I just found out

I will be going to the dr. tomorrow...anyway I need my coffee did any stop drinking coffee when they found out? Also who is not going to dye their hair? I dont know if I can go w/o dying my hair

Re: I just found out

I was bleaching my hair from black to blonde. I think I am going to use a semi permanent colour (no ammonia no peroxide) colour to bring it back to black. I am nervous about this but my hair looks ridiculous. I am going to try & not get any on my scalp.

Re: I just found out

do you rec. any brand (hair color) I was just thinking of going to the vitamin shop and getting something natural

Re: I just found out

I was going to use Henna, but then I heard that it will most likely turn my hair orange. I was planning to go to Whole Foods this weekend & see what they have.

ETA Plus I am going to wait until my 2nd tri, which is not for a few more weeks.

Re: I just found out

I didn't dye my hair during PG because I was too scared and to me it wasn't worth it.

My dr said coffee was fine in moderation. I cut back but didin't stop.

Re: I just found out

I stopped drinking coffee...but it is fine in moderation (I think 2 cups a day or something like that!) I haven't dyed my hair yet, but my doc said it really isn't harmful if you use semi-permanant just to wait until the 1st trimester is over.

Re: I just found out

I would ask your Dr what they say. I would definitely wait till the 2nd trimester for the hair dye.

Congrats

Re: I just found out

I cut back my usual 2 coffees a day to 1/2 decaf 1/2 caf in the morning...i tried to totally stop but the headaches were unbearable

Re: I just found out

i never really drink coffee, before the pregnancy maybe like once per week and now i dont drink it at all.

Re: I just found out

I stopped all coffee while in TTC, so no more for me. I don't color my hair, but if I did, I would stop until after the first trimester. That's just me though.

Re: I just found out

I lost the taste for coffee for both my pregnancies, but I have read up to 3 cups a day (not mugs!)


as for hair dyes, I think they say it's more the smell than the dye. But I have heard to stay away (I don't dye, so what do I really know)

Re: I just found out

My acupuncturist told me no coffee - my OB says 1 cup is OK.

But my OB said NO DYING HAIR UNTIL AFTER THE FIRST TRIMESTER. He was very adamant about that. My roots are insane but 2 more weeks and I am going to dye it all to match my roots (my natural color), and that will be it for me until after the baby is born.

Re: I just found out

I dyed my hair every 5 weeks from the moment I got my BFP and my doc told me not to worry one bit. I am a naturally dark brown and thanks to the magic of hair dye, I am blonde

Bella came out perfectly fine

Re: I just found out

My doctor said one cup of coffee a day. I still can't stand the smell, so I am still not drinking it.

As for dying your hair. Some people say not at all, some say it is ok if you are in a well-ventilated salon. I kinda think it would be ok since you aren't ingesting it and it isn't for a prolonged period of time. Hell, my boss smokes cigars all day long and I have to be here til until about 2 weeks before I deliver.

Then again, maybe I am bad, I used Jolen bleach too (just once since BFP).
