To be completely safe, I asked my gynac before doing anything. She said cutting hair is 100% fine, but you should also ask yours if you feel unsure.

I literally got a short haircut in my 8th month because managing long hair was impossible. My baby is perfectly healthy, so don't worry about these old myths.

I panicked so much when someone told me not to cut my hair early on. But then my doc reassured me it's totally normal and safe, so I went and got it cut.

I really want to get a haircut because my hair is getting so messy, but my MIL says it's bad luck. Did anyone else get a haircut? I feel so anxious about these rules.

Yes, absolutely go for it! A nice haircut gives you such a happy mood boost, which is great for the baby anyway.

Practically speaking, hair is just dead cells so cutting it has zero connection to your baby's growth. Just avoid harsh chemical hair dye treatments.
