hair growth preg with boy

so i'm having a boy, and i've noticed my hair growth is outrageous.....like i shave everything but my head....arms, underarms, nawnie, legs, yea so.....

anyways, i shaved on sunday morning, and when i finally arranged my belly to be able to see down there, i noticed it looked like i hadn't shavved in over a week! it's not that bad with my legs(although oddly before pregnancy it was!), and my underarms aren't bad....but my nawnie and my arms, are just outrageous....

so i'm asking i guess, does having the baby be a boy promote hair growth? and how far were you before you couldnt even see your va jay jay?(btw-nawnie, is what i call mine in case you're like "wtf is that"?!)

I have tremendous hair growth as well, and im also pregnant with a boy, my 3rd boy to be exact lol. I have hair everywhere as well, Hubby sometimes calls me sasquatch if I dont shave atleast 3 times a week lol.

Im hairy as it is being half mexican, but being pregnant I have even more hair, the only place that seems to be lacking in hair growth is my head lol. I have hair from my toes to my eyebrows, I even noticed that im getting a mustache lol.

I've heard from a lot of women that when you are pregnant the hair on your cha-cha (that's what I call mine) grows like weeds.  Apparently it doesn't grow as much after you deliver.  Good luck, I think you might have to resort to the hair removal lotion after you can't see down there anymore.

Excessive/rapid hair growth is promoted by pregnancy hormones - it has nothing to do with the gender of your baby.

I was about 5 months when my stomach got big enough that I couldnt see below it to shave.

The hair on my legs has too slowed down but i have developed excess hair on my belly and even in my cleavage! Its disgusting!

Still managing to reach with a razor to keep trim though

well i'm mostly indian, so the facial hair, it's a given lol...i get my brows waxed(i cant do it alone lol), and i do my own chin/sides/mustache haha

i was wondering if a boy would provide more testosterone(sp?), and that was why....i've debated getting waxed, i'm a wuss, and i think i'd pass out!!! my exhubs mom attempted to, and she rewaxed the same spot 3 times before i was ready to deck the preacher(jeez, i'm with the 2nd preacher's son lol).....but i was afraid i'd go to he**, so i just hauled a'' off the other side of the bed, and ran!!!

I noticed that when I was pregnant I my hair grew extremely fast.  Usually I have to shave my legs only like once every two or three weeks when I was pregnant i had to shave once a week!  Everywhere else though I shaved every other day!  

I am so glad i'm getting laser hair removal  my SIL (who does it for a living) gave me gift cert for birthday to get it done then I found out I was pregnant. but now I am able to get it done since I had the m/c last month.  I had one treatment so far on my underarms and the hair hasn't grown back but bikini area i've had two treatments and it's still there but thinner and some smooth spots.

I have heard that some women get hair growth while pregnant on their face too. I would hate that.
