Post-partum body hair changes

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Anyone else?

My LO is almost 7 weeks and about two weeks ago, I suddenly noticed that my armpit hair is much finer and grows much slower. I haven't been able to tell for sure if this is true of my leg (and other) hair as well, but its certainly different in the pits.

I haven't changed any of my products so I am wondering if this is caused by PP hormone changes? Or perhaps its directly related to BFing assuming its only affecting my armpit hair. . .using all those milk ducts so close by has changed something?

My head hair seems the same. . .anyway, it is just one of those curious PP body things. And I'm not complaining! Any less shaving is good with me!

The opposite is happening to me, and I almost posted the same question! About two weeks ago I noticed my leg hair growing crazy fast. I use an epilator, and the whole time I was pregnant I was able to just use it once a week, and even then there was hardly any hair and I always looked freshly shaved. Now I have to do it twice a week and it never looks shaved!
