Cha Cha Chia!

Have you ever wished for thick beautiful hair? Well your wish has been granted! This little pregnancy "side effect" has its pros and cons. Pros: your hair is now BEAUTIFUL and thick and has amazing shine. Cons: its a knotted ratty mess and now your growing hair in places you haven't before. You lose less hair while pregnant, leaving your locks very full. Although it leaves your hair looking wonderful its also very painful if you don't braid it at night. It took me about 4 months before I found myself at the hair salon getting my hair layered. I spent many hours crying in front of the mirror with my bottle of kids detangler while ripping knots out. OUCH!

But the hair on your head isn't the only hair thats changing. Ever heard of a happy trail on a man? Guess what! Your going to get one all your own except yours doesn't go from the belly button down, oh no that would be to easy. You get to sport one that starts under your breasts all the way down to your pubic area! Along with belly hair that makes you start thinking your going to pass your mans hairy stomach. Look now while you still can because your legs are looking like chewbacca! I have always been one to get away with not shaving for a little while and that shortly turned into lasting only 2 or 3 days.

For your legs you will get to the point where shaving turns into a chore. It takes too long, you have to do it to often but you can still reach them. Veet is safe to use if you want to skip the razor (or you don't trust your man with a razor). Some women will disagree with me that it is not safe to use but its all on your own judgement. Talk to your doctor as I did and go with what they say, try not to listen to online forums too much because everyone has their own opinions on what you can and can't do. As far as that belly hair as hard as it is, don't shave it. Don't pluck it or veet it, just leave it. It will fall out after pregnancy and you will be back to normal. If you touch it now your stuck with it for life!

You will soon get to the "I can't see my legs" stage and then its time to call in reinforcements. Or don't, thats your choice of course. Just make sure if you are someone who trusts your loved one with a razor against your skin (and private areas because you will lose sight of her as well) then maybe bring him in for a lesson before you get too big. I wish you the best of luck with that :)
