What to know or do

What changes the answer
- The exact ingredient, procedure, body area, amount and frequency
- Whether treatment is medically needed or can reasonably be postponed
- Skin damage, infection, fumes, heat, radiation and medicines used with the procedure
General guidance
When to get individual help
This is a general pregnancy baseline, not personal clearance. Change course and ask for advice if symptoms, complications or an individual care plan make the situation different.
