Weird question, but is anyone getting excess hair???

Hi everyone,

I was in two minds to post this as i havnt seen a thread on it yet and im a tad bit ashamed, amd maybe its TMI (sorry),
But is anyone getting excess hair growth since becoming pregnant, Like facial hair or hair growth on the tummy etc. I have PCOS and becasue of the hormone imbalance i had excess hair problem before and spent a fortune to get it lazered but now its come back, im devistated as i hate waxing and plucking, makes me feel horrid.

Is there anything i can do to help reduce it at this stage??

I keep finding a couple stray hairs on my chin that are growing really fast and get long...I didn't notice the first til it was nearly a half inch long as the hair was blond. Whacked. I haven't noticed anywhere else as, to be honest, I'm not too fussed about shaving regularly unless it's either summer or I know I might be getting frisky with my man. But if I'm sure that neither is the case on a given day, I don't bother, lol
