Anyone else got a beard?!?!?!?!????

Rather embarrasingly, I have a beard. It is fluffy white hair, but when I put make-up on I have to be very careful to rub it in well so as not to highlight my beard.

I had this last time I was pg too, but was convinced it was because I was having a boy and had boy hormones in my body. I'm having a girl this time.

I have just noticed the beard now at 20 weeks. Blush Blush Blush

Just had a look and feel - no beard here. Oh - but my tache is a little more fullsome.

No beard here but I do have a hairy belly!

I have a hairy belly and neck (?!) and big rougue hairs all over my body, but, oddly enough, my leg and underarm hairs have slowed right down - I only need to shave once or twice a week now. I just assumed it was an odd pregnancy thing.

No beard but HUGE eyebrows, never plucked before will have to learn. [hblush]

oh noooooo sarah poor you! i did think i noticed a few very light hairs around the corner of my mouth. i actually plucked one out which felt a bit risky (what if it grows back thicker?!) but not seen any more. i also have a hairy belly - again the hairs are very fair and downy. guess this is normal and just another of those "lovely" pregnancy side effects....

It's not just me then! Have horrid BRISTLY beard. Can be a bit hairy (yuk) due to PCOS but it all goes crazy in pg. V embarrassing.

ellesbelles79 · 26/10/2010 13:52

yes me too & it doesnt actually make any diff if you are having a boy or a girl. When you are pregnant it just plays havoc with your hormones & so you do get hairer...and not just on your scalp unfortunately!

Im quite pleased about having nice thick locks but Im having to shave my belly on a daily basis! I shave in the morning & by evening I have stubble... Shock

No beard here but my eyebrows carried on up to my hairline!

PaigeTurner · 26/10/2010 14:47

Pre-pg I had to thread/wax my tache and beard (lovely) every few weeks - since I've been pg I've done it maybe once or twice in total. Making me think something wasn't right with the old hormones beforehand...

I thought boys made you more hairy too?!

lennon80 · 26/10/2010 16:15

I have noticed the down on my face is thicker and that my belly is 'fluffy' now too! I bloody hope that goes as soon as my little fella is born!

StrangewaysHereICome · 26/10/2010 17:50

Oh I am growing a fluffy white beard too - I just couldn't admit it til I read this [hblush]!!

I'll be looking like Santa in time for Christmas [hshock]!!

Yellowflowers · 26/10/2010 18:04

yes - except mine dark brown not white. It's not fair - waaaaaillll!

BeetleBaby · 26/10/2010 18:22

No beard here (as yet) but I'm developing quite a 'tach...thinking of going for the full handle bar look if it carries on. As for my tummy I'm rivaling an Old English Sheep Dog! I haven't succumbed to shaving it though, mostly because I can't be bothered, but also because my hair is so dark and skin so sickly pale looking I think the stubble would be worse! At least it's nice at soft for now [hgrin]

I am 4wks+3 and I have a 'tash growing. It has been the only thing I have noticed. Luckily DH has been away on business and I had it waxed during lunchtime. I have 1/4 Greek and I am worried I will be a gorilla by the end of this.

slimyak · 27/10/2010 13:42

I too am developing a fluffy face and belly. I do have dark hair but thankfully it's coming though fair. My eyebrow's on the other hand - bit Dennis Heeley!

This happened last time too, so I can give the reassurance to those experiencing this for the first time, that it will be gone by the time you surface from the post birth new baby fug.

Yellowflowers · 27/10/2010 13:54

My pubes come to my knees almost!

Diamondback · 27/10/2010 16:40

Hairy, fluffy face and belly! My DH keeps stroking the face fuzz and cooing 'look at your beard!'

Hair on head is growing like mental too - i had it cut two weeks ago and it needs doing again - I look like the Dulux dog!
