Navel and chest hair problems

This is painfully embarrassing to post about. I have a problem with some hair growth. Hair comes in on my stomach really thick and dark, to the point where I shave it every day. I also get hair growth on my chest area between my breasts really dark, but not as thick. My gynecologist asked me if I got any sort of hair growth like this at a routine exam a while back, and I neglected to tell her about it because I find it extremely embarrassing. I did end up telling her about it at my next appointment, and all she said was "don't worry about it." Well, I am worrying about it. I was wondering if anybody has the same problem or if there's a reason for it? I took some pictures a few months ago. It's gotten worse and thicker since then, but they still show how bad it is..

Thank you for all the comments. I feel better in knowing that many people experience this. I'm not exactly "embarrassed" by all of my body hair. I know it's normal for women to have it, and at one point I refused to shave my legs or underarms for over three years. But the amount of flack I received from my own family, let alone strangers when wore shorts or tank tops made me uncomfortable and I shave now to spare myself from melt downs.
