Phew! Glad I'm not alone! I have a full on snail trail as well as line of hair above my belly button! It's very fair in colour tho but both DP and I notice it cause it's quite thick! I know MWs etc have seen it all before but I shaved it off this morning lol.

I'm sure it will. Have you got the linea nigra (line up the middle of your tummy) as well?

A lot of people say thats an indication of boys but I don't think it is. I think it just depends on skin type.

nkap - There is an old wives tale saying that a hairy tummy during pregnancy can indicate you're having a boy. So the hair is due to the higher testosterone levels running through your body.

I'm not sure if this is a valid claim, but I have noticed more hair on my tummy...and I'm having a boy.

 

I wouldn't worry about it really, I'm sure it's all been seen before. I distinctly remember someone telling me that you lose all your dignity during pregnancy and labour anyway

Mines not dark but does stand on end too I have noticed. And its a natural part of pregnancy so I wouldnt worry too much especially what MW might think as im sure shes seen it 100 times...

I have  fine blonde downy hair on my belly now (and I ususally have very little body hair).

I don't think mine increased, but as my belly grew, the fine hair stood right on end and looked rather odd (and looked thicker/darker but I'm not sure it actually was). My baby is 6 months old now and it's back to normal.

I personally would leave it well alone; and don't be embarrassed with MW's etc - they've seen it all before!!]]> Wed, 07 Oct 2009 07:44:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29209&PID=798313&title=tummy-hair-in-pregnancy#798313 <![CDATA[Tummy hair in pregnancy : I know there are other forum topics...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29209&PID=798265&title=tummy-hair-in-pregnancy#798265 Author: High9

I know there are other forum topics about it, but no one has commented on them for months! I'm just wondering how many women that are pregnant at the moment seem to have tummy hair growing on their tummy/abdomen??

I don't want to do anything about it incase I make it worse, I've always had a little bit of fine tummy hair around my belly button but since I've gotten pregnant it seems to have got darker and spread out! Makes scans and MW appointments kinda embarrassing when you have to show your tummy all the time!

I've read it's normal, I've read it usually disappears after baby is born, is there anyone out there who hasn't had it disappear? ]]> Wed, 07 Oct 2009 00:01:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29209&PID=798265&title=tummy-hair-in-pregnancy#798265
