People are so dumb when it comes to this. Yes, you can dye your hair while your pregnant. As far the "toxic fumes" everyone talks about, if you do it in a ventilated area, you will not die, nor will your baby. The one thing that CAN happen, is your hormones can affect what the outcome of the color is. So if you want to dye it, do a test spot first somewhere inconspicuous to make sure the color takes and doesn't turn orange or green.
My best friend is a hairdresser and worked all the way up until she had her baby and was around hair dye all the time and she and her baby were fine. Its just something else to make you worry about while your pregnant.

I would wait until you are in the middle of your second trimester to dye your hair. Dye it in a well ventilated area. You can also get your hair done at the salon and they have special dyes for pregnant women!

It is up for debate. It is generally suggested to not do it in the first trimester for sure. Some tips are to hilight instead of dye your whole head,etc. Here is a webste that goes over the current issue with dyeing and appears very up to date. Best of Luck!
(Oh & in reality pregnant hairstylists generally never stop using dye)

They say its ok to dye your hair while you pregnant, im 16 weeks & i do mine. The only thing you really have to worry about is how you hair reacts.. Remember, you hormones are out of wack!!!

Sure, just make sure you use a non-toxic dye. I just dyed mine with Kool-Aid; but as that's probably not for you, then you can always just get some henna or something. I've heard that henna is safe for pregnant women and their babies.

It's controversial. Some chemicals are aborbed by your scalp, and anything that goes into your body can reach the developing baby. I personally avoided anything unnatural like that. I also avoided making big changes to my appearance during that crazy hormonal pregnancy time....

Check with your doctor. Depending on how far along you are, it is not healthy. It isn't healthy for a pregnant stylist to apply it after she reaches a certain stage.
