So Much Qustions Lol
Posted: 02-09-07 17:00pm

Is it okay to sleep on the floor while pregnant and is it also ok to take hot baths? And is it okay to dye your hair while pregnant? I just wanted information for the future also my sister shares the same acount on here she is from calfirona. She uslay helps me out but sometimes she comes over and comes on here to in my name.

Sleep where ever you are comfortable.
Why would you want to sleep on the floor?

Not really hot baths, just nice and warm.

Yes, you can dye your hair but it might not come out the right colour, because you hair can be a different texture during pregnancy.

its not the texture during the pregnancy that affects the color. Its the hormones going through your body come out in the hair reacting with the dye to change the color

When I was pregnant, I got the okay from my doctor that I was aloud to dye my hair.
My hair is dirty blonde & I bought a rich copper color...
The doctor warned me that it would be fine to dye my hair but it might not turn out the color I want.
Needless to say, I ended up with pink hair!!

which change the texture and (usually) make the hair more absorbant and therefore likely to take the color deeper/faster or not at all.
Those hormones can also make your hair greasier, less greasy, coarser, smoother, all of which can (and often does) have an effect on how your hair takes color!

Dyeing your hair won't cause any damage to you or baby.

I wanted to dye my hair back to my natural color which is dark blonde. Right now its a medium brown. My fiances aunt says to wait til your 3 months pregnant because there is something in the dye that harms the baby. So I hope my color can go back cuz she said it can cuz shes a professional and was working with hair for since she was 18 and shes 34 now. So ill see in 2 more weeks

shes probably thinking about the old information on it, people use to think it could harm a baby because it would sink into your skin and into your blood stream, but theyve found (i think) that it is very unlikely for that to happen, also if you dont use perminent dye its even less of a risk

but 2 more weeks isnt long to wait if your still afraid, im still afraid too so dont feel bad, I use to be addicted to dying my hair all odd colours and such, and I really need to dye it again but I am gonna wait until at least after she is born, probably after im done breastfeeding (right now my hair is brown/black in the back and blond in the front, but theres like 7-8 inches of dark brown/black "roots" lol it use to be blue, then pink then its just faded, I cant wait till I can dye it again, its gonna be either green or purple I think)
