Hello,

Thanks for posting your query.

Hirsutism is a condition where female has excess facial and body hair which is dense and coarse.

Pregnant women may notice more hair growth during third trimester.

Especially on the face, arms, legs and breasts.

This is normal and is not a sign of Hirsutism.

Hope I have answered your query.

Wishing you good health.

Regards,
I find this answer helpful
