Do you dye your hair while pregnant? Any tips on making this seemingly unimportant but equally important for this momma to feel good decision?

Yes, my OB was fine with it. Making sure the salon is well-ventilated is more important than the actual dye itself.

Yup, I think it’s better later in pregnancy but maybe that’s old thinking, because I also remember learning it doesn’t enter your blood stream so idk why timing makes a difference? Sorry only sorta helpful here

I waited until 3rd trimester but google was pretty supportive of just doing it 😄

Talk to your OB, but they will likely be totally on board. Many many moms dye their hair throughout pregnancy and have completely healthy babies. If it makes you happy to do it, I say go for it. I’m 7 months and just touched up my highlights 💇‍♀️. It is nice to feel pretty, even if you’re just at home.

I did it in my 2nd trimester and used no ammonia dye. Both my children are fine. Really, it's whatever you feel comfortable with.

I did bleach+fantasy colors right at the end of my pregnancy for a “cool mom” maternity leave. So not regular dying but zero impact on my healthy babe just as an anecdote.

I used non-ammonia at home hair dye. Especially now since many people aren’t seeing you, why take a chance?

PWC1- I was sharing my opinion and not scientific evidence. Also, COVID times so you risk exposing yourself in a salon.
Thats what I did when I was pregnant. Take it or leave it? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Highly recommend the book Expecting Better that helps debunk some of the common pregnancy no no’s with data

I bought this and lost a little patience... thanks for the reminder I need to try again 🙈

Two of my really good friends at work have had their work dry up in the past few months (because of the Rona). I'm like two months ahead of them on hours, and they're worried about not making their minimum billable requirements.

Feel sort of guilty and try to avoid talking about hours with them. I'm just hoping the firm doesn't give them trouble...

I moved back in with my parents in August, and my mom and stepfather have demanded monthly rent. They are in no way poor at this moment in time, and in my opinion it’s f*cked up to demand your child pay rent. I bought a VR headset a couple weeks back and my mom increased the rent because “I can afford it.” Is this normal? I honestly feel used. Fwiw I’ve worked since I was 13, and hustled my entire life.

I started dating this guy some months before covid struck.. he was literally crazy about me. He even stayed in Hyderabad for months just so that we could meet once before he went on to stay with his family. After that it had been a real roller coaster. He pampered me a lot before and now he hardly talks. We both have switched to different companies (earlier were in the same) and now he works 6 days a week. Sleeps or Vists his relatives or works on Sundays. Sometimes I feel he no longer loves me.

Anyone else ever find themselves in a similar situation?

Hey ladies. I had a miscarriage July 2021 and my cycle started back up not long after. Then in January it just stopped. It’s been 3 months without my period and not sure what could be causing it (I’m not pregnant). My diet hasn’t changed and neither has my activity. I run marathons but I’ve been doing that for years now and it’s never impacted my period prior. I have an appointment to see my OB in a week but wondering if any of you experienced this.

Our baby is due soon so we’ve made the decision that we will only have visits from vaccinated family members (not realizing it would be an issue) only to find out that my Dad will never be getting vaccinated, planned to lie about it AND asked other family members lie to us about his vaccination status too… when we found out and asked him about it, he started to FREAK out. Now I’m questioning if we’re being unreasonable… how have you guys been handling unvaccinated people meeting your newborns??

Facing a tricky situation and never dealt with this stuff before 🙃 - I generally dont smoke/drink, its seen as taboo in our culture and our household. I have a younger sibling who just finished college this week. I know he ocassionally consumes alcohol which tbh not too surprised/worried abt. Recently heard from one of his friends that they are worried about his smoking habit and was totally blind sided. Apparently its been going on for 2 months and he recently upped it to twice a day..(cont)

My step in laws are TERRIBLE. Not directly to me but family dynamic is stressful.

They are all half siblings (4 boys 30-11) so they all don’t care including my partner. FIL also verbally abuses MIL in front of us. Yet they all want to please him constantly. It’s just bad.
