Mine got really hairy, and I made the mistake and shaved it, now it is growing back more :( Soon after I googled hairiness and a few websites said it will go away after you give birth.

Don't shave, after pregnancy it evens itself back out. Its just the extra hormones and if you shave you'll have to keep shaving

It goes away! When I was about 2-4 months pregnant it was pretty crazy how much hair I had gotten on my belly... but lately it's been going away...it's almost all gone... back to the peach fuzz! DONT SHAVE unless you want to keep shaving the rest of your life !

I have found myself complaining to my hhsband  about this very issue. My tummy is so hairy its unbeleivable. As if I didnt feel ugly already haha. It is completely normal. DONT SHAVE IT!!! You will so regret it. My cousin did and now her stomach gets prickly and she has to shave every couple of days.

Yea, my belly is pretty hairy now also but I wouldn't shave it. Its just hormones and it will go back to normal soon after baby is born! :)

I had that problem with my son bad! But after I had him the hair disappeared and I am very thankful I didn't shave it cause I would of made it worse! If it bothers you bad there is hair bleaching kits it might be something to look into :0)I just make sure its safe to use during pregnancy. :0)

I wouldn't shave it yet, just my opinion. Wait and see if i goes away with ur belly after u have the baby. Its gonna be just like the rest of the body parts u shave. Once u start it becomes something you have to do every few days.
