Ladies! Question!

So I'm pretty regular in the salon (every 6-8 weeks) I do have my hair dyed and I do like to get a gel manicure/pedicure about 2 times a month

Is this completely safe to do while being pregnant? My MIL told me I couldn't dye my hair anymore? I mean it does somewhat make sense with the fumes and all that...

    I would just do some of your own research on this one.  There is plenty of research that suggests avoiding confined spaces with fumes (i.e. sitting in a hair salon with chemicals on your scalp).  Some say it is OK to just do foils.  Some say do whatever you want.  

    If you go ahead with the salon/nails, I would just try to avoid being in a confined space.

    What did your OB have to say?  Below are a few things to think about while you perform your own research.

      According to American Pregnancy, it's safe to dye your hair.  To stay on the safest side, you could have it done in a well ventilated area and probably space it out more than every 6-8 weeks.  

    The gel manicure should be fine.  However, the fumes in a nail salon can be terrible for anyone.  I try to go when the place is nearly empty.
