Theres a family function coming up and everyone is doing mehndi. Im 7 months and wondering if normal mehndi is fine for me or better to avoid. Just being a little extra careful na, anyone applied during pregnancy?
I personally applied natural mehendi during my baby shower in the 7th month and my skin was perfectly fine. I just bought natural leaves and made the paste at home to be safe.
Go for it, but honestly, enjoy the pampering while you can because once the baby comes, you won't even have time to comb your hair, let alone apply mehendi! Just make sure it's organic so you don't get itchy.
I got organic mehendi done for my godh bharai and had no issues. Just make sure you sit comfortably and don't sit in one position for too long because back pain can get bad. Keep a pillow behind you for support.
Yes, but please don't sit for 4 hours getting intricate designs! With my twins, sitting still for even 10 minutes was a task. Keep the design simple and quick so you don't get tired.
I totally understand how much we crave these beautiful traditions during pregnancy, especially for baby showers. It's completely safe if you use organic, homemade mehendi. Just avoid chemical ones as they can cause skin allergies.
Actually, yaar, natural mehendi is fine, but avoid those ready-made chemical cones from local shops. They put chemicals for dark color which can enter your skin. Just use pure organic henna and you are good to go.
I just had my baby and I applied natural cone mehendi in my 8th month. Just make sure you do a patch test first because pregnancy makes our skin super sensitive. Avoid black henna completely as it has harmful chemicals.
Natural henna is safe, but chemical dyes like black mehndi should be strictly avoided during pregnancy. It's always best to discuss with your gynac if you have sensitive skin or any allergies before applying anything.
