Firstly thank you all for your advice re my change of hair colour :)
The general consensus seemed to be to go for the auburn with blonde highlights.
So when I got to the hairdresser I told her what I was thinking and then she got the owner to talk to me about the colour and I thought Hmmmm.... this is exactly what Trish said in her comment yesterday:
"Ok Janette, this ones right up my alley because I am a hairdresser!!!!
if you visit the same hairdresser all of the time he/she will give you great advice because they know you as a client, but being pregnant generally changes the rules. Often when pregnant at the time when you become really sick of your new body shape you will often opt for a change of hair to feel better, it usually results in one of those "hormonal" emotional melt downs, so NO good hairdresser would advise this. I would recommend a mix of auburn & blonde foils, perhaps a dark blonde & a lighter blonde, nothing to radical, to give you that slow progression towards going a little darker."

Which is basically what the hairdresser recommended too :) hehehe thanks Trish for the heads up!
So here are the results...
(it's hard to get a good pic as the colour looks so different in different lights)
Not quite as auburn-y as I'd planned but quite a lot darker all over and the 'safety' of the blonde over the top.
It's much closer to my natural colour so 'woo-hoo less regrowth!'

And here is a 'Baby B' bump update pic thrown in for good measure :)
So thanks again for the hair help! I wonder what Glen will think when he gets home :)
