Facial Hair
|
I have noticed that I am starting to grow random, dark hairs on my chin. Would plucking them make them worse? Will I have them forever or will they go away after I deliver?

With your hormones all over the place, growing hair in random places is not unusual. Plucking them only solves the problem temporarily. They don't usually get worse but will continue to grow until up 3 weeks after the pregnancy. Once you have delivered your baby, just give it some time and let your body adjust. Once your hormones have levelled out you should notice that the hairs stop growing.

Hair growth on the face, arms and legs during pregnancy is normal. Pregnancy hormones and increased cortisone cause this type of hair growth during pregnancy. They will disappear about 6 months after pregnancy.
Don't pluck them but you can wax or shave them.
Avoid using bleaches during pregnancy. They can be absorbed into the skin.
If you are very conscious of your looks, you can also think of Permanent hair-removal techniques which are safe during pregnancy. But they can be painful or uncomfortable

It’s just normal because of the extra sex hormones otherwise known as androgens in our body. That’s normal among pregnant women and it is just temporary. You can remove it by using tweezers or razor or wax it but never use any drugs to remove it. The drug available in the market was not tested for pregnant women so don’t try it.

This really depends on how well your hormones settle after the birth of your baby. With my first child, I had hair on my jawline which I used to trim down and 6 months after having my son, they went. However, when pregnant with my second son, they were everywhere and didn't disappear after delivery - my son is now 14 months old and the hairs are being plucked out twice a week. Having facial hair is a sign of testosterone - usually associated with a boy. Try and leave them alone, if they are very bad perhaps you can abrasion such as a sily mitt.
