I have very fine hair and to me it still seems really fine even though I'm 35 weeks. It is a bit thicker than it was but not by a huge amount. I don't think my hair has been growing any faster though at all.

When I went off my birth control, I started taking pre-natals from Nov-February just in case anything happened, but stupidly stopped!!! Anyway, during that time my hair grew like crazy. I had to get my hair cut every couple of weeks when I can usually wait 2 months or so. My hairdresser asked me if I had taken any vitamins and I told her pre-natals. She said all the extra vitamins and minerals in the pre-natals help hair grow a lot faster.

So I'm not sure if its the actual pregnancy or the pre-natals. But either way, since I've been pregnant I've had to shave my legs more often, unfortunately haha. I read an old wives tale that says if the hair on your legs grows faster than before you were pregnant, it means a boy! So we'll see! hah

LOL i hope not... my hair is already down to my butt and if it gets any longer it will just get in the way, it is still growing but at a much more manageable rate, if it starts growing faster i will have to spend a fortune on the hairdressing appointments! I have noiced my hair is much more healthy looking and easier to brush, which is good, also its a LOT less greesy don;t judge but I managed to go a week without washing it and people were still saying how nice my hair looked!! Hmmm... I wonder how long I could go without washing it before people started saying my hair looks yukky.....

If it does, than it didn't happen for me. Actually I have noticed the hair on my legs has gone really patchy, and grows really slowly now. I am so not complaining!

I noticed body hair growing more slowly too when I was pregnant. As for hair, I must say it didn't seem to grow faster but it stopped falling out like it normally does. It's a known fact that for many this happens during pregnancy due to hormones. However, the disappointment is that the hair that didn't fall out for 9 months eventually does, postpartum. So it seemed like I was losing sooo much for a few weeks. It settled, though without a problem. But hair texture may change forever... Another pregnancy surprise!

Meh.. not for me. My pregnancy hair is dull with no life in it at all, and my pregnancy face is so greasy you could fry an egg on it. Also, the hair on your legs generally will grow slower but seems to move on to your belly! That's right welcome to the traditions of belly-hair!
