Pregnancy: I would try not to worry about the treatment that you just had. I know that many physicians state that this is an ok practice when pregnant. However, having had children myself, I take a very simple approach. I always tried to avoid any unnecessary procedures, ingestion of unneeded substances or application of anything that was not gentle & known to have risks to my skin. That makes it easy. (:
