Pampering while PG...

Not PG yet but trying!

What are your thoughts about:

1) Pedicures - I heard you can get them but you can't have your feet massaged

2) Acrylic or Silk fill-ins?

3) Hair dye - I know first trimester is a no-no. Does it matter if it is dye that touches your head vs. foil high-lites.

Thanks for your feedback!

Foil highlights~ fine (not sure about dyes)

Pedis~ fine, even with the massage

acrylics~ I stayed away from, but I'm pretty sure they are OK

I am not doing any because I don't want to be exposed to all the chemicals and smells. Maybe in the second trimester I might go to the salon one day for color/pedi.

My doctor told me this:

Getting mani/pedi/fill ins are fine

Hair dye- try to avoid actually dying the hair until after the first trimester, although If I really want to he said it would be fine (just not every week). Foils and highlight are fine. My dr. said that there are no proven dyes that will cause birth defects, however, the dye can get into you blood stream if it sits in your scalp.
