Do you think I can straighten my hair??

I get my hair Japanese straightened and I'm due for another round... What do you think the answer is to this one???
I'm in the 1WW right now...

Here is one link I found helpful .. I think that processing (perms, straightening, etc) is considered 'safer' (and up for less debate) than coloring:

Good news: You don't have to abandon hair dyes and highlights throughout most of your pregnancy. Coloring agents can pass through the scalp and into your bloodstream, but in such minute quantities that they are generally thought to be harmless to a developing fetus. The data is limited but suggests that hair color doesn't cause birth defects or other problems — even among people who work with it regularly, such as beauticians, says Dr. Koren. What's more, 'you're not going to have many exposures during pregnancy,' adds Zoe Diana Draelos, M.D., a dermatologist in High Point, North Carolina, who also studies cosmetics and skin medications. Still, due to the lack of direct data, Dr. Koren often advises women to avoid coloring their hair during the first trimester, when the baby's organs are developing.

Animal studies show that hair permanents and straighteners don't cause abnormalities in offspring, but there have been no studies involving people. 'Research conducted in the 1980s suggests that people who work with products have higher rates of miscarriage, but the increase seems to be due to the physical aspects of the job — such as standing for long hours — rather than the chemical exposure,' Dr. Koren says. More recently, researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that the risk of having a preterm- or low-birth-weight baby was no higher for a group of African-American women who had used a hair curling or straightening product during pregnancy or within three months of conceiving than for those who had not used these products.

Keep in mind, however, that pregnancy can make these hair treatments less effective — and even a waste of money. 'Hormones can do strange things,' says Sandra Johnson, M.D., director of dermatology research at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, in Little Rock. 'You may not get the results you're used to.'
