i bleached my hair and then used a toner on it, i did the best i could to be in a well ventilated area but im still worried that the bleach absorbed into my scalp or that he fumes caused harm to my baby. am i just being paranoid? can using nail polish cause a risk? im 24 weeks pregnant. ↓

You should be fine, the fumes are minor as long as you are in a ventilated area. The not dyeing your hair during pregnancy is from the 40-50's when hair dye had arsenic in it. There should be very minimal amounts of any toxins absorbed through your scalp-manufactuers are very careful about that anymore. Try not to worry, everything will be ok. ↑

Don't even give it a second thought. I am sure your little one is fine. ↑

Since you are out of the first trimester, you really shouldn't worry. Nail polish is fine. ↑
