Has anyone else gone really hairy?

I epilated legs and underarms yesterday. The stuff seems to be growing thicker and faster than normal.
The worst bit though is my belly, it's covered in a dark fuzz, couldn't quite suck up the courage to epilate it off so it stays.

Anyone else?

I'm incredibly hairy and carrying a boy. Even started growing a beard! Plucked off some of the hair on my belly and got a horrible rash and my midwife was all worried when she saw it while listening to the heartbeat. I had to explain that no, I'm just really really hairy

My head hair is looking gorgeous at the moment. Last time loads of it fell out after I had DS though. Every time i went in the shower there'd be loads of hair fall out :(

Body hair seems unchanged and it was unchanged last time too.

I got a hairy belly when pregnant with ds, it did disappear after he was born so don't panic. I'm pregnant again and am a bit hairier but not as bad yet

Thank god for this thread. I've been so morto of my hairy belly and thought it was just me and was too afraid to ask anyone. I feel like I'm part monkey and feel so embarrassed every time I go to doc or have a scan.

Yep!! I'm a yeti.

extracrunchy · 27/07/2013 23:00

Wait not a yeti... A bear or something.
Anyway I'm more than a little bit fuzzy and very glad to hear you are too

No I'm the opposite! I love my pregnancy body. I shaved my legs 6 weeks ago and the hair hasn't grown back yet and the ones that have are really fine.

Same with my eyebrows, done 6 weeks ago and no sign of regrowth.

I wish I could stay pregnant without the baby forever. Normally I'm quite a hairy person.

extracrunchy · 27/07/2013 23:47

Not. Fair.

fakebook · 27/07/2013 23:51

Extracrunchy, but you have non hairiness for the rest of your life, minus 9 months of however many babies you have. I will have a total of 27 months of non hairiness in 30 years of life. I think it's totally fair!

extracrunchy · 28/07/2013 00:21

Ok ok good point...

Its odd for me, my leg and armpit hair seems to have stopped growing and instead has been replaced with a snail trail and a hairy bump :/ its very odd

I have hairy feet apparently. Luckily they're light coloured hairs as I hadn't noticed but DH kindly pointed them out

I have hairy feet apparently not seen them in a while then.

I was really fakebook but you are right, best to have it bad for 9 months rather than all the time.

So happy to find this thread! I have been so embarrassed when having my scans for my hairy belly :-( Its really fine but theres a lot of it, I used sensitive facial bleach to lighten it because its black but what ever you do ladies don't shave, wax or use any removal techniques it will make it worse and the chance of it leaving naturally after birth are slim if you start messing with it !
