Diet Shakes are intended to replace all or some portion of meals, with the goal of reducing calories. In and of themselves, they may make for a good "Snack" during Pregnancy, but they should not replace a well-balanced Diet.
In general, Dieting for Weight Loss is discouraged during Pregnancy. The Fetus needs a full supply of calories and Nutrients for normal development. A balanced Diet that allows for a total weight gain of about 30 to 35 pounds is usually sufficient for this.
The supplements added to many Diet Shakes present another safety issue. For example, the additional vitamin A in some shakes – on top of the amount in prenatal vitamins – may exceed the daily amount considered safe in Pregnancy.

The dangers of microwave Radiation, much like the dangers of cell phone and other non-ionizing forms of Radiation, have absolutely no basis in scientific fact. Microwave Radiation can't change the molecular structure of anything, because it simply doesn't have enough energy to break apart chemical bonds.
To put it in perspective, plain old visible blue light has many, many times the energy of a microwave, and can break apart weak chemical bonds (this is what causes photochemical smog).
Microwaves actually have less energy than the infrared radiation (i.e. heat) that is given off by our bodies and the earth.
If you want to worry about Radiation, worry about the small amount of UVB light that manages to reach the earth.
That Radiation has enough energy to break apart the chemical bonds that make up DNA, causing Cancer.
Microwaves, at 1/100,000 of the energy necessary to break apart chemical bonds, are closer to Radio waves. All they do is heat up your food.

Too much Vitamin C can cause cell damage in the Fetus.
You should consume a normal amount of Vitamin C when you're Pregnant. The recommended daily amount is 85 mg for Pregnant women age 19 and older. The maximum is 2,000 mg per day.
If you're taking prenatal vitamins, you'll be getting Vitamin C in that supplement. You'll also get some from the food you eat. If you decide to take more, remember to keep the total under 2,000 mg.

A very extensive study a few years ago looked at women very early in Pregnancy.
The study found no effects on the Fetus when moms drink up to three cups of Coffee a day; very few women drank more than that.
A more recent study found an increased risk of miscarriage when Pregnant women drank more than 200 mg of Caffeine per day.

What little evidence there is indicates that getting a Perm or chemically straightening your hair is no cause for concern.
The fumes might be annoying, but the Exposure probably isn't significant enough to have any effect on your baby.
Some hair-processing solutions may use Solvents, and while there is concern about the effects of Solvents on a developing baby, that's most likely an issue only for women who work around Solvents all day and develop symptoms from the Exposure.
