1. My hair grows so fast. Even the hair on my head I could never get that to grow now its so long.
2. If I try to hold my gas my stomach hurts soooo much.
3. I have never gotten pimples and ever sense I found out I was pregnant I have them all over my face and chest. My doctor said it was just hormones and to just keep washing my face. :(

I'm having a girl and my body hair is way thicker and more noticeable! Not had many issues with gas. My skin before pregnancy was amazing and now it's breaking out non stop! Try washing it with baking soda, an Esthetician I worked with did that and it's safe to use on your skin.

I had all of the above. The body hair had gotten much darker now after labour. The gas is still around, and you lose control of your bum.. the acne is still happening as well. Nothing you can do. Everything that works on acne isn't safe to use woke pregnant

1. Body hair for me is thicker and more noticeable. And it grows twice as fast -.-

2. Gas has been a biig prob for me lol. It gets to the point that if i don't release it, my tummy hurts really bad.

3. I get a few pimples every now and then, but right now i have this huge pimple on my face. Ugh. Also, i don't wash my face with anything but hot water. Because stripping away all the oils from my face when i use face wash seems to make my face overproduce oil and causes me to break out more.
