If in doubt - do without!! Especially in your first trimester...you may want to ask your Dr. to be sure.

When i was pregnant i got them bad on my hips and i always used Palmers Coco Butter for pregnant women or stretch marks and they went away. I works really good it prevents new ones from coming and takes the old ones away, and its not expensive and you can get it at Wal-Mart

Actually, you have no need to worry.  Nature has its way of taking care of things.  Depending on what kind of pills you have taken, I wouldn't worry about it.  I once knew a woman who was pregnant for 12 weeks before she knew...and drank a couple alcoholic drinks every day.  Her baby is a very pretty and intelligent little angel!\n\nBy the way, diet soda will NOT harm the baby.  You should avoid non-nutritive foods while pregnant.  But, when the craving hits, it's better to do the diet than regular (save the calories for a yogurt or fruits).

gosh i hope your not thinking of getting on one? it also depends on how far along you are, but it can cause irritation to the fetus and strong banging can result in miscarriage

Tricholtillomania- i need to write that down anyway i have it. For me i have a constant bald spot on the top of my head i can cover with clippies or scrunchie my hair is almost always up. I pluck my armpit hairs, and if it is a really bad day with stress i do it alot more and if i am alone i will pull pubic hair. I am a wife and a mother and other than my mom and my immediate family no one knows i have it. Mine came when i was in 5th grad and i pulled almost ever hair out of my head... kids thought i had cancer and i lied and told them no i had an elergic reaction to a perm. (thats what my mom thought it was and took me to a dermatologist) i never pulled my hair in front of her. Now i dont even feel it, and sometimes i dont even realize i am doing it. my husband yells at me to stop when he notices but during pleasant non stressful times i can go a long time without doing it. Right now we are buying our first house and our closing is coming with moving and being 6 months pregnant i pull often.

you can lift heavy objects if you are pregnant as long as you lifted them before you got pr.  I know people who have bowled until they gave birth.  I carried heavy manicans up latters until I was 9 months pg. but it can cause strain on the baby if you lift it above your head, or if you don't do it regularly, also every baby and every body is different.  sometimes it's better not to take the chance.  some people are very active before they get pg and have to be on bed rest while they are pg.

When it comes to pregnancy I know that most medically prescribed shampoos for treating lice such as Medi-Lice, Pronto, R & C, Tegrin LF caution the obvious. It is harmful if swallowed or inhaled. This medication should be used ONLY when clearly needed during pregnancy. But keep in mind that it is not known whether this drug is excreted into human milk, so you may want to consult your doctor before breast-feeding, if the problem persists then. \nLindane, another topical shampoo is clearly marked to ONLY use when needed during pregnancy but clearly warns against applying the shampoo to others if you are pregnant, unless it is absolutely necessary and you have discussed it with your doctor. Unlike the others, this medication DOES pass into breast milk and may have undesirable effects on a nursing infant. \n\nSo even if you are not using the above marked brands, you can assume a majority of the treatment shampoos contain similar ingredients. My opinion is to consult your physician, but to use only when absolutely necessary.

Apparantly so. www.activemanukahoneyusa.com says that it is safe to be eaten/used by pregnant women. \n\nI'd really check with your GP though, just to be on the safe side. x

If you don't want the bumps try this.  Make sure everytime you shave you use a fresh blade or shaver.  Make sure you shave in one directions to prevent in grow hair.  You could always try using hair removers.  Nair makes a mousse that smell alright and works well.  You could get a wax.  With that you have to do that at least a day or two in advance.  The mousse really works well.  With anything new you try test it first to make sure you won't break out.  Give yourself a 24 hour test then if everything is ok then proceed.  Hope this helped you out.

I've never heard of that!!! I knew the thing about not getting into a hot tub if you were so far along (I got in one during the first 3 months because I was so stiff and sore all the time but the further the preg. went I just grinned and bared it) But I had not ever heard not to use the massage pads. That truly makes no sense! They have special massages out there for preg women . \nWho told you not to use the pad? Was it your doc...if so tell him you'd like to know more of why...if it was just a friend then I would call and ask my ob/gyn.

When I was pregnant, I was eating a larger than normal amount (for me anyway) of protein for development of the baby.  Lots of calcium, turkey, fruits and veggies.  The eating for two thing.  Plus taking lots of multi-vitamins and perinatal vitamins.  I couldn't stop cutting my nails!  Or my hair!\n\nI don't suggest getting pregnant, but eating lots of protein and taking vitamins did the trick.  \n\nI've heard also that massaging the cuticles keeps the blood flow strong to the cells that produce the nails and makes them strong. Taking gelatin tablets is supposed to be helpful too.\n\nGood Luck!        Or you could get acrylic nails.

no this is quite normal in pregnancy. But if you are really worried then go to your denist and take advantage of free dental treatment whlist your pregnant!

I don't believe it is safe for a pregnant woman to take any sort of bath.  Showers are safer for many reasons.  Water temperature/ slipping/ hard to get out of tub, straining, etc.

I actually prefer using creams like Nair for hair removal. I found shaving to be irritating... it caused bumps and stubble grew back in a matter of days. Waxing, forget about it(yowch!). I find the cream to be quick and efficient, I don't have to deal with razor bumps, and hair doesn't start growing back for about a week.\nThe only downside is that many hair removal creams can irritate the sensitive skin in the pubic area. I'd try it on a small patch first, then see if you feel pain or have any marks after a few days. Do this on the area closest to the stomach, and then on an area close to the inner thigh to gauge how sensitive you are. If you have no pain or irritation, go for the entire pubic area. Take extra care not to get ANY cream on the moist mucus membrane of the vaginal area and certainly not on or near your clitoris. That will hurt...alot.

I love bergamont, it is very relaxing in a bath, it makes your skin feel awake and more alive.  It is also naturally in black tea, it helps to make you feel calm. But you shouldn't use it if your pregnant because it could cause a miscarriage.

You could wax or remove with nair but youd have to do it all the time, a lot of hassle really.\nWhy dont you bleach it? With joleen. Its much easier.\n\nPlus, you might want to find out why you have facial hair, sometimes its a sign of PCOS. Get screened just in case.\nGood luck
