my leg hair isnt growing back...?

Not necessarily complaining lol, but I am curious. I shaved weeks ago. Looking at my legs, you'd think based on the stubble that it has been 2 or 3 days. Even more, when you look closer, you can see that some pores aren't even growing the hair strands at all. So wierd. The hair on my head gets thicker and thicket, but I can walk around in shorts after weeks of not shaving and no one would know. Anyone else experiencing this?

Re: my leg hair isnt growing back...?

  • I have noticed that I have less hair growing back. I don't shave nearly as often mainly because it is so uncomfortable to bend over.

  • I have noticed this too. It is so strange!!

  • Makes sense if you think about it. That everything not vital to our survival is being given to the baby and this is when they pack on the pounds etc. :) I'll take it though, shaving is hard with my belly in the way.

  • I did notice this. I was in the shower the other day and thought I should shave... well I didn't need to, you couldn't tell it had been at least 2 weeks... like you said if I didn't know any better I'd say it had been 2 or 3 days

  • I've noticied it too! I was wondering if it had something to do with what gender you were having, but i see from the responses it's not dependant on boy or girl. (darn - thoguht it might give me some sneaky insight.lol)

     I'm not complaining though, especially when shaving is so much work at this point! 

  • Me, too! Definitely not complaining, it is so hard to bend over enough to shave. I thought it might be because my legs are so swollen.

  • If you're like me, you haven't been shaving as often, which means that your hair isn't growing back as fast as normal. Some of it might be attributed to pregnancy, but this can also happen normally. But hey, I'll take it! :)

  • I've noticed the decrease in hair growth too but it seems to be more than making up for itself by growing on my belly instead. What fun.

    Add me to that!  I hate you all (jk)!   I've stopped shaving (as I often do in the winter- he he).  Shaved the other day since I was getting a pedicure and it's growing back just as fast as it always does!  Oh and on the belly- it's very attractive!

  • I've noticed this too but only on my legs. No such luck for my underarms or bikini line!
  • Beaotches!!! My leg and underarm hair is growing twice as fast but my head hair is just as thin and prone to frizz as always!!

    My family is a Foreign Service family. Families like mine are posted in every corner of the globe. We live our lives away from family, friends and the conviences and comforts of home. We often live and work in dangerous places among those that misunderstand our intentions and purposes. Sometimes members of our ranks sacrifice our lives to further diplomacy.  Please remember that we serve too. And I'm always open to questions.

  • I noticed this too and I am loving it!!  I hate shaving my legs, my hair grows back so fast normally.  So I am going to enjoy this while it lasts!

  • Ha, all my leg hair went to my belly!  I swear I have a hairy belly now (luckily it's mostly blonde, but still... my belly was NOT that hairy before).

  • wait, you guys still shave? Surprise

    i don't think i've shaved since september. probably partly because i live in a cold climate, and it's not necessary, partly because i'm lazy, and partly now if i tried i'd probably fall over. my leg hair has never been intense though, so i rarely did it anyways. 

    but ditto pp with the belly hair. srsly. wtf is up with that? i have black hair (although this hair is so thin you can hardly see it), and it's *not* attractive.
