Armpit hair disappeared completely!?!

I’m 11 weeks postpartum, and when I was 8 weeks pp I noticed my armpit hair had stopped growing. Absolutely nothing there! I mentioned it at my 8 week check up and doctor seemed baffled but I would have thought it’s something to do with hormones. Anyone else noticed this?

While i was pregnant I stop growing leg hair and my eyelashes are
short and non
Existing apparently it common if u carry a boy I’m
Not sure how true that is

Omg I'm in the same boat! My armpit hair is basically nonexistant and my leg hair is super slow to grow. I'm dark haird and used to have to shave every 2 days, now I can easily go a week. Carried a boy interestingly enough...

and that’s interesting! I carried a boy too!

My little boy is 8 weeks and still no eyelashes I can go weeks not shaving my legs I had to start wearing cluster lashes 🤣 hopefully they grow back x

I’m sure they will once everything balances out again. I’d happily keep the loss of my armpit hair, it’s like free laser treatment 🤣

I would love for my armpit hair not to grow to 🤣

I’m the same and had a boy also! All the hair on top on my legs have completely gone also.

Do you know I also noticed this the other day! I’ve definitely shaved in the last few weeks but can’t remember when. Also had a boy

Same!! I’ve noticed I barely have any arm hair either.
If only my leg hair would stop growing 🙄😂

I've noticed the other day that the hair on my arm has thinned and disappeared in patches. I forgot to mention it today at my 8week appointment. Also had a boy x

I had this! I used to shave every other day and I could go over a week after giving birth before even having a small bit of growth. It's starting to come back a bit more now but still only once a week is needed. Also had a boy 🤔

I stopped growing leg hair too and my eyelashes got really short when I was pregnant! Baby boy too! He's 7 weeks old now and still my leg hair isn't growing. Wish my underarms would be the same though! 🤣

Mine is definitely less, and growing slower, thinking about it Ive only shaved twice in 8 weeks

My has happened in both kids post partum, boy & girl

Nice to know it not just me. Unfortunately i can report my armpit hair has started grow back this week 12 weeks pp

Omg me too!!! I keep saying to my husband somethings not right I go to shave as it’s been a while and there is nothing there 😂 it used to grow within an hour after shaving and now practically nothing

mine would grow so quickly too. Unfortunately it didn’t last but it’s not back to the usual growth rate yet 😂

unfortunately I'm now back to my usual hairy self😂

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.

i just want someone to talk to😔😔😔😔

when things get hard i have nothing not any support from my partner im convinced he doesn’t even love me anymore but thats another story
I have a 3 yo and a 2yo that are in bed sleeping only just now. I have a 1 yo that’s been sleeping from 8 o’clock to 10 o’clock. I just gave her her milk and she would’ve gone back to sleep if it wasn’t that
I lost her dummy earlier in the day when I went out
so now she won’t go back to sleep and she won’t accept any of the other dummy’s i have!😔😔and it’s 10 o’clock and I’m gonna be up until 3 o’clock with her and when she does want to go to sleep i won’t have any dummy to give her she will accept and she won’t sleep without it i just wanna cry 😔i have nobody to talk to and i feel so alone i get no support from anybody i’m so tired and i don’t feel well to top it off😔

Not drinking

I’m going crazy. Baby born at 2.26kg. Slow to put on weight. This last week hasn’t put on any. Been trying to feed him at night and he’s not interested at all. Fast asleep. During day he will have 5 minute gulps and that’s it. He don’t cry for milk. I’ve got to keep offering to him. I try to offer it every hour but I don’t know what I’m doing. HV said nutrition comes after 5 minutes so I should pump first and then give him. I find it so hard. I tried to pump one boob nothing came. The other abit came. Tried giving him express he’s not interested in that too. Sometimes he will go for a longer a feed but not long at all. He’s 4 months and is currently 5.46kg. I have no family or friend support here and wish I had a cook, cleaner and nanny to help with everything so I can concentrate on the little one. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I’m loosing it. It doesn’t help that my also stressed generally about my relationship and life circumstances. Any advice that will work. Any comfort you can give. I’m fed up. Is this regression - not feeding. He’s fast fast asleep. I’ve been trying to push the nipple in but that mouth is closed shut. I took some clothes off. Changed his nappy but he’s still asleep. Please help

Sleeping bag

8 week old in sleeping bag for first time as big enough! Do you feed your child in the night whilst in the sleeping bag or taken them out, feed then transfer back to sleeping bag before putting down?

Has anyone died their kids hair a fun color and have any recommendations for kid friendly hair dye that actually works and stays in the hair for a bit? 👀👀👀
