Q: Dark Belly Hair & Flutters

I'm almost 14 weeks and I have a few questions on some things that have been bothering me.


First of all, since i've been pregnant i've grown dark hair on my belly. It's not that bad, but it's still a bunch of hair on my belly.


I've felt a couple of flutters this week and two pokes, do you guys think it's the baby?


Is it normal to get out of breath easy? It doesn't take much and i'm huffing and puffing. Lol

and another thing, no one told me that my belly would practically grow overnight and i'd start getting stretch marks so soon. I have them starting to come out on my boobs, one on my stomach, and on my thighs! Why on my thighs? I cried today when I saw the ones on my thighs. I swear they weren't there last night!

I feel like i've grown so much over the last week.


One more thing, my belly and boobs itch. What the heck is that all about?


And one comment -- I love being pregnant, it makes sex 10 times better. Now that's something my momma never told me! Lol

if you can answer or comment on any questions, feel free to do so. Lol

thanks alot!

The dark hair will go away after you have the baby, it's called linea nigra.

Flutters could be your baby...I felt my first flutters at 17 weeks.
I doubt the pokes are the baby...Its pretty early for that.

Yes, it is normal to get out of breath easy, it's the raise in progesterone.. Once that's over you get out of breath easy because of the extra weigh!

It does seem that your stomach appears overnight...Stretch marks can happen in any place you gain weight, make sure to keep your skin moisturized. It's mostly genetic though.

Boobs itching or any other area itching just means that the skin is stretching because of growth....Load on the lotion and cocoa butter cream!

Hope that helps...Ps I have a book called the pregnancy bible, it's great and answers pretty much all of the questions one may have about being pregnant.

Good luck!

Omg the itching is unberable. My cute little breasts are getting bigger and the streatch marks are really bad on them. I also have three on my belly around my belly button but I got them with my first pregnancy where I gained 30 lbs in like 4-5 days because of retaining water and they just appeared. They haven't gotten any bigger but they did get darker since I have 'expanded.'

the whole out of breath issue is horrid. I hate it. I can't clean my bedroom very well. My husband walks into it and everything comes off of him and onto the floor. Any other room in my home is easy to clean because I really dont' have to pick up the floor you know. Most stuff ends up on the counter or end table but in the bedroom, it's the floor for some reason. I do get out of breath trying to clean it up. Or walkiing around too much like at the flea market. Ack

arent the flutters wonderful. I didn't feel any until like 19 weeks either, or if I did I couldnt' tell if they were gas or flutters. But now at 26 weeks my baby is a gymnist. I love it.

I haven't gotten any dark hairs on my tummy but the hair on my head has gotten really dark in the last few months. I was really blonde but it's since gone dark, I have natural blonde highlights and they are now gone. The under side of my hair was really brown and now my whole head is.
