I made the mistake of shaving it once and it came back super quick worse than it was before! They say it will go away after birth so I'm just waiting it out

I shave it and it grows back fast because of pregnancy but i shower everyday and shave it every other day. After pregnancy it stops and goes away for me, everyone is different tho.

When you shave your belly does the hair grow back darker or thicker?

I'm pregnant with a girl and I have the same problem on my stomach too. I shave it off tho. Gender has nothing to do with hair growing, it's just part of pregnancy.
