14w+ safe to do hair treatments?

Currently feeling very insecure due to my recent haircut gone wrong. Would like to check is it safe to do any hair treatment for straightening at this stage of pregnancy? 😥 P.s. my belly feels like its already big like 5-6 mths belly altho I’m barely 3 mths… is something wrong :’(

Aw I totally understand wanting to feel good about yourself, especially when you're going through changes! The good news is that most mums I know have had hair treatments during pregnancy without issues, haircuts are definitely safe, and for straightening, protein treatments like Keratin or Mucota seem to be the gentler route that more people are comfortable with during this time. The key thing is avoiding the really strong chemical relaxers if you can, and making sure your salon has good ventilation. That said, every pregnancy is a bit different, so it's worth running it past your gynae just to be safe, especially since you want complete peace of mind. On the belly thing, that's actually quite common! Some mums just show earlier, or it could be bloating mixed with how your muscles are shifting. But since you're a bit concerned, definitely mention it to your doctor at your next visit so they can check everything's on track. Might put your mind at ease!
