I am a 39 year old woman who had a baby 4
months ago. While I was pregnant I
noticed that after shaving my legs not as
much hair as usual was growing back. Only
about 1/4 of what I usually had. After I
gave birth, my
underarm hair didn't grow back much after
shaving, again only about 1/4 if that. I
also noticed then that my arms weren't as
hairy as they used to be. A couple months
went by and now my pubic hair is rapidly
falling out. I've been to the doctor and
my thyroid checked out normal. I made an
appointment with a dermatologist but they
can't see me until August! It's really
upsetting me. I don't want this to get
any worse. Any ideas what's going on?
