Are you not? I blow dried my hair every other day when I was pregnant and babes was fine, and went to the hair dressers when I was 6 months to get cut, coloured washed and dried and they never said anything.    Your not to get your body temp above a certain temp but blow-drying wouldn't elevate your body temp at all, just your head temp.    The only damage it will do is dry out your hair, as it would when you weren;t pregnant.    You will only be pointing the hairdrier at your head, not at your stomach, so it won;t hurt x
