ok so i have been thinking about this for quite some time. i have never dyed my hair when preggers as i have not wanted that chemical exposure, but i have brown hair and i was very good about always going in every 2 months for highlights...well they were bleach blonde highlights...then i found i was preggers, so now my hair color is change to a copper color due to our water, plus my roots are horrible, and i havent been able to go get it colored for some months now...ok after all my rambling...do you color your hair when preggers? Im going to ask my midwife next time i see her but that isnt until december.

Does getting my hair high lighted count? I had my OB and High RIsk Doctors permission!

yes but only with hair dye that doesn't have strong amonia no bleach etc. henna is the best it's all natural :)

Nope. But I don't dye it even when I'm not. I've heard that its ok to do after a certain number of weeks, but I don't remember how many it was.

yup i did at 13 weeks with my daughter and i even called my doctors to ask them and make sure it was okay and they told me that no studies have ever been done so they can't prove that it is dangerous to the unborn fetus so i dyed my hair several times and my daughter is completely normal!

I haven't this pregnancy because of bed rest... but... I did with my other 2! I've done highlights and I've done all over dye. My hair grows fast too, so I did it every 6-10 weeks!

Quoting meam4444:

LOL! I think that it would be better for you to die it than stress over your hair :) I'm 23 and have ALOT of grey, but I don't die my hair b/c I don't like how it looks when the roots are coming in. Plus if I start dying my hair @ 23 I might as well buy some stock in hair die b/c I'll be doing it the rest of my life!
