I’m 4 weeks and 1 day with baby #1. I’m going on vacation next week, so I scheduled all of my normal salon appointments for this week before I knew I was pregnant.

I get highlights once every 8 weeks, Brazilian wax every 3-4 weeks, and gel manicure/pedicure every 3 weeks. I also scheduled a spray tan because I’m pasty white and going to the beach next week.

I have an appointment scheduled with my OB tomorrow and I’m going to ask her about these things, but I was wondering if others are planning on continuing their salon services during pregnancy. I’m trying not to let my vanity get the best of me because I obviously don’t want to do anything to harm the baby. I know the wax they use at my salon is all natural. The spray tan solution is also all natural, but it has aloe vera in it, which I’ve read can be harmful.

Does anyone have experience with this?
