Yes, thank goodness. I found one hair on the back of my thigh that was over a foot long!
I didn't lose any from my head.

It is the hormones. Don't fret. You'll return to normal soon enough.
I am a very hairy woman but it is all blonde so I don't shave it.

Oh ya!

I am seriously looking into rogaine for my hair b/c I just had a baby in Nov and the typical hair loss was expected, but this time around I am having more than usual hair loss and have bald spots! (Yikes.. and I am only 28).

As far as armpit/leg hair it will/should go back to normal.

Congrats on Baby

yes - I also grew little bumps (not actual warts, but they looked like mini ones) in various spots - GROSSED ME OUT!!

They literally disappeared after I gave birth. Really wish someone had given me a heads up on that prior to it having happened!!

Yes! This is really normal. Don't be alarmed about the amount you will actually lose after the baby is born. I loved how thick my hair was while I was pregnant and thought I was going to go bald after! LOL!!

Congratulations and all the best!!!

No, you will be Sasquatch forever.
JUST KIDDING!!!!!

It is freaky, I got hair along that line that goes down from your belly button.
Yuck! I didn't want to be stuck with that.

It does go away. Honest.
It might even diminish as your pregnancy progresses and your hormones shift some more.
Aren't hormones lovely?

Best wishes!
Hang in there!
My daughter is 6 months pregnant too and scared about all these weird things happening to her body.

It will be okay.

Totally normal!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It will calm down after pregnancy. Are you having a boy by chance? I noticed it with both of my boys but not with my daughter.
