The Fresno native went on to reveal that shewas bullied when she was younger for the hair on her legs. "I grew up HATING the hair on my body. I was teased for it, snuck my mom’s razor at age 9, and would pray that god would remove my hair from the neck down. I would panic every time I got invited to go swimming and hadn’t shaved," she added.

"When I got pregnant, I decided to work to overcome this insecurity. It’s not about 'not believing in shaving,' it’s about believing I AM BEAUTIFUL, ATTRACTIVE AND 'FEMININE' NO MATTER WHERE I HAVE HAIR ON MY BODY," Bekah wrote.

"It’s about showing girls you don’t have to listen when society tells you your natural features are ugly or gross," she said. "It has taken months to get used to it. The horrible online comments don’t help. But I’m getting there."
