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...

@Amy and @Alicia 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

@Amy 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! 🤣

My forearm hair has fallen out 😂🙈

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

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

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