Hair remover and pregnant?

I have Sally Hansen's Hair Remover lotion. Can I still use this while pregnant? I know there's some acne medication you cannot use, but I'm not sure about this.

Do you think it's ok?

I'm 15 weeks pregnant.

    I use the Sally Hansen hair remover and it's safe. You can check with your doctor to make 100% sure, but I've never had problems using it.

    I am 6 months and I have been using Nair & Veet all along...I'm pretty sure it's ok. The acne meds you aren't supposed to use are different because of stronger chemicals in them--you can usually only get them by prescription anyways. But most hair removers are over the counter, so I'm pretty sure you're safe.

    I'm not sure about that but I use Veet... it's perfectly safe for pregnant women, there's no nasty smell & it's not harsh on your skin
