If its Hydroquinone, its category c which will may have some risks. Honestly, wait until baby is born. If you can't, lemon is a natural lightener.

I would ask ur doc 1st but I'm almost sure u cant. I get prenatal massages every month. N I'm not allowed to use any of their scented massage oils. Because it can affect the baby. That's is in their policy. So I'm thinking bleach is probably a no go. What does the label on the back say?

Hi there.  Well, it sounds like it would be fine but it is really best to ask your doctor.

Are you trying to lighten spots?  I had melasma during my first pregnancy (mask of pregnancy and had darkening spots on my face.  :>( )  I went to a dermatologist for it who basically said that lightening creams don't really work when applied to a spot. Because it is really hard to get it just where you need it and lightens all the skin around the spot too, so spot is still noticable.  I waited until I gave birth to see if it went away and it did.  One thing that really brings it out more is the sun so use lots of sunscreen.  IF this is what you are talking about.  I also used a really good product that is sold to cover scars and things like that---  it's called dermablend.  It's a concealer.  It really helped--  not too thick but gave coverage.  

good luck
