hair growth

Has anyone else had hair growth on their belly? Ever since I got pregnant my belly is super duper hairy, like grossly hairy. And thick too. I don't want to shave or wax cause I don't want it to come back even thicker but I'm starting to get self conscience cause its really gross! Will it go away?

Don't shave it, it will stay after baby comes if you do. It will go away after baby comes. I have the same problem lol.

If you don't shave, cut, or wax it it will go away after birth.... Or you will have it after the baby is born for good if you decide to shave, wax or cut it... Better to just wait it out and let it go away in its own then to have to deal with it forever!

I have the same problem but I've always shaved mine, I use a venus razor and suave coconut conditioner(best shaving tip I learned that doesnt irritate skin) personally I dont recommend waxing neither belly or back because we do sweat from these areas and it can get infected and may cause skin to breakout (happened to me and never will wax again lol) hope this helps:)

It's annoying, I agree, but it's not the end of the World. It's just part of being pregnant. I'd rather have some hair on my belly than something else happening.

I have the same problem. A lot of mom's said that it goes away once the baby comes but I couldn't stand it and waxed. It turned out fine. With waxing it took a while to come back and it hasn't come back as bad as before.
