this may be a silly question, but i am 3 months pregnant and my eyebrows are looking bad. i usually pluck them (get them done) once every 2 weeks, so do you find it dangerous or harmful to get them done seeing i am pregnant?
Thanks everyone! I went and got them done! I just was so unsure! its nice to see how others think about it!
I got my eyebrows waxed all the time when I was pregnant and had no problems at all. Go ahead and get them done.
Hello, I do not think there is any problem..........I waxed my eyebrows throughout my pregnancy and I did not have any problems. Good luck!!!.......and there is no silly questions but the one you do not ask!!!
It's really fine to get them waxed. In fact you can even get your hair dyed now...as long as your're in a well ventaleted area. Crazy huh?
waxing eyebrows shouldn't be a big deal - you are not really doing anything that would be harmful internally--- if you have done it before and are not allergic to the wax it should be fine

I got my eye brows waxed all the way up to having my son (3 days prior) and never heard that there was a problem with it.
I've done it all through the last pregnancy and all through this one with NO problems. You know many people continue with their bikini waxes as well ;-) Some people say you become a bit more sensitive to the pain when you're pregnant because of the extra blood etc but it's NOTHING. If you have any questions always ask your ob-gyn.
It's not harmful at all. I did it throughout my whole pregnancy. Also at 12 weeks you can color/highlight/etc to your hair too...Congrats on your pregnancy!!!!
There shouldn't be. Just remain relaxed. I use a razor to arch my eyebrows. No Pain!!
They are 99 cents or less at Sally's but they do not last as long as plucking or wax

E.,
I am 27 weeks pregnant with Twins and I still get my eyebrows waxed. Unless you have sensitive skin, I don't see the harm in it.
I got mine done every few weeks when I was pregnant. I even got a bikini wax towards the end of my term, when I couldn't see down there anymore. There's absolutely no reason why you couldn't wax. There's no chemical in the wax that could go through your skin to the baby. The only reason you wouldn't want to is if the shock of the pain is VERY stressful to you. Which it wouldn't be since you do it all the time. I looked up every question I had like that throughout my pregnancy. You should get the book "What To Expect When You're Expecting". It saved me tons of phone calls to my doctors office. It has every question you could think of.
I had mine done all the time when i was pregnant. As crazy as this sound i thought women that are pregnant couldnt dye there hair or get there nails done but my OBGYN was like yeah get all that done. But i never did anything to my hair but did get my nails done.
No it's not dangerous I did mine a week before I have my baby. I also color my hair and I did my nails too. I never stop doing anything that I used to do before cosmetolgy speaking. So feel free to fix that eyebrows!!!
not at all. You may find that it is a little more painful because your body is changing and even during a period it can hurt more. But i wouldn't worry, you're not endangering the baby. (I'm a hairstylist)
Congrats!
i wouldnt be concerned. just make extra sure the place is clean, and tools are clean, etc. less worry for infection.
I just started my ninth month of my second pregnancy and I never stopped getting my eyes waxed on wither of my pregnancies. I still do my highlights even. Some women don't when they are pregnant but their is nothing to prove that it is harmful since it doesn't get into your blood flow. I asked my doctor the beginning of each pregnancy and he gave the ok.
Hey, it's no problem as long as they don't use any local analgesic, which I can't imagine them doing for an eyebrow job. I got my legs waxed a few weeks before I delivered, and the only negative aspect was that it was a little more painful than usual.
For sure it's not dangerus.... you have to take care of you, especialy when you are pregnant, because your body will have a looooot of changes!, well good luck and enjoy your pregnacy is a wonderful time.
My name is P. and new mom of a beatiful girl 9 months old. And she and my husband are my bigest teasure.
I had mine done a few times while pregnant, I never really had a problem, once you get bigger though, you may want to find someplace that will let you sit up more.
Hope this helps,

No way, there is nothing harmful about getting your eyebrows waxed. You arent ingesting it into your body at all. The only possible downside that someone might say is if you are in the salon where they are doing nails and stuff the fumes could be harmful. Everything I have read has said that was a myth anyway. But, if there is a long wait in the salon and you do not feel comfortable, wait outside and let them know you will be outside. Otherwise, if they can seat you pretty much right away there is no problem whatsoever. And if that still doesnt help you, you can always go to wal-mart or something and get a home wax kit by Nair. I would recommend having a professional wax them because I did use the Nair kit when I was down on dough and I am no professional so I had to pencil in some areas when I was done!
