HAIRY MARY

bunnymumma · August 2014

Iv always had a little bit of hair on my arms and obviously my legs, because im very dark haired, but never have i had a SNAIL TRAIL!!! Its starting to compete with my partners belly fluff!! Is this a simply pregnancy related issue, do i leave it? Hair removal cream it? Wax it? Shave it? Please girls im starting to feel like a man!!! HELP! Is this happening to anyone else??

Pregnancy #1 I had this problem. I was embarrassed so I shaved it. Now I still have it! I would try leaving it alone in hopes it just falls off after baby.

My hair on my belly, legs and armpits have been growing out of control! I am very fair haired and usually only shave my legs 1-2x a week but lately have needed to about daily!! I have also shaved the hairs on my belly because I don't like them. I might pick up some lotion that helps reduce shaving.

bunnymumma · August 2014

Yeah i have the same thing im shaving at least once a day and its back again over night. Hmm i might try the leaving my belly thing, but pretty soon im gonna start showing and im worried people will want ro see my belly and not with all the fluff on it. It doesnt bother my partner but he does giggle about it tease me haha.

LOL. I do not think a snail trail in my group of friends is the same thing you are calling a snail trail.

Unless you're talking about loads of dry CM in your undies.

I've gotten this too since being pregnant. I shave it.

I've always referred to it on guys as the happy trail, then those unfortunate enough with a matching trail on their back...the unhappy trail.

bunnymumma · August 2014

Dont know where you live, but in england a snail trail is the hair growing up your belly!! But haha that did make me giggle. Deffo not that xD

shootznladrz · August 2014

I think I've heard that called a happy trail!!

Also I have 5 o'clock shadow on my legs which has never happened!!

kecoff01 · August 2014

I am not experiencing this, but I have an interesting thing to add. I got my hair cut last Saturday and my friend who cuts my hair was saying that she heard that if you notice that you are growing body hair faster or in new places (face, belly, etc.) that you're probably having a boy because of the increased testosterone in your body. I don't believe it, but I thought it was interesting. Who knows??

I too have the belly trail of hair. What's weird and I don't understand is for me hair is growing fast on the belly, legs, arms, eyebrows but my hair is falling out on my head!! I mean way more then ever before. I don't get it! I though hair was supposed to be better during pregnancy!

bdazzld · August 2014

The tummy line is a common hormone induced pregnancy thing

) if it really bothers you maybe get it waxed? Otherwise in theory it should decrease after delivery.

bwftw · August 2014

I have PCOS (too much testosterone), so I've had this as long as I can remember. I've always just shaved it.

Lol, I'm having the same problem, I read in my pregnancy book that it's totally normal. I shed quite a bit to begin with but now it's everywhere. I hate after a shower when I find it stuck in my butt crack lol

As of now I'm leaving it but if it gets any darker or more hairy I will shave it off

amyrvt · August 2014

I'm Greek so I started off as a rather hairy beast. I have a beard that could rival an NHL playoff beard if left to its own devices these days if I don't pluck every other day. As for the nether regions, I'm still braving trips to Brazil once a month as one of my few last stands at my pre-pregnancy normalcies. I have noticed more ingrown hairs than normal, apparently something about the increased blood flow, so I try to exfoliate more often.

OMG the hair in the butt crack is the worst! I have also always shed but yeah pregnancy has made it 100 times worse and my hubs just laughs and calls me Chewy.

Chris&Ang · August 2014

Be happy it's your tummy and NOT your face like me!!! Always had a hair problem but it's 10x worse now!

lisap0924 · August 2014

My leg hair and armpit hair is growing out of control, but my belly hair seems fine

Zanza_3 · August 2014

Lol I thought I was going crazy for thinking I saw more hair on my face. Now I know I'm not alone!

ktmac315 · August 2014

Oh how I love you people! You literally just made me sigh with relief! I thought I was the only one with this problem! Ha! I have way more on my belly (and it's dark! :-/ ) and I also have been plucking the random ones growing out of my face! I seriously feel like a man sometimes! I have been shaving my belly but am considering waxing it since shaving it only lasts about 2 days!

Christina80xoxo · August 2014

Lol!!! I thought you were going somewhere else with this post whrn I read snail trail !!! Haha
That hair line on the tummy is what we call the. "Treasure trail" lol
That aside, I grew a really weird whisker on my chin. Nothing on by belly. But a whisker was pretty gross too

Christina80xoxo · August 2014

@mamachancey‌
Omg!!! Buttcrack hair !!! Lol
Me toooooo!!!! Lol
I feel so much better after reading this, my facial hair is growing faster than my honey's!

HAHA! I am so stealing your definition of snail trail.

I've always heard of the snail trail that she is referring to as a "happy trail"

@Jeeperswife That lotion would freak me out due to all the crazy chemicals that have to be in it - personally I'd avoid that and just wax if it bothers you too much. But I'm a little crunchy

dani727 · August 2014

Haha thanks for posting this! I have been struggling with my snail trail as well. I am worried what it will look like towards the end of pregnancy...less or more disgusting. I've been shaving it frequently but DH always seems to notice when it hadn't been freshly shaved... Ugh! He just thinks it's funny. Anyway, I hope I can see it all when I'm bigger- otherwise he'll be the one shaving it!

I'm finding that my moustache and beard are growing faster than normal. I have to wax every week instead of every three weeks and I'm a fucking ginger!

bunnymumma · August 2014
