I am pregnant for almost 4 months. I have noticed that my hair have started to grow more then usually. On my face, tummy, legs, under the arms and in the pubic area. Yesterday, I have said to my husband: "You have married a little monkey!" He laughed. But it is not so funny for me. Is it safe to use hair removal cremes while pregnant?

When I had my first pregnancy I had a same problem like you. The most annoying for me was the hair on my legs. So I went to see my doctor. He told me that it is OK to use hair removal creams if you follow the instructions. First you must read the manufacture's instruction. Then you must not use it on your face or broken skin. Also it would be wise to test it first on a small area of skin. That is because during pregnancy skin is more sensitive.
