May your pregnancy go well... do keep us updated.
As for your hair, I wouldn't cut it either. Long hair is definitely easier to pull back & out of the way. Also, with my son I simply taught him from very early on (like 3-4 mos) not to pull my hair. I'd say "gentle" and take his hand, running it gently through my hair. He caught on pretty quickly, and to this day is gentle to my hair & never pulls it. Just be consistent & remind the little one often how to treat your hair.
HTH!

Currently trying CWC to see if that helps my hair- it gets dry very easily. (Seems to be working... still testing this for long term effects.)
Oils: Jojoba. I've tried others (EVOO, coconut, sweet almond), but this is my favorite & my staple now. I use it almost daily. It's also especially useful for putting extra moisture into my hair & taming its frizziness after washing.
Deep conditioning treatment: Alba "kukui nut" organic body oil. Sounds weird maybe, but it works great!
Brushes: BBB, wooden bristle brush, wide tooth comb as needed.
