     This is fine for pregnancy and nursing. But please read above about which hair products you need to worry about, conditioner should NOT be applied to your scalp, only the hair shaft, so it would be fine anyways.

         You should check this out for adding volume. It’s really mean for all over and not as much at the root, but it’s the best I’ve found. It’s pregnancy and nursing safe.
