Didn't change a thing!

ETA- I didn't change anything because I didn't feel it necessary. I'm also someone who dyed my hair during pregnancy, though.

I avoid perfumes, salicylic acid, retin A, and benzoyl peroxide

I didn't change a thing - I didn't think anything I was using was "bad"

Then again I also had some drinks, ate lunch meat, and drank coffee

No. Just no facial peels, only gentle enzymes

No. But i err on the side of more natural for my products anyway. Even if I didn't, I probably wouldn't change a single thing. I also dyed my hair while pregnant. All those "bad" things are still bad when you aren't pregnant....just like with most "forbidden" foods.

I didn't change anything! But I feel like the products I use are pretty natural and not to toxic to begin with anyways.

I did change my cleaning supplies though!

I changed nothing.

Retinol is another good one to avoid, I think.

Yup. I only used natural oil while pregnant.

I didn't change anything, I didn't find it necessary to make myself crazy and honestly my doctor laughed when I mentioned it. She said "so I've seen you've gone down the internet rabbit hole" that was good enough for me to continue my normal routine. I color my hair as well.

No put I'm pretty low maintenance anyway.

@LuLu Mom: my doc said the same thing pretty much! He was like well, I prefer to live down here in the real world on planet earth, you're free to come Join me if you'd like! Made me feel so much better! !

yes. first go round i just used cetaphil and bare minerals - this time, I'm using all ava products (non toxic). I switched to switch though, not necessarily just from pregnancy.

I avoid basically everything you're supposed to… except my half cup of coffee in the morning haha (which I was really good about my first trimester but have slipped up lately, but I'm at 25 weeks so I feel okay about it). The major change I've made with my beauty care is avoiding nail polish, which makes me particularly sad around the holidays because I love to do Christmassy nails!

I try to avoid fragrances anyways so I didn't have to change that. I checked with my dermatologist to make sure an acne cream was safe. Otherwise didn't change anything.

I've just avoided salicylic acid, and I no longer paint my toe nails (mostly because I can't be bothered now). I can't wear polish on my fingernails at work, so it's only me (and DH) who would notice my toes, anyway. Not a lot of sandal wearing in Canada in December! I still dye my hair, though, and use the same makeup (Mac) and skincare line (Aveda). However, both of those companies produce products that are considered very low risk, so I've decided not to worry.

I did, yes. Sulfate and paraben free, SLS free toothpaste, and aluminum free deoderant.

I stopped using anything with parabens, pthalates, sodium laurel/laureth sulfate, etc back around the time we first started ttc (so a year and a half ago). But I won't go back to using them once we're done having kids, so I don't really consider that a change I made just while pregnant.

I've switched my face lotion, shampoo/conditioner, and body lotion - but just to more moisturizing versions aimed at dry skin/hair. I used to be more prone to oil hair and skin, but being pregnant has sucked all the oil out of me .
