I had the same problem with my pg - hair growing in places it doesn't normally. I had hair on my face with DS (it was actually more like fur it was so thick but it was fair so not hugely noticeable). If you can live with it, just leave it because it all falls out or goes away after you have the baby. Lol at your DH - glad to hear that he is being so loving and supportive. They really have no idea at times.
My hair from my head gets really thick too while I am pg and falls out afterwards from 3 months onwards. After my last pg, my hairdresser asked if I was having chemo because of all the hair I was losing. Hair and pg seem to go hand in hand.
It's strange, my hair growth seems to slow when I am preg in all the shaving/plucking areas. I lost tonnes of my hair on my head after DD for months and months, it never really stopped to be honest til I got pg again.
Now I am wondering something coz we didnt find out boy or girl.. do you think excess hair is a boy thing due to the testosterone or it is a myth? If its not a myth then maybe I am haivng another girl Would like to point out however that everyone is convinced its a boy this time..
I developed a snail trail during pregnancy. I HATED IT. Luckily, it has disappeared now! I just left it because everyone warned me that removing it might make it grow back thicker and I really didn't want to risk that happening haha.
I'm so glad to hear I'm not alone on my hairy journey!!! I spoke to my beautician and she said if we wax it, it won't come back thicker and or darker as it's hormone related so I think I'm going to be rid of the dreaded beard!! LOL!
Netty - interesting thought! We're not finding out the sex so I'm not sure. My sister had 2 boys though and had no significant hair growth so I don't think it's an indicator of the sex but anything is possible!
Yes. I am the Bearded Lady. Ho Ho Ho, Merry Christmas.....
Waxing it doesn't hurt and I don't get a rash. I imagine plucking could probably hurt more.
I have given up on my eyebrows for the moment. I feel like I'm waxing those things every five seconds. I've resigned myself to John Howard eyebrows.
I am making another boy (I had exactly the same issue with DS), so I am determined to believe I have testosterone running through the blood.
My DH and I both shave in front of the mirror in the morning - JOKE JOYCE. It feels like maybe I should be though.
I use the warm wax (stuff you can heat up in the microwave and is already quite liquid). I use it for my eyebrows. Just don't do your chin before you go out - do it before you go to bed. You do get a red chin (just like you do with eyebrows). By the time you wake up in the morning it's gone.
Boy, I'm the resident chin waxing expert. How embarrassing.
I know exactly how you feel, although mine isn't from pregnancy. I have had excess hair issues all my life due to PCOS. I shave my arms and side of face, probably should wax but can't handle the pain. Looking into lazer after Peanut is born.
As for the chin, I pluck mine cause I don't have lots of hairs there, but my mum waxes. I'm fairly sure she's never had any rashes or anything so I reckon you should be sweet
