Dunno!
I know lots of people do it though.

I did, all through pregnancy. My hairdresser dyes pregnant women's hair all the time, said no one has ever made an issue of it.

I got mine highlighted (with the foils so it didn't touch the scalp), but I waited until the 2nd tri.

I haven't this pregnancy, really need to! I did with my last one though, a few times. My hairdresser didn't think it was an issue.

I did (and do). As long as you aren't suffocated with the fumes and don't rub it into your scalp you're fine. You can't absorb it into your system through your hair... it's dead.

I did it all the time. Wasn't worried about the minute amount that could get onto my skin, into my bloodstream, then pass into the placenta...

I was told not to in the first trimester and I plan to go get mine colored the day after I'm in the second!

I didn't do it in the first trimester and once I did in the second I made sure I was in a very well-ventilated room (I do mine myself at home)...windows and door open, fans on, etc.

I did highlights at 6 dpo, it's on my list of ok things to do during pregnancy from my doc. I don't really plan on continuing it mostly because of the expense.
