Question 1

5 weeks pregnant can i colour my hair?

Accepted Answer

After trimester #1: There are some hair dyes that are safe to use in pregnancy, but it is best to wait until after one's first trimester is complete. This is when the baby is developing the most, and it is crucial nothing interferes with the process. Also, hair coloring is not required in life, so if one wants to skip it during the entire pregnancy, that would be just fine.

Question 2

hi i am 5 weeks pregnant, can i color my hair?

Accepted Answer

Depends on hair dye: Depending on the hair dye you use, some are safe in pregnancy and others are not.  The amount of systemic absorption, assuming you have no open sores in your scalp, is minimal, however...You need to research the brand you want to use and assure it is safe in pregnancy.

Question 3

i am 5 weeks pregnant.  is it ok to get highlights in my hair or just colored?

Accepted Answer

Postpone.: This is the most critical period for your fetus' organ development and you should do all you can to avoid potential toxic exposures. Although no good evidence proves that having highlights or hair dying is teratogenic, i would recommend postponing this until after the pregnancy so as to avoid regrets and second thoughts. Better safe than sorry. Take Folic Acid 1-5 mg daily and good luck!

Question 4

im 5 weeks pregnant with a bad ingrown hair in my bikini area. i popped the pimple to remove the follicle and left a small wound. i sprayed it with disinfecting alcohol spray (rubbing alcohol)... but now im worried the alcohol went into my blood?

Accepted Answer

I wouldn't: Surface application of sprays/lotions/creams do not penetrate the skin deep enough to achieve any blood level of any significance. Even to an open wound. I would not lose any sleep over this.

Question 5

about 5 weeks pregnant & waking up with body aches. head, kneck, back. is this a type of symptom or? is it common?

Accepted Answer

Common: Your posture changes when you get pregnant. This causes the muscles to have to tighten. This leads to body and especially headaches.

Question 6

i'm 39.5 weeks pregnant and baby is measuring 39w for belly but only 36w for head.  should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

No: This is not a large discrepancy and well within error limits for these measurements.

Question 7

im 5 weeks pregnant ive been cramping on and off for about 3 weeks, im nauseous, and my head hurts. is this normal??

Accepted Answer

Need gyn exam+sono: It would be wise to seek a careful evaluation and exam by a gynecologist and to request a blood betaHCG level and pelvic sonogram by a certified sonographer as soon as you can.

Question 8

i got in a severe car accident, it was a head on collision at 65 mph, i only have bruises, but i am 5 weeks pregnant should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Here are some....: Of no doubt, you have been lucky with adequate recovery from severe MVA. At this time, you should be just fine as long as having no vaginal bleeding. Meanwhile, go for prenatal check-up soon; thereby, you could be more reassured.

Question 9

i'm 5 weeks pregnant and my 9 months old fell back and his head hit my abdomen while i was laying on my back. should my unborn be ok? wouldn't i cramp/bleed if there was a problem?

Accepted Answer

: The fetus at that stage is tiny and surrounded by protected layers of tissue/fluid that buffer any trauma. Without the signs you mention I would not consider the event as described a problem for your unborn.

Question 10

real bad head ache and 5 weeks pregnant lower back pain and cramping and blood clots the size of golf balls?

Accepted Answer

Bleeding pregnant: You maybe miscarrying call you doctor or go to ER today as soon as possible as you can get very weak from blood loss and may be losing a lot and may need IV fluids. Go to ER now .
