    Hair growth?

    I thought the prenatal vitamins were supposed to make your hair grow faster and stronger.  I haven't noticed any changes except for the fact that I have only had to shave my legs like twice.  Which is pretty convenient since I can barely do that with my big ol' bump!  Has anyone else noticed little hair growth in any pregnancy?

    Me! I haven't had to shave my legs more then 7 times since I've been pregnant. It is so weird! And I totally think I'm loosing hair on my head. I use to have such thick, thick hair I could barely get it up in a ponytail. I then had Emma and it kind of all fell out. It really has never gotten back to how thick it was pre-Emma.

    :-(.

    I don't know if I have thicker hair? I got a dark strip from My ds #2. My hair is dark blonde and it grew in brown for about an inch. Then after the delivery it grew back dark blonde. You could really see it when I would straighten my hair. It did not happen with #1 or #3 so I don't know what that was all about?

    When I was pregnant I not only had to shave my legs every day but my eyebrows! Geez! I had to pluck them sometimes twice a day! 

     Actually, I purposely wanted to grow it out to see how long it would get (the hairdresser in me). I did the pictures every 4 weeks and never cut my hair and then compaired them at the end. I'm guessing 6 inches in 10 months? And then I decided to keep going so I started at 4 weeks preggo with my hair at my shoulders and now I have a one year old next month and my hair reaches my waist. And I'm not cutting it until after the next baby. What the heck, right?

    Also, it never shed during pg but after it shed a ton. Which is pretty normal from my expericence with my clients....

    I'm already 20 weeks pregnant and beginning to notice fuller hair and nicer too (less dry and more volume). Last pregnancy my belly was totally hairy, but I don't remember exactly at what stage it got like that, probably a bit later, like at 25 weeks.
