I am a lucky woman, I shave about once every other month and its not only because I do't want too, but that my hair is so fine you can barely see it. When DH rubs my legs he can't tell I look like a whookie! For real! I don't even have to shave under my arms but once a month....it just doesn't grow...my head and jj are normal growing but not the legs or underarms! It's amazing. Also my leg hair is super soft:)

Had to SS - I am more of a once every two weeks or so shaver.
so special occasions? I wish i could get away with that. my SIL and MIL don't have to shave AT ALL, it runs in their family too cause DH has hardly any arm or leg hair

Naw - just when I can't stand it no more. I have a ton of hair, but you can't really see my hair - so unless you are getting up close and personal with my legs you won't know it is there.
Special occasions, usually 1-2 a month. Like a PP, I have very very fine hair and you cannot tell it is unshaved unless you touch it, and even then it's baby soft and not prickly or coarse. And when I do shave, it's only my lower legs - my thighs have never been shaved, and the hair is almost undetectable.
Unlike the PP though, I have to shave my pits every.single.day. Not sure why my hair isn't fine there. My arms/legs = fine, blonde hair. My eyebrows/pits/nether region = dark hair.
Ditto for me - arms/legs - looks almost blonde and fine. eyebrows/pits/and the rest - auburn. I just don't bother with the pits all the time - but I am not wearing clothing that would be at issue with this.
SS - If I keep up with it I shave every other day. Lately I haven't been keeping up with it though, I only shave on the rare occasion W isn't screaming by the time I get conditioner in my hair. I'm kind of a wooley beast most of the time now, which is a great excuse for avoiding secksytime.
Fortunately I was blessed with blonde hair on my legs. So I shave probably once a week. Although, I only do one leg per shower lol. It takes too long to do both at the same time!

I said special occasions, but I really only shave or nair my legs a couple times a year, unless I get bored in the bathtub. I usually shave for dressy events like weddings, my anniversary, and that's about it. But, I don't have a ton of hair on my legs and it's fine and blond, so unless you're really close and looking for hair, it's not noticeable. If anything, my legs end up looking worse after shaving because of bumps and ingrown hairs. I'm pretty sensitive to razors. I'm also feeling pretty fat lately, so no one sees my legs anyway.
This is a totally random offshoot, but maybe a UO (I have been drinking).
I don't get the whole 'difficulty shaving while pregnant' thing. I got to be effing huge while pregnant last summer, and had no problems shaving. WTF?
I'm with you. I had an extremely physically painful pregnancy - I couldn't get out of bed by myself or walk 10 feet - but I could shave. Everyone's different though.
I shave every time I shower, so every 1-2 days. I couldn't care less if people can see it, but I hate the feeling of stubble.

I shaved from the knee down, but the thigh area and the vag seriously suffered. I was so huge though. I couldn't see or reach.
It all depends on if I get a chance to shower. DS is so clingy that he screams most of the time I am in the shower,so I have to keep it short. It is hard to shower after DS is asleep since he is a light sleeper and bathroom traffic causes him to wake. I used to shave everyday. I am hoping to get back to that at some point. I usually get it in once a week.

With my first, I didn't have the big beautiful baby belly that look like a basketball- I had a tire all around my waist. I felt like a weeble- wobble and shaving my legs was suuuuch a hassle.
W/ DD2, it was much easier. I had the basketball belly so I could at least lean to the side to shave my legs. And it was a summer pregnancy, so much more necessary.

In the winter- once a month if H is lucky. In the summer every other day.
I cheat and use an electric razor during the winter, spring and fall. I only shave when I'm in a bathing suit or am baring legs frequently.
Francesca Pearl is here! Josephine Hope is almost 3!
Pre-baby I'd shave every week or so during the winter. Every other day in the summer.
I think I've shaved twice since LO was born. I'm like a god-d@mn hippie!
ETA: I haven't had the privilege of getting my brows or lip waxed since LO was born. My freaking H owes me...
