If your lady has not had any previous problems with henna, then
hennaeing her will not cause a problem with her pregnancy.
However...the henna take on her tummy may be very light! Her hands
will stain beautifully throughout her pregnancy.
When I've hennaed pregnant ladies all this summer....even at a few
weeks pregnant, I've been suprised at how pale their tummy hennaes
come out. The only dark tummy henna results were on a lady whose
water broke the next day. As many tummies that I've hennaed with
perfectly good results, I wonder if there may be something in the
hormone changes that skew the henna tummy color.
Liquid latex is an excellent seal-over for pregnant tummies.
Dr Dave says, so long as the lady does not feel "ginchy" about
hennaeing, there is no reason to avoid it on health reasons. But, the
Goddess Lakshmi, according to Jogendra Saksena, takes a dim view of
pregnant ladies, and considers them polluted, and regards hennaeing
them as a serious offence, except for nails and fingertips, and one
henna party at the 8th month of pregnancy.
I do have henna patterns for pregnant tummies... email me if you want
them sent to you as a gif.
