On the ‘is it normal’ podcast, the obstetrician says it is safe to get your hair dyes during pregnancy, but advises its best to either go to a salon or have someone else do it for you so you’re not prone to breathing the fumes of the hair dye.

Yes it’s fine. They used to think peroxide was damaging but this has since become wrong.

Its safe but Non scalp application is always best. So like highlights are fine and try to avoid all over colour if you can.
Only because you can sometimes develop random allergies to things when pregnant.

But if doing it at home then make sure you are in a well ventilated area.

I did mine at home with natural instincts dye just don't leave it in too long plus it doesn't have any smell

It’s all good to have your hair dyed at any stage! The smell might make you feel queasy if your currently going through the string sense of smell but otherwise safe! 🫶

Lost friends since being a mum

Good morning! Can anyone relate to this!

My two friends and me have always been close since our early teens. I’m the first to have a baby.

One friend has big house, career and boyfriend

Other out of a long term relationship and being single having fun etc

Before baby we would all hang at my
Apartment, chat eat and just have
Fun.

Now I don’t even get a text to ask how my baby is, how I am. I really thought they would be awesome aunties. But honestly they don’t care.

They meet up a lot to do cool things, which I can’t be upset about as I can’t as I have my baby.

I don’t know I feel sad about it.

Am I over reacting?

Work + baby?

If anyone knows anything please reach out. I just want my baby to be safe but living in this economy with one income is just impossible. Please fellow moms im begging for anything!

Advice

Ok so I had this friend and she would always talk about how it was so embarrassing to post your face on tinder or any kind of dating/friendship platform because it makes you look desperate. This has stuck with me soo much over the years, I always post anonymously. I really want a friend just 1 friend that I can go out n do stuff with and we just click but I refuse to post my face on any friendship platform, also because I might see someone I know and I literally HATE the idea of that. I feel so stuck, because I’m not the type of person to go out a lot I go to work and come home and when I do go out to parks and stuff there’s literally never any moms that try to strike up conversation. I really wanna get on bumble bff to try it out but it makes it to where you have to post your face. PLEASEEE any advice would help. I get bumble bff go through the people and then I delete it within like 5 minutes because I see someone I know.
