Hairy belly - who's got one??

But most importantly, why, why, WHY?

Thankfully I am blonde so the hairs are very fair and not visible unless closely inspecting but I'm very aware of it Smile My sister thinks it is hilarious to take the Mickey out of me Grin

I'm almost dreading my next appointment with the midwife even though I'm sure she has seen a wispy belly a million times Grin

Has anyone gone to any desperate measures to control it?

I'm assuming it does disappear after the birth??

Mine looks hairier too! Though I think it's because the skin's stretched so it's making the hairs stand up. Don't know if yours is the same?

It didn't look like that after I had DS but it's come back this time.

Me! And my youngest child is 10!!!

Mine became hairy but also blonde, sorry to say it remained after the birth. I did get pregnant pretty soon after so it maybe didn't get a chance to leave!

Me! I've always sort of been covered with downy hair on my breasts and belly but I appear to have gotten hairier recently. To be honest it doesn't bother me - the only one looking that close is my partner and he doesn't care!

Me! and my lady garden has gone bananas too! Sad

Dont have one yet, and my nipples havent gotten darker either!!
does anyone know if it's safe to get laser hair removal during pregnancy? have a few darkies on my chin that i'm sick of plucking.. didnt get around to getting them done before the BFP!!

Mine too :) I'm not blonde but thankfully the hair is really light but it's really quite noticeable! My dh keeps mentioning it! Paranoid.com! I'm actually slightly more bothered by the 3 new little red stretch marks that have developed on tummy!!! I'm doomed!!! Hmm xxx

Strongecoffeeismydrug · 27/11/2013 15:23

Me ! I've got pcos so I've always been a little hairier than normal but with this pregnancy it's even worseHmm.
Ds has started to call me King Kong Grin

AnnaBanana25 · 27/11/2013 15:44

I was diagnosed with pcos same week I conceived!!! I thought the hairy belly was due to pcos but now I'm not so sure. I just shave it!

SweetPea86 · 27/11/2013 16:23

I have very dark brown hair and already have to bleach my tash lol.

I noticed my self in bath the other night I'm going to have to start bleaching my stomach now lol

Luckily my belly is covered unlike my face.

Hope hair doesn't show up any were else in pregnancy as this rate I'll look like a yetti in labour lol

Peacenquiet2 · 27/11/2013 16:52

Pluck pluck pluck! Ive had hairy belly with all 3 dcs and it has remained to some degree between pgs as well. The annoying thing is im really fair but the hairs are dark n coarse like pubic hairs, but sparser. I just pluck as they appear, its actually quite satisfying.

Writerwannabe83 · 27/11/2013 22:47

These responses have put a smile on my face!!

Pregnancy is just so glamorous isn't it?! Grin

I got a hairy belly when I was pregnant with ds......11 years ago. Dark and coarse. Been shaving my belly for 11 years! Also, a few ransdom hairs on my boobs.

In this pregnancy they grow back faster.

PixieBumbles · 28/11/2013 13:47

Not just belly, I seem to be hairier all over Sad

zinher · 28/11/2013 13:54

I am already a yeti. Can't get any hairier and that's not a good thing. I have given up on my body hair as their growth speed has increased so much. Just try to keep the tache and beard in check.

Chocolatemolehill · 28/11/2013 13:55

Be grateful it's just your belly - I'm currently growing a beard! Luckily I'm blonde but still...
All very glam, isn't it? Smile
