Is it true that when trying to conceive you shouldn't colour your hair?

I have a friend who just told me this today, and I've never heard this before. If this is true, does anyone know why?

Godammit - I might have to cancel my hairdressers appointment now ...

Boooooooooo

No, its not true.. it used to be though.. as you can well imagine all kinds of weird things were going on (chemicals not good for anyone pg or not) but rest assured you can keep on colour it these days!

If in doubt ask your doc but every info i have (books by midwifes/baby docs )says you can So go on look fabulous, im gonna, lol!!! xx

Happy days. Didn't fancy not being able to get my colour done for goodness knows how long. Yippee - hairdresser here I come!!!

I think there are a lot of things your not REALLY supposed to do while your TTC...but you cant put your whole life on hold right? I think that as long as your not going overboard (drinking and such) you shouldnt worry too much until you get that test result. My opinion.

I even got another tattoo a couple weeks ago. Which they say is a no no if you are pregnant. My 2nd appointment to finish it up is in May, so unless I get my before then, I am getting it finished!

I hope I CANT get it finished

Yeah. Fingers crossed you have to wait a while to get it finished.

good luck xx

Just to add.. ive already told OH im gonna be wearing a little makeup while in labour! its not that im that vain (anyone who knows me knows thats not true), its just i figure im gonna look like shit anyway so ill need all the help i can get.. dont want pics to haunt me for lifetime looking like ive been dragged through hedge backwards (even if i have been)

I had my hair coloured in foils when I was 4 weeks preg...I had a mc....whether the two are related I don't know???? But I won't be dying my hair until I am far gone next time!? xx
