Question -- can I have sex?
If you're healthy, go for it --
unless your doctor says not to.
As your baby bump grows,
you might have to try
different positions to stay
comfortable.
But rest assured, sex won't hurt
your little one.
Can I dye my hair?
Yep! Just follow the instructions
closely, wear gloves, and rinse
your head afterward.
Can I take hot baths?
No, that could be dangerous,
because the heat could raise your body temperature.
Skip the hot tub and sauna, too.
Is it OK to fly?
Sure.
If you've had a healthy pregnancy,
it should be fine for you
to take flights
through your 36th week.
After that, your doctor
or an airline might recommend
against it.
That's mainly to help you avoid
delivering your baby at cruising
altitude, in coach.
Is it safe for me
to get a flu shot?
Yes, and it's
super-important for you
to get one.
You'll be protecting yourself
and your baby
from potentially serious health problems.
Is it OK for me
to go to the dentist?
Absolutely.
Just let the office know you're
pregnant, and tell them
about any meds you're taking.
One bonus perk of going?
Your dentist can ease
any mouth-related pregnancy
symptoms you're having.
Question -- Is it safe to pet
my cat?
Sure.
Just ask someone else to change
Fluffy's litterbox, or wear
gloves and a face mask
if you have to do it.
You'll avoid getting
an infection that could cause
birth defects or a miscarriage.
