Is it ok to use hair removal products on your tummy when your pregnant?

Thankyou! I wasn't very sure if it was normal but either way I only have 7 weeks left so I'll just let it be.

No chemicals. It will affect the baby so any hair removal products I wouldn't use, I also have tummy hair but I shave even if I have to every other week but safety is first.

I have a hairy tummy to. I wouldn't use the chemical hair removals. I wax mine. If I shaved I would have to do it like once a week bcuz it grows back so fast.

I wouldn't. Those chemicals are corrosive and can seep in to your skin and can end up getting transferred to your baby since it has to stay on your skin for a longer period of time. If you absolutely have to you can shave it. I know a lot of women wax it. Most don't do anything about it. The hair usually just goes away to how you were before pregnancy once the baby is born so it's up to you really.
