Is dapsone safe to take during pregnancy?
You really need to ask your doctor this because there's no sure yes or no. This is what they say on Drugs.com (a very good site):
If you become pregnant, contact your doctor. You will need to discuss the benefits and risks of using Dapsone while you are pregnant. Dapsone is found in breast milk. Do not breast-feed while taking Dapsone.
Dapsone has been assigned to pregnancy category C. There are no animal data or controlled data in human pregnancies. Experience with dapsone during all trimesters of human pregnancy has not indicated an increased risk of fetal abnormalities. Dapsone should only be given during pregnancy when benefit outweighs risk.
Dapsone is excreted into human milk. Hemolytic reactions have been reported in neonates. Due to the potential for serious adverse effects in a nursing infant, a decision should be made to discontinue nursing or discontinue the drug, taking into consideration the importance of the drug to the mother.

Three pills of 200 mcg of misoprostol if taken all at once is 600 mcg. That dosage is high enough to cause the fetus to miscarry. Even one 200 mcg dose of misoprostol taken at 7 weeks gestation is likely to cause a miscarriage. It is a dangerous drug to take if you wish to stay pregnant!
Can I take menthol during pregnancy?
I have the same question, the best answer I can get from online is: 'Menthol is a common ingredient of many throat lozenges and sprays. There are no human studies on the use of menthol during pregnancy, so its risk is undetermined. The concentration of menthol in throat lozenges and sprays is low, and because of this the risk for malformations is believed to be small. '

Do the fumes of a hair color harm an unborn child?
If you are exposed to the fumes of haircolor in a normal way (for example you are in a hair salon or you are helping someone to dye their hair) then there is no risk, and I wouldn't worry about it. HOwever, if you are excessively exposed to fumes (you are purposely inhaling a bottle of hair dye for some mysterious reason) or maybe if you work in a beauty salon (where you also regularily breathe in hairspray and other chemicals) then this is considered to be a risk, but only somewhat, as many hair stylists work right through their pregnancies without any ill effects to the baby. However, there is a concern about applying hair dye to your own head, as the skin on your scalp can absorb the chemicals and they will travel through your bloodstream and to the unborn baby. This is very debatable, adn the amounts are said to be very small, but all doctors say better-be-safe-than sorry and ask all moms to be to avoid dying their hair during the pregnancy term.

They are basically the same but it's just a different way of taking it. Some people complain of the taste so capsules are a good alternative.

Also I have a link saying that blue works best when taken with black, if you are trying to start labor.

While pregnant is it okay to take st johns wart?
Typically, yes. Check with your doctor first. Sam-e is expensive, but may be better for you. Also, be sure it is "prescription grade" before you buy any herb. "store grade" herbs are allowed to be as much as 40% off with their ingredients while prescription grade cannot be more than 2% off. At least you know you will be getting what you pay for when you buy "prescription grade" and you don't have to have a prescription. It is just a gradeing table. You can get quality herbs from companies like Shaklee, Nikken, Melaleuca, and Herbalife. Keep in mind that the Native Americans used St John's wort to induce abortion.
