How did you....

Shave your legs when 32 weeks and on...I mean I feel like I've put on a winter coat in just a couple weeks! And how did/do you dry off your lower legs after showering> I huff and puff and have to sit down to relax! This pregnancy is sure getting to me!!

And don't get me started on getting dressed (underwear and pants, socks and shoes are out!) Love that my 2 year old gets a kick out of it!!

Re: How did you....

  • I managed somehow - I think I tended to pick up my legs to shave them.  Some of my MoM friends started getting waxed at the end.  As for drying off, I sat down on the toilet seat.  And I live in New Mexico, so things dry pretty fast on their own!

    The one good thing about being huge in the summer was that I could live in sundresses and sandals - the easiest thing in the world to put on!

  • I put my foot on the corner of the tub and haven't had too much trouble shaving... As far as drying off, I put my foot on the toilet and then wrap the towel around each leg. Most of the trouble I'm having now is grooming myself lol

  • I didn't shave my legs after I got put on full bedrest....I wasn't allowed to even get up to shower for over 2 weeks. After awhile I had DH attempt to use his electric razor to make it not quite so bad! Once I was allowed up for 5 minute showers, I did address the underarm situation. LOL

  • I'm on hospital bedrest and they told me not to shave my legs, so I'm just not going to.  I'll do my underarms, but at this point, I'm letting go of vanity.  I'll get it all back, though!  That's what I keep telling myself, haha!

    I made DH shave my legs a couple of times.  I can't stand the feel of hairy legs.  It all gets pretty difficult.  Hang in there.

  • The legs haven't been an issue quite yet. Must be the height of the tub that works with the angle I need to get at. The bikini area has been another story. I can't stand being hairy so I give it my best effort still.

    Socks, shoes, and undies are way harder for me! Anything I need to bend over for. I had H help me put on socks a couple times now.

     

    s/o shaving, has anyone noticed their leg hair not growing in as fast or thick? I swear I don't have to shave as much as I used to. I assume it's a hormonal thing.

  • Thanks ladies. I have that lovely pubic symphisis pain that heightened after falling, so I can't physically lift my leg to the toilet to dry :( I was shaving in the tub maybe I'll try the shower next time.

    And I wish my hair was slowing down, it has just sped up and turned dark in color. I feel gross looking like a teenage boy with my legs in stirrups at the doc office. DH might just have to add shaving to his never ending list of things he has to do for me :)

  • We have a soaking tub in our master bathroom so I would sit in the corner on the edge (since it was big enough) and put my leg on the other corner to shave (if you can follow my description). I put my foot on the toilet to dry off so I don't have any other suggestions on that, but GL!
