hair on belly anyone?

sroddy12 · January 2012

Okay, so for some reason since i've been pregnant i've grown some light hair on my belly. It's not long or anything, but i'm afraid it's going to show up on my maternity pictures on thursday. Am I the only crazy one that is having this problem? What should I do? Can I use nair or should I just let it go and hope that it doesn't show up? Ahh the joys of pregnancy.. you never hear about these odd things that can happen lol

Yes! My belly has blonde hair all over it, and I asked my doctor about what to do with it. She said if you try to get rid of it, it will grow back thicker. So while it may be nIce for the pics, you may be even more hairy after! It will go away after our LO's are here!

Yup, I've got it! Lot's of little blonde hair all over my belly. It is so strange!

Same here. I have never had any hair on my stomach and now there is a super light, fine blanket of it..ugh!

Me too! And sometimes it sticks straight up! I'm sure it probably won't show in pics, though, and there's always Photoshop Smile

Yep, got some going on over here. I asked my OB about Nair for the bikini area a while back and he advised against it due to lack of research. I'm not sure about the belly area, but I think I'd be a little skeptical. I'm sure your photographer can edit your photos if it shows too much, right?

sroddy12 · January 2012

Thanks girls, i'm glad i'm not the only one! I'm thinking i'll take a bottle of lotion and put some on right before my pictures so that it's atleast laying down and not sticking straight up. Thanks for telling me about it coming back thicker, we don't want that! lol

Well can I just say that I am super jelous of you. I have grown hair all over my belly, but it is dark Embarrassed

I have blonde hair and very pale skin so it is super obvious. Maybe it is just really obvious to me, but it is so embarassing every time I go to the ob. I wonder if you can use nair too...I think I will ask when I go to my appt thurday.

I have hair on my belly and I was worried abt my pics too. It didn't show in my pics at all. Unless your photographer is actually trying to show you have hair on your tummy, then they should be able to great belly shots that don't show your hair.

I hadn't noticed any, but DH did. It is blonde and fuzzy,.

Cholzmei · January 2012

I definitely have a fuzzy belly too. I'm going to wax it before my maternity pics.

Mrs_MBed · January 2012

I've got it as well - and had it with my singletons. Can the photographer photoshop the pics to remove the hair?

This is me too.

I have dark black hairs all over my belly. Wish they were blond, but they are not.

chrissc34 · January 2012

Me too! Blonde, fine and stands up straight.

Abby7 · January 2012

Yup, I have this too. It's very fine and short but dark-colored.

Yup, me too. Thought I was the only one - I feel better now!

I made the mistake of trying to shave it and can verify it came back worse.

Hubby says its extra insulation for bub. lol

jenmae3 · January 2012

I've definitely got a bunch of lovely dark brown hairs all over my belly. My husband and I joke that it's a sign of masculinity (this is DS2). But mostly, I think it's a good sign of blood/nutrient circulation, so it can't be bad. It'll fall off after labor, like mine did.

I definitely wouldn't Nair it, since tummy skin is delicate and thin right now (especially if you have any stretch marks) and you never know if it will burn. I say let it go or shave it, if you're worried.

Don't get my started on my new beard.

CplusJ=S · January 2012

I recently noticed the fuzzy hair on my belly as my bump has gotten bigger. It was never there before so I'm assuming it's pregnancy related. Glad to know I'm not alone. Fingers crossed that it disappears once baby is here.

mrschristinalou · January 2012

Same thing happened to me!!! Little blonde hairs! I'm going to just leave mine alone.

DGandDG · January 2012

Am I the only one that had any hair on the belly before pregnancy?

I get really embarrased too because I have to be on a fetal monitor twice a week and every time I lift my shirt for them to put on the monitor, i'm thinking "please hair, don't be sticking straight up" and of course, it always is...so noticable!

If I can see hair in the proofs, i'm going to ask her to photoshop them..hopefully it won't show up in the pics!

katiej520 · January 2012

I was just noticing this today on my belly. Guess this answers my question about whether it's normal or not!

ObGsHoRtY · June 2012
