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
Yep I had it to when pregnant with DS!
It was under my chin and around the sides of my face. I read in what to expect when your expecting that it is usually when you are having a boy as you are producing testosterone for him! Just lovely! It wasn't long after birth that it dissapeared.
Never had it through my other pregnancies one is a girl an the other we find out in 2weeks so lets see if the theory is true.
I think I am one of the oddities, I didn't get any extra hair other than the snail trail on my belly - which hung around for 5 years and got thicker with this pregnancy! I've found I'm shaving legs and underarms less and plucking eyebrows is now monthly instead of fortnightly. The hair on my head has always been thick and I never noticed a change with DD or even now. I guess I have to think how lucky I am when I read what you guys are going though!
ryatha...we you sound lucky like me. The only extra hair I have noticed is the tiniest of little fine hairs that have come on my stomach but you can hardly notice them! Other then that nothing else!
