Pregnancy hair thickening

Pregnancy is the most important thing in a woman's life. During this period, their bodies will undergo many changes, such as gaining weight, experiencing morning sickness, etc., including the body hair becoming heavier. Body hair is an important part of our body, it is distributed all over our body. Many people may not know the reason why body hair becomes heavier, so why does body hair become heavier during pregnancy?

1. Hormone secretion increases and hair renewal slows down. After pregnancy, the secretion of maternal hormones increases greatly, but because the maternal metabolic function slows down, these hormones cannot be excreted from the body, which often leads to the occurrence of many pregnancy phenomena. One of the phenomena is that the renewal rate of hair slows down, so the hair becomes more numerous and dense.

2. Estrogen increases and hair growth rate increases. Due to the increase in the secretion of estrogen during pregnancy, testosterone and adrenal cortex hormones also increase accordingly, which increases the hair growth rate accordingly. Generally, it increases by 20%, so the "crazy growth" of hair is a normal phenomenon.

3. Estrogen secretion stimulates androgen. The increased secretion of estrogen in the expectant mother's body stimulates the secretion of androgen in the mother to a certain extent. With the increase of male hormones, the growth rate of hair accelerates, and the "crazy growth" of body hair during pregnancy becomes more "natural".

Body hair growth during pregnancy occurs mostly in the first trimester. This is caused by hormones known as androgens. In addition to new hair growth, some women notice abnormal hair growth, including stray hairs, on their chest, abdomen, arms, thighs and back.

1. Hair becomes thicker and denser. Careful expectant mothers may find that after pregnancy, their hair has become denser and thicker than before. The hair loss phenomenon that used to worry you has also been greatly alleviated, and your hair may even become straighter.

2. The body hair grows longer and longer. After pregnancy, a lot of hair often grows on various parts of the expectant mother's body. Especially near the midline of pregnancy, the hair grows particularly fast. One mother even joked that she would soon become a "gorilla".

3. Body hair grows longer. Some expectant mothers who have more body hair will find that the hair on their body is getting longer and longer, and becoming darker and darker, and sometimes even feels as thick as hair. Some mothers, looking at the small black hairs on their legs, even began to complain that they were about to become "the child's father."

At present, there is a saying among the people that expectant mothers can judge whether the baby in their belly is a boy or a girl based on the changes in the roots of the pubic hair. You know. After pregnancy, most pregnant women's pubic hair and body hair will become thicker and darker, but if the roots of the pubic hair begin to turn yellow, it means that she is definitely giving birth to a daughter. I heard that it is because there is more estrogen and less androgen, which means there is a little beauty in the belly, so the estrogen increases.

There is actually no scientific theory to support this statement. But expectant mothers need to note that pubic hair should be shaved before giving birth. After removing the pubic hair, it will be easier for the doctor to disinfect and suture the perineal wound of the expectant mother who is giving birth naturally. Moreover, bacteria can easily grow in pubic hair, and the fetus may be infected when passing through the perineum, causing disease.
