Hair....everywhere! why me :-(

[LickleRach]

Hi - recently discovered I am pregnant...which might explain why over the last 4-5 weeks I've been getting really bad spotty skin but also hair growing...on my chin...on my face...on my breasts...luckily its blonde hair and is quite fine but I really notice it and feel like a bit of a freak!! Has anyone else experienced this and if so what have they done about it? I feel so embarrassed!!

ahh hun it ain't just you I got this with dd2 and is now back yet again with this PG.

For the hair on your face I recommend a facial hair remover, but for the hair on your body I promise no one will notice.

Mine is more noticable underneath my belly button really fine sticky up blonde hairs Oh the joys!!

thanks megandsoph, I did try hair removing cream but it seemed to make my face go red. I then read in a pregnancy book i have that they suggest waxing or plucking (ouch and ouch) for hair and not cream when pregnant due to chemical reactions or something. so cream has been ok for you? maybe i should try a different make??

Yep I use the veet sensitive and apply moisuriser after and the redness usually clears up.

I found this about electrolasis if your interested? Sorry after two years on MN I still can't do links lol
