Should I dye my hair?

I'm sorry, I know this has been done a million times before,but I need a poll so I can make a decision this morning. I usually dye my own hair, primarily to cover the nasty greys that poke out. I'm 7 weeks, and the greys are really bad now to the point that people are making comments Angry. I use Garnier Nutrisse, and have done a tester and have had no adverse reaction. What are your opinions? Thanks

I have my hair dyed at salon using Aveda products but I was told by my hairdresser that the chemicals that were thought to cause probs in pg are now no longer used in good quality home dying kits so they are safe. She also advised that if possible to be extra safe, use foils rather than the skin contacting type of dye as the only issue might be extra skin sensitivity but if you have done the test then I would be quite confident.
Just my opinion though - hope others will be along with their views

I dyed my hair for the first time last week at 19 weeks. I was desperate and very grey Smile I used one from the perfect 10 range, had 20 week scan yesterday and baby is fine. I think it's more to do with you having an allergic reaction more then anything else.

Thanks ladies! I have caved and have given it a go, although I was very careful and tried my hardest not to get too close to the scalp - pretty much impossible! I don't want to look salon beautiful - I'm not that vain, I just don't want the greys to be so glaringly obvious that folk can spot them a mile off and not have colleagues making remarks. If it wasnt for other people, we wouldnt have this quandry - why can't I embrace my grey?
