  1. Actually, laser hair removal only stays with you unitl you get pregnant, so you just wasited money on that and there would be no point to finishing it up because your hair will continue to grow.

  2. %27m+not+aware+of+anything+in+those+products+that+would+increase+the+risk+of+birth+defects.+Most+things+you+use+topically+are+absorbed+far+less+into+the+mother%27s+bloodstream+than+products+taken+orally+or+injected.+So+the+amount+of+a+topically+applied+product+that+gets+to+the+fetus+would+be+minimal.%0A%0AIf+you+choose+to+use+one+of+these+products%2C+try+to+minimize+your+exposure+by+using+it+in+a+well-ventilated+area+and+limiting+the+amount+of+time+it+stays+on+your+skin.

  3. No absolutely not, if they knew you were pregnant they would not let you do it.

  4. No. Your just going to have wax or shave.

  5. I+wouldn%27t+and+it+is+probably+pointless+anyway+considering+your+hair+grows+at+a+faster+rate+when+pregnant+%26+congrats+%3A%29

  6. Yes%2C+it+probably+is+safe and+you+did+not+waste+your+time+with+the+previous+treatments.+++The+issue+is%2C+why+risk+it%3F+++You+can+continue+your+treatments+after+you+have+delivered+your+baby+with+no+loss+of+results.

  7. I would wait until after you have your baby. There are no current studies that test the effects of laser hair removal during pregnancy. Also, always ask the advice of your doctor. They will know best.
