I am 37th week pregnant and i have been taking progesterone sustained tablets from past 3 months... I have observed there is growth in my facial n body hair.. Even there is linea nigra on my stomach .. Also pigmentation too has increased... Is it normal during pregnancy or is it due to medication?? Will these changes go on their own after delivery? Pls help

It s normal during pregnancy to hv increased hair growth , pigmentation and linea nigra.. These changes usually revert back to normal post delivery and if persistent you can consult a dermatologist after 6 weeks postpartum
