I subscribe to a daily email service that tells me what is going on with my body, the sweet pea inside, and what I can expect throughout this pregnancy. I really look forward to getting these emails every morning and I love sharing them with Tarzan because he always responds with something funny.
You can imagine my surprise when my email this morning told me that I just might find hair growing on my face, back, and stomach. WHAT? I always thought that a pregnant woman’s hair was the only thing that grew. Apparently I was wrong. I am praying that I don’t sprout hair on my back, stomach, or face. It grosses me out just thinking about it. I’ll tell you one thing… If I am one of the ones that grow hair in unexpected places, you can bet your ass I’ll be waxing my whole damn body to make it go away. Nothing like hair in random places to make you feel oh so sexy.

Is hair growth a common occurrence with pregnancy? I’ve never heard of this happening before.
I’m getting real kick out of reading these blogs. I’m currently 34 weeks pregnant, and man does this hit close to home. As for the fur situation, a LOT of pregnant women end up with a fuzzy belly! Most of the time it falls out after the baby.
Philip – I guess it just depends on the woman, but my hair has definitely increased since being pregnant. Not so fun.
Jessi – So glad that you are liking our blog!
Congrats on your baby too! I already have a fuzzy belly and I know it’s bad, but I’ve been shaving it. It bothers me so much! Hopefully I’m not doing more damage…
Hi Jane!
I’m so excited I found your blog! I’m 16 weeks pregnant with our first child. My hubby (so very nicely) pointed out last night that my tummy is starting to get hairy. :/
What site did you subscribe to for the daily pregnancy updates?
Hi Nikki! Oh yes, the lovely tummy hair, I have that too. I subscribed to the updates from What To Expect. Hope that helps you!
