Threading your eyebrows during pregnancy, specifically at 21 weeks, is generally considered safe for the baby, as it's a superficial procedure that doesn't involve any chemicals or invasive techniques that could harm the fetus; however, it's essential to ensure the threading salon follows proper hygiene and sanitation procedures to minimize the risk of infection.
