What is not recommended in early pregnancy?
If you lead a healthy life and practice sports normally, you don’t need to abandon your routine, but you can do it in a more relaxed way.

Another very common question in prenatal consultations is related to hair care. Not everything that was used in your day-to-day life can be used now, especially dyes that contain ammonia, straighteners and chemicals in general, especially at the beginning of pregnancy, as experts believe that the products when in contact with the scalp absorb the product going directly into the bloodstream, which can affect the baby that is in the development phase.
