, over-tired, sore, over-whelmed etc etc, when bub's arrives, at least my hair will look damn good lol

    Im a hairdresser & I hadf my hair done numerous times during my PG, as have a lot of my friends and our bubs all turned out fine.
    If you are concerned just stick to foils because the colour isnt on your scalp

    I asked my hair dresser this as well. I was about 8 weeks along when I saw her. She said that pregnant women are usually more sensitive to strong smells and the scalp is extra sensitive. I end up getting my hair done and just breathed through a tissue when the smell got too much. I had peroxide as I was going blonde. I have had it done twice now and everything seems fine. But have the main scan tomorrow. I opted to stop with the nails as I didn't like the idea of being stuck with the smell for an hour a fortnight. It took a while for my nails to recover but now I am pleased I endured it as they are quiet lovely now. Plus I am saving that money to spend on the baby.
