Weird things your body does

Pretty self explanatory! I'm interested to see whether anyone has the same weird quirk that I do!

I have a particularly thick/dark hair just below my belly button. Pretty normal, I think everyone has these random sturdy long hairs. But when I am pregnant I get a second one just next to my usual one. It only appears when the pregnancy is going ok though.

I've been pregnant three times:

  1. Miscarriage. I had a positive scan at 7 weeks after some bleeding - saw the heartbeat and everything. Hair going strong. I had another scan at 8 weeks and by then the hair was looking kind of withered and weak. The baby had no heartbeat and I started to miscarry the day after.
  1. My daughter. Hair was there the whole way through. I didn't notice when it disappeared.
  1. Missed miscarriage. I had a positive test but the second hair never appeared. Diagnosed with a blighted ovum miscarriage at 6 weeks. At 8 weeks the Dr thought she could see a very small baby but one week later it hadn't grown and there was never a heartbeat.

Does anyone else have anything like this? I feel like it must be hormonal but it's so weird! I'm TTC at the moment and find myself looking for that second hair in the two week wait 🤣

Sorry for your miscarriages Flowers.

I have two hairs, one either side of my chest on the ribs that grow. I pluck them now and then. I always thought it was a design fault as there is a slight mark where they come out from and maybe they could have been a third and fourth nipple? 😂.

I've not been pregnant but if I do I will look out for the hairs!
