Not that I'm complaining - but I'm [body] hairless!

vszapp · March 2014

I've always been on the blond furry side, but with this pregnancy even more than my last, my arms are practically hairless and I don't have to shave my legs for weeks (though maybe that's just because I can't see them). LO #1 was a girl, no clue what this one is, but maybe it's just how my body reacts to the hormones. Anyone else have this? I'm wishing I could bottle this as hormonal hair removal therapy after pregnancy...

Me too! I thought I was a freak! I'm with you though - I love being body hairless

I've got darker hair but have also noticed I dont have to shave my legs as much. On the weird side though I do have to shave my armpits more (and I lasered those years ago)

This! It seems like I have more hair now than I did before the laser procedure

I'm the total opposite.
I think I'm turning into an ape....

cbrust · March 2014

Totally opposite for me! My hair is growing almost 2x as fast (and I have horrid roots to show for it). I used to be able to shave my armpits every other shower but now it's everyday. Weird how our bodies react differently to all the hormonal changes!

What is the sex of your LOs? Think there's any truth to the old wives tail that girls cause less hair and boys more?

With DS I rarely had to shave. It was so weird! This time I'm pregnant with a girl and I have to shave all the time!

sparklingdiamond · March 2014

I wish this was the case for me! I feel like mine just grows faster! I got my hair done not that long ago and already have roots!

OK, now I feel better. I thought it would be the opposite, but I want to get a pedicure tomorrow and just checked my legs before and wondered if I was sleep shaving or something because it was like I just shaved....

julesf817 · March 2014

Ya know now that you mention i think my leg hair is growing slower! because it's become hard i haven't been shaving my legs everyday like I used to, and I think it's been at least three days and I don't look nearly as much like the grape ape as I used to after this long.

I can honestly go 2 weeks without shaving my legs at the mo. I last did them on Saturday and I've barely got end of day stubble. FTR I'm having a girl.

fatbarbie0226 · March 2014

Ew I'm the opposite! I've got some major peach fuzz all over my belly and all over the sides of my face and chin. I have to wax now and I've never waxed before! Didn't have this with my first (girl) now I'm a fuzzy ape! (Boy)

dogsombrero · March 2014

Nope I'm going hairy and I've got skin color changes (like flesh toned fairly flat moles) on my belly in 3 places. Yay for hormones!

Exactly this. My stomach has legit hair growing all over it, and my legs and arms are growing hair faster than ever. I'm having a girl, though.

My leg hair is definitely growing slower and thinner. I'm usually a bear, but not anymore. Armpit hair though is still on bear status.

I'm getting those too! Like some of the freckles are changing and are now raised!

NorthernGal248 · March 2014

I'm having a girl - legs have a lot less... but... but... I'm getting hair between my boobs!

spinsoffresonance · March 2014

Haven't noticed any body hair changes with this LO yet. But The hair on my head decided to grow bangs! Team green. When I was expecting DD I grew black hair all over my belly, so gross!

bam326 · March 2014

Me too! I am having a girl and have only had to shave my legs and arms about once every 3 weeks or so- the hair just doesn't grow! I'm loving it.

Same here! I have been going a week between (it takes so long I save it for longer, weekend showers haha).

Having a boy---my legs rival Sasquatch

theoryofwhat · March 2014

I've got a furry stomach and I'm having a girl. Screw old wives' tales.

spacepotatoes · March 2014

I'm having a girl. My leg hairs have slowed down and I only shave them once a week. Underarms haven't really changed. My belly has always been on the fuzzy side and now those hairs are darker. I've always had hair on my chin/sides of my face. That's been growing back faster but patchier. Right now, there's barely anything on the right side but all coming back on the left. I have to wax more frequently than I used to.

meli1025 · March 2014

I'm having a boy but barely have to shave my legs anymore. It just doesn't grow back and when it does, it's really fine. With DS1 I was a hairy beast. Old wives tale not true in this case!
