Tummy hair

[kmreeve]

I'm 29 weeks and iv noticed the hair on my tummy is darker.. not getting hairier just the hair that's always there as gotten really dark.

Obviously nothing I can do about it and it's just another delightful pregnancy quirk - but it's so unsightly.

Moan over

I definitely had a snail trail when I was pregnant, got hairy and darker. But I'm glad to say that it all went after I had my DS and I'm actually less hairy than I was before I got pregnant!

I’ve noticed this but the hair on my legs is barely growing at all! I shave every 2 weeks! Mad

@le42 god I wish.. my leg hair can be shaved in the morning and back by the evening

@kmreeve it isn’t normally like this!! 😂 trust me

I'm 28 weeks and have noticed this over the last couple of weeks! I usually have very fair hairs on my stomach, but they've really darkened and are quite visible now. Pregnancy is so glamorous!

@Le42 - I’ve noticed this too. My legs, armpits and arms are gloriously soft and smooth and I only have to shave my legs once every 3-4 weeks and even then it’s only to get rid of very soft, short and sparse stubble. It’s bizzare.

I was the same when pregnant with DD1 so I know that unfortunately it doesn’t last - legs were back to normal a few days after she was born.

I’ve always been hairier than average, but three pregnancies have turned me into a bloody werewolf! This pregnancy my preexisting treasure trail has widened into a treasure motorway!

I haven't been able to see anything below my belly button since I was 25 weeks, so god knows what's going on down there in the hair department!

LuvSmallDogs that made me LOL!
My belly is definitley hairier than normal but haven't noticed it any darker, like you though Superstar my leg hair is none existent though!
I have heard that increased hair growth during pregnancy = boy and less hair growth = girl??

@Merrz - I'm having a girl and my legs look like I'm trying to break into the gorilla enclosure at the local zoo!!

LOL kmreeve maybe that old wives tale isn't very reliable then!

(I'm having a girl too- have developed 'hobbit toes'! Didn't even know you could grow hair there- !)

You'll get back to normal after you have your baby, trust me. Hormones do all sorts.
