Using bleach during pregnancy has not been known to increase the risk of birth defects, but there has not been enough studies done to confirm. If you do choose to use bleach on your hair or skin, wash the area with cold water beforehand to keep pores small and to minimize the risk. Make sure you are in a well ventilated area. Also, it is best to limit the amount of time you leave the product on your skin. Always discuss any possible risks to using bleach during pregnancy with your physician. Updated: 07.28.10
