I have not found there to be much difference at all tbh.

I do seem to have more fuzz on my boobs and tummy though ]]> Fri, 26 Dec 2008 20:55:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23255&PID=573820&title=body-hair-not-growing#573820 <![CDATA[Body hair not growing? : Hmm thought I&#039;d do my legs...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23255&PID=573813&title=body-hair-not-growing#573813 Author: Blankney94

Hmm thought I'd do my legs today cos thought "it must be about time" - not that I can really see down round my shins anymore.  The hair was just fuzzy and light so I needn't have bothered. 

I've got a some increased hair growth around my tummy area and one of those linea nigra lines too!  Also my fingernails have taken off - usually I can't grow them.

Well my hair hardly grew at all with Leah and I didn't really shave my legs at all the whole pg with her. With Joel, while I didn't get excessive hair growth it was certainly more than with Leah.

And my fingernails and toenails grew very fast second pg as well, was cutting my fingernails twice a week for a while.

I hate the fuzz on my belly.. But yup, body hair has slowed down a bit.

I have the belly hair and fingernails have been growing fast, but everywhere else the hair has been growing slowly! Which is great when bending to shave legs gets harder and harder! The bonus is reduction in facial hair, which unfortunately is usually an issue for me. ]]> Sun, 21 Dec 2008 16:07:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23255&PID=571619&title=body-hair-not-growing#571619 <![CDATA[Body hair not growing? : How funny is that!

How funny is that! Last time, hair on my head was thicker, leg & underarm hair grew faster.

This time with a boy my hair hasn't grown, nor have my nails, but in the last couple of weeks it's sped up slowly!

I always thought that the old wives tale was that with girls your hair grew thicker & fast & with boys it was opposite.]]> Sun, 21 Dec 2008 15:41:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23255&PID=571604&title=body-hair-not-growing#571604 <![CDATA[Body hair not growing? : All my hair stopped growing during...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23255&PID=571522&title=body-hair-not-growing#571522 Author: missy_girl

Its funny you say that weegee about the wifes tale! I've had 3 girls and never noticed tummy hair. Now I'm pregnant with a boy and its WFT is that on my tummy lol.

Unfortunately I also have more facial hair which is embarrasing :(]]> Sun, 21 Dec 2008 09:57:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23255&PID=571467&title=body-hair-not-growing#571467 <![CDATA[Body hair not growing? : I was the same Dana, during most...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23255&PID=571452&title=body-hair-not-growing#571452 Author: weegee

I was the same Dana, during most of my pregnancy I grew more hair everywhere (according to the old wive's tales it's worse if you're having a boy!) but once I hit about 32 weeks it suddenly slowed down. It's stayed that way during breastfeeding as well, which is brilliant because it's not like I have heaps of time in the shower to shave any more! Must be a hormonal thing, or, yeah, the body's putting all its effort into growing bubs (and that's continued with producing breast milk too I guess).]]> Sun, 21 Dec 2008 09:31:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23255&PID=571452&title=body-hair-not-growing#571452 <![CDATA[Body hair not growing? : Oh and the belly hair did retreat...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23255&PID=571444&title=body-hair-not-growing#571444 Author: lisa85

You are lucky. Pregnancy 'generally' causes an increase in hair growth. That is why permanant hair removal treatments (such as laser or electrolysis) are not recommended during pregnancy. Yes there are safe methods for electrolysis; and some laser. But because of hormone levels during pregnancy, its advised to avoid incase the increased hair growth is just pregnancy related.

I personally am finding the hair growing more on certain parts of my body, and slower on others.]]> Sat, 20 Dec 2008 23:22:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23255&PID=571393&title=body-hair-not-growing#571393 <![CDATA[Body hair not growing? : And....

This is so random! I shaved my U/Arms and legs last week and it's grown back less than 1mm! It's slowed down to nearly nothing. And a couple of small pimples are taking forever to heal. Is this perhaps my body putting all effort into finishing bubs?

The only hair that is growing is the annoying fuzz on my belly. I feel like a Yeti!

Any one else ever noticed this? Fingernails have slowed right down too but hair and nails are all very very dry. (I'm guzzling water as i'm paranoid about dehydration in this heat).]]> Sat, 20 Dec 2008 21:01:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23255&PID=571346&title=body-hair-not-growing#571346
