Is Facial Bleaching Safe During Pregnancy?

Question
Hi Doctor

I am 16 weeks pregnant after a few attempts at IVF. So far everything has been going well.

I wanted to check if it was safe to bleach my facial hairs whilst i am pregnant? I have always bleached my upper lip and the sides of my cheeks, and with the additional progesterone suupplements i have been taking until 12 weeks, my hair growth had increased.

Thanks doc.
