What's Safe, What's Not

Hair dye, which is absorbed through the scalp and enters the bloodstream, hasn’t been proven to negatively affect your baby but should be avoided until your second trimester.

While they can be extremely relaxing, hot tubs cause profuse perspiration which brings more blood to your skin than the uterus. This could be dangerous to your baby, so take a short warm bath instead.
