Chances are your hair will not.come out the.color you are.hoping for. The extra hormones effect coloring your hair, and lightening is most effected. I have always colored my hair, but decided to go dark during pregnancy. It's much easier. You can always go light again after baby is.born

While there's no proof that the chemicals in hair bleach --like peroxide or ammonia --cause birth defects, miscarriages, or any other complications, there are also no reliable studies that prove that bleaching your body hair is totally safe. Since it's likely that these chemicals will be absorbed through the skin and can reach your baby, it's best to avoid using them --especially in the first trimester, when much of your baby's crucial development is taking place. If you decide to bleach after that, leave the products on your skin for as short a time as possible and keep the room well-ventilated. Copyright 2009

As long as you don't do your roots or get it on your scalp you should be fine. Do it in a very ventilated room and wear a mask, bleach fumes are strong
