Amazing pregnancy side effect

[Deleted]

Yes! I love how babies steal all of the extra nutrients that your body would normally dedicate to hair on one's extremities. I loved my smooth legs but hated my nearly bald eyebrows.

You are rejoicing about hair on your stomach?

I wish this happened to me!

[mrsjuleshs]

OK this lack of leg hair has NOT happened to me. I'm jealous.

I guess I'm not far enough along for this. I don't know if it's the vitamins but damn all my hairs are growing. Armpits, eyebrows, legs, everything. My vagina hairs are out of control. I could seriously shave twice a day. I went one week, because the ingrown hair side effect is awful and I seriously had a full on 70s bush.

Hey! How are you doing?

[goaskalice]

Not having to shave every day is my dream! That seems like a good concession for not easily reaching some parts of your body

[janiejones]

Oh yes! I had that, I shaved maybe twice between July and December. I could go almost two weeks for my underarms. It was amazing.

But now my head hair is all falling out, and my legs & pits are hairy again. TOO SOON.

I rarely ever have to shave my legs and it's been 3 years - hope the same holds true for you, too ;-)

[kristie]

Yup, this happened to me. Everyone thought I was making it up. My legs were silly smooth for months. I still don't have to shave like I used to. It came back in patches and is not as coarse.

Hi.  I'm doing good.  I'll be at 17 weeks tomorrow and so far I'm still in my every day clothes.  Thy only thing I have been dealing with is crazy ankle swelling already :-(.

Wow! I can't believe you're that far along already.

[missmaddie]

I loved that while it lasted. I thought of it as Mother Nature's way of accommodating your bump and recognizing you can't easily shave and reach your legs the same way.

My leg hair grew much slower, and my stomach got all peach fuzzy. Good times! I am terrified of PP hair loss. I have thin falling out hair as it is.

This post made me think of this:

I also didn't have to shave my legs frequently.

I haven't shaved them in a week and they're still pretty smooth post-baby. Should be interesting to see if this continues when these hormones stop bouncing around.

[mudslide]

I'm soo jealous. I feel like I'm even more hairy than normal.

[rex]

I've heard of this and I'm still waiting for it to happen.

I wish the hair on my head would stop growing and maybe fall out a little. I already had insanely thick hair (I would get a haircut just to get it thinned) and now it's just ridiculous.

[partiallysunny]

Yeah, I was never that lucky. My hair (on my head) got thicker, though, which I didn't even think was possible.

[tigress]

Well here's a crappy post pregnancy thing. The hair on the bottom half of my legs has turned brown so its super visible. The rest of my leg hair is blond. But my ankle/lower calf hair. Only since I had my first kid. Its bullshit.
