Leg hair etc

Graciepregnant · August 2011

This may be TMI but...

My leg haid, under arm hair and etc are growing extremely fast to the point where i am shaving every day whereas before i could seriously wait a few days to a week before even sort of needing to shave, it is completely mental. is this normal and will it last the whole pregnancy, anyone else experiencing this.

Yes, my hair got luxurious, long, and silky last pg. Unfortunately that also including all of my body hair as well. ::yuck::

It's funny, I wore pants instead of capris to work yesterday because when I was getting dressed I was like "WTF? Didn't I just shave?" but I'm known to be lazy so I just assumed more time had passed than I had thought but maybe not.

Completely normal. It will last your whole pregnancy.

At least we won't be pregnant all summer (like I was last time, that sucked!).

I am so looking forward to wearing pants this winter, no one will have to see my winter coat!

Yea, I read in one of my baby books that your hair starts growing faster, AND you stop shedding hair.

Yeah, it's normal and will last your entire pregnancy. It continued a few months after delivery for me too.

Thank goodness this is to be expected.

I epilated my legs before we went on our cruise. Usually when I do this I can get away with not needing a re-do or a shave touch-up for at least a week and a half. Well, I had to shave them twice on the cruise! It was ridiculous. And then I went for my doctor's appointment yesterday and was horrified when he said I needed a pap smear. I had to bare the legs stubble and all. Also, my underarm shaving has been pointless lately and, yup, he had to see that too even though I shaved them THAT MORNING.

Strangely enough, my leg and arm hair grew more slowly over my last pregnancy. My head hair was great-full and lush, then 4 months after birth I went through a horrible shed. it was so depressing. Now, I have all these baby hairs all around my face and they're coming in GREY!!! Double depressing. I wonder what the hair action will be like this pregnancy.

I was a daily shaver already, can you imagine how long my hair gets by the end of the day......XD

TeamHayes · September 2011

Me too! My legs are like a Forrest. Pants are my friends. Don't get mevstarted on my other regions. And I am starting to sport a stash bc I am afraid to wax.

Yeah, my hair issues never ended. My body hair grows way faster now than it ever used to and my hair gets SUPER greasy. I used to go a couple days between washings, now it needs to be done every day (Well, I only do it every other day, because I'm lazy, but I also never leave the house. LOL)

I'm glad to know this is normal! I thought I was just going crazy! I'm worried about facial hair becoming thicker. My hair is dark so I am afraid I'll end up looking like a bearded lady!
