Belly hair after pregnancy

Although pregnancy makes people feel happy, many problems will also appear one after another in expectant mothers. For example, some women may experience itchy scalp after pregnancy, some women will develop stretch marks, and some women will find that they have hair growing on their belly. This makes many women feel unacceptable and they don’t know why such problems occur. What’s the matter with hair growing on the belly after pregnancy?

For most expectant mothers, the most obvious changes in hair are on their belly, especially around the belly button, where it is denser; some expectant mothers will grow a circle of hair around their nipples, some will even grow chest hair; and some will grow hair on their backs. Moreover, not every pregnant woman has hairy belly.

In terms of the time when hair grows, some pregnant mothers will start to grow belly hair around 8 weeks of pregnancy, some pregnant mothers will grow belly hair around 20 weeks of pregnancy, and some pregnant mothers will not grow belly hair throughout the entire pregnancy.

These hairs will gradually fall out after delivery. Seeing this, many expectant mothers may be worried, will I become a "hairy mother" after giving birth?! In fact, after giving birth, the estrogen and progesterone levels in a woman's body will slowly return to normal, and the extra hair that grows during pregnancy will fall off, returning to her beautiful pre-pregnancy appearance.

What are the symptoms of early pregnancy:

In the early stages of pregnancy, pregnant women may experience symptoms such as breast enlargement, frequent urination, mild vaginal bleeding, and may also experience nausea, headache, dizziness, and emotional instability. If you find the above symptoms, you should take an early pregnancy test in time because you are very likely pregnant.

1. Breast enlargement

Your breasts will become extra tender a week or two after conception. This is because in the early stages of pregnancy, due to pregnancy stimulation, the pregnant woman's body will produce a lot of estrogen and progesterone, causing the glands in the breasts to begin to grow. These hormones cause your breasts to retain more fluid, so they may feel heavier and soreer than before.

2. Mild vaginal bleeding

The fertilized egg will implant in the uterus within 6-12 days after conception, which may cause slight vaginal bleeding in pregnant women. If this happens, pregnant women do not need to worry if the vaginal bleeding is mild and there are no serious discomfort symptoms. This is a normal physiological reaction when the fertilized egg implants and is harmless to the human body. Implantation bleeding of the fertilized egg manifests as a small amount of blood or blood spots, which can be seen several times a day. The bleeding lasts for about three days, and there is no discomfort during menstruation. Implantation bleeding of the fertilized egg needs to be distinguished from menstruation to prevent pregnant women from being pregnant without knowing it.

3. Physical fatigue

In the early stages of pregnancy, some pregnant women's bodies secrete a hormone that acts like an anesthetic. Its main ingredient is progesterone, which mainly acts on the uterus. These substances relax the muscle fibers of the uterus, preventing premature pain and allowing the fetus to grow undisturbed. But this progesterone will raise your basal body temperature, so you will lack physical energy. Also, your heart rate will increase to provide more oxygen to the uterus, so you will feel tired.
