Is that because of warmings that hair dye migrating through your scalp, through your blood, through the placenta, into your critter? If so, I can tell you that that particular (idiotic) recommendation has been withdrawn. Pregnant women are no longer told to avoid dying their hair.
It's mostly because I don't want to bleach my hair while I'm pregnant. I don't think the bleach will seep into Sparrow, but I *am* sensitive to it at the best of times, and understand that the current state of my immune system is best described as "compromised."
I do many things that people are biased against pregnant women doing, but just don't care enough about having blue hair to make my scalp super extra itchy for a while.
I used to say "My immune system isn't compromised, exactly. It's *busy*." Which wasn't medically true but served to amuse me.
I did all sorts of things that pregnant women aren't supposed to do, either. I have a lovely rant about the dangers of foods that might contain listeria and therefore don't eat them!!! as compared to the dangers of amnio which is a perfectly fine and acceptable procedure. Except that the risk of fetal death from amnio is 30-60 times greater than from listeriosis (0.25-0.5% vs 0.0083%).
