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
I'm feeling even better now - thanks girls! I get waxed every 6 weeks (everywhere!) so my beautician is going to tackle my new 'beard' at my next appointment. She did my belly for me last time too - that's another preggy related fur patch!
I have a some light fine hair on my stomach as well but have read it goes away after the birth. It isn't worth me whining over because you can hardly notice it so I'll just wait and see if it goes away after birth
