Wait until you see your Dr. I believe it's not recommended in the first trimester/

Everything I've seen says while it's probably safe to dye your hair, most doctors will recommend waiting till after the first trimester. But ask your doctor to be sure. Congrats and good luck!

Congrats! I know how you feel I just had my second child in Dec....my oldest is 6! I was freaked out too! It's ok, it comes back to you after you do everything the first time with your new little one...like baths for one...I was bad at this with my second when I did this the first time...the second time I was a pro! I wanted to color my hair with my frist...but I waited...I didn't feel comfortable with it...if I questioned it I didnt do it. I hope you have an easy and fun pregnancy!!!

Anything that's questionable should wait out the first trimester. I personally did not color my hair at all during my pregnancies, but I also ate all organic and such, so I'm bit more of a chemical-worrier than most.

Call your obgyn and ask them on Monday morning before you color your hair. There are things you can do after the first 12 weeks that are better not done in the first trimester. Better safe than sorry. Congratulations!

It's safe to do so, just be sure that the area is well ventilated.

Oh my gosh!!! Congratulations! I found out today, I'm expecting too!

I think its generally recommended to wait to do things like that until 12 weeks... :)

Everyone is in a different place when it comes to chemicals. To be on the safe side, I probably wouldn't. If you need "something", you might be better off in a salon, where they can give you highlights, using foil, so most of the chemicals will stay off of your scalp. Good luck!

I colored my hair through all 3 of my pregnancies with no problems. The doctor office told me that no one knows of the effects so maybe lay off the first trimester, but I didn't (I am coming in all gray now). I think it is ok. My doc told me after my miscarriage last year that there was nothing I did that caused it, it was doomed from the start, so I don't think that some coloring will cause any harm.

I asked my hairdresser about this when I was pregnant and coloring my hair and she said as long as it's not touching my scalp I'm good. Don't know if I would risk doing it myself especially if there have been difficulties in the past, but that's my overly cautious side talking.
