Hi girls,
I'm 7 weeks pregnant and I've been told waxing, nail polish and dying your hair is harmful to your baby, is anybody able to tell me if this is true?

Thank you girls, greatly appreciated! Don't know what I'd do without any of those things, especially the waxing!

I can't go without getting a facial wax, my hair grows back fast and thick.... mostly on the face. Not a good look :/

Waxing is fine, I thought I heard some sort of guidelines for it but I'm not sure. I do my nails, always have and haven't had any issues, and color your hair in a well ventilated area, I've heard bleaching is bad. But if you're really concerned. Ask your OB or midwife (:

You can actually do all of those things. Some recommend not dying your hair in the first trimester just in case though. Also make sure your in a well vented area and if you want you can wear a mask.
