2nd Trimester

I finally shaved...

my legs after a month! I don't think I've ever gone this long. I feel like a lady again. Stick out tongue

Before you start feeling bad for my DH, I've been on pelvic rest since early March so nothing is going on in that department anyhow. I now only shave for my OB! 

Have you ladies slacked on your shaving routines now that you're getting bigger? It's too much hassle for me to maneuver around the belly unless I have to...LOL.

Re: I finally shaved...

  • LOL, I was waiting to shave too and since I have an OB appt. tomorrow, I will shave tonight.

  • I shave from the knee-down about every three days or so... but only because I like to wear capri's a lot... especially the stretchy ones. I have noticed that my skin is really starting to get a lot more dry, so it is peeling a lot more now that I shave regularly.

    Trying to get any other parts of my legs/body shaved is now an adventure... we have a very small bathtub/shower stall and I cannot bend like I used to!

    I acutally find that I do it more. I guess it's because I know that eventually I won't be able to.
  • The hair on my legs has practically stopped growing...and I'm enjoying every single second of it.  I only shave when I have to.

  • I try and shave my legs at least once every 2 weeks. However my bikini area is a disaster. It's very 70's down there.. Embarrassed I need to get on that before Nair no longer works.

    Yes

  • If I hadn't had laser hair removal then I would be disgusting, girl.  You can easily talk your DH into paying for these treatments post pregnancy by telling him how much time you will save getting ready.  He'll love not waiting for you and you will never have to shave again thus making you feel like a sexy beast instead of just a wildebeast!
  • I feel like i am constantly shaving!!  I bought an electric razor so I dont have to deal with shaving in the shower.  I only shave from my thigh down, knee down when I use the electric razor.  I plan on getting bikini waxes to get me through the summer and I can go to the beach.
  • I went a while w/o shaving, but shaved for Easter since I wore a dress.  I've tried to keep up with it since, but I'm getting a little hairy again.  Poor DH hates it when I'm hairy, but he asked me if it was hard to do it now and understands somewhat that I can't really reach anymore. 

    I also try to keep up with it because I've started to use a self-tanner and feel it's pointless with hairy legs.

  • Nope, I am still as anal about it as ever. It's not always the most comfy thing in the world, but I go NUTS if I am unshaven for even a day.

  • I shave my legs every 2-3 days, but it's definitely growing back less often.  Shave under my arms every other day or so, but I could make it a bit longer.  As for bikini area... I've gone au naturel but take a hand mirror to trim and keep things neat.  For bathing suits... I ordered skirted ones and boy shorts from Target so I don't have to worry if I do a craptastic job by touch alone.

  • I'm glad I'm not the only slacker!  Since I've been on pelvic rest I also have not been shaving as often as I should.
