Covering Gray Hair During Pregnancy?

Hi Ladies,

I was blessed with gray hair, or arctic blondes as my hair dresser calls them, at a very early age. Now that I am pregnant I have been letting my roots grow out, but I am not sure how long I can stand the silver!

I have heard that it's not good to color your hair, but there MUST be an alternative or natural solution, no? 

TIA

Color your hair.

(And PS, there are things like henna that are natural. Places like Whole Foods should have options, too.)

The pamphlet from my doctor's office says color your hair during pregnancy. No note on anything specific to avoid, or what to use. If it's on there, I don't think it would be that big of a deal. (Although I just let my sparklers show. Ha.)
Holy heck, we're pregnant again! Please stay here with us little Otter.

We have a heartbeat! 138 beats per minute and measuring right on track. Ultrasound 11/7/12 showed heartbeat in the 160s. Negative MaterniT21 results ... Found out at Anatomy Scan we're Team Blue!

Lost our first (EDD 07/23/12) after finding out at 12 weeks there was no longer a heartbeat.

I'm mostly grey and have been coloring my hair since I was a teenager to cover it. I colored my hair regularly during my first pregnancy and kept my regular appointment last Friday.

Color your hair.
This. My doc said it's absolutely fine for me to continue coloring my hair/work with color and perms full time at my salon. I wouldn't worry!

Only thing my hairdresser said she can't do while pregnant is a perm. I have had my hair colored since finding out.

I color my hair myself; the only changes I made were to wait until 14 weeks, not massage the color too deeply into my hair (to get as little as possible on my scalp) and I turned on the fan so I had more ventilation.

I color my hair and had the same worry about it being safe for baby. I have been doing over the counter semi permanant. It helps with the greys and is supposed to be safer.
