@Elouera So true! Grin

On an opposite note (sorry, a bit gross), I'd noticed my toes getting a bit hairy when my hormones were probably at their worst post-pill but pre-pregnancy. Now, completely clear!!

My hair is black so I have a big line of black hair all around my stomach atm! I’ve had it with every pregnancy and never touched it. Although I feel quite embarrassed getting it out to the mw. After you give birth it goes away i assume it just falls out and doesn’t re grow. I would leave off shaving or waxing it in case it grows back xx

Ahhhh mine is so bad!! I’ve got naturally dark hair anyway and my legs have always been bad, but my belly since getting pregnant, my god, I look like a gorilla Blush

I took the plunge and shaved it and ended up with a rash and dry skin all over my belly, I’m guessing the skin was super sensitive. So I can’t seem to win either way and am embracing being a werewolf for the moment Grin
