Pages:  1  2  3  4  

Many women cover their gray by re-touching with hair color crayons, which you can buy at any drugstore. In fact, if you do opt for a completely non-chemical approach to hair care while pregnant, there are numerous options. Michael Mata, CEO and president of Biolustre Inc. recommends BioLustre, a patent-pending hair repair treatment, to pregnant women based on its hazard rating of 0 and its ability to counteract the thinning process. According to Mata, "Hair tends to thin not only because of hormonal changes, but also because of vitamin depletion to the follicles. Biolustre is the safe way to go for healthy, shiny, fuller hair before, during and after pregnancy."

Nail Care
Admittedly, a woman's beauty routine might feel downright spartan when she's pregnant, but there is one area of virtual freedom. You can maintain well-groomed hands and feet. According to Dr. Fawzia Zawahir, a Jersey City, N.J.-based pediatrician trained in maternal-fetal health, "Manicures and pedicures are OK, because nail lacquer is not absorbed into the nail bed."

"The areas of greatest concern are with those products that can cross the placenta," she says. "Things that cross the placenta can affect the way DNA replicates, which may lead to birth defects."

Collagen Injections, Facials and Other Treatments
There is a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) system that outlines the risk associated with certain drugs and chemicals for pregnant women. According to this system, category A drugs carry no risk and category B drugs are not associated with risk to date. However, with category C, drug risk cannot be ruled out. Category D drugs have positive evidence of risk, and category X drugs are completely off limits during pregnancy.
