When you're pregnant, it might seem like you're not allowed to do anything fun, but there actually plenty you can do safely while you’re expecting. Here are five pregnancy "sins" it's okay to commit (but always check with your practitioner first if you're not sure about anything — better to be safe!).

1. You can drink coffee!

You can have up to 200 milligrams of caffeine, or two small cups of coffee, each day during your pregnancy.

2. You can snack on (some) soft cheese

Soft cheese that’s pasteurized is not off-limits for pregnant women. Just be sure to check the label first — unpasteurized cheeses carry the risk of listeria.

3. Go ahead and dye your hair

Coloring your hair is okay after the first trimester as long as the dye doesn’t get on your scalp. Opt for highlights over single-process and tell the salon you’re pregnant.

4. You can still get your exercise in

Working out isn’t something to skip. Doctors recommend 30 minutes of moderate exercise a day during pregnancy. Just run your routine by your practitioner first.

5. You can travel abroad (most of the time)

Overseas travel is okay unless you’re at the end of your pregnancy. Check with your doctor, and make sure your know what the airline's rules are first.

See? Pregnancy isn't all about what you can't do, after all. So take good care of yourself and enjoy the ride!
