I've heard that to be a common thing to look for and observe since my first pregnancy in 2009. My leg hair grew less with my daughter then faster with my boys. It makes sense, but may very well just be a myth. I can't tell 100% yet with this one at 15 weeks.
Your leg hair grew faster too on prenatals? I can't keep them down still to take them this pregnancy yet!
Something in them makes my hair grow faster. It’s obviously more noticeable on my head since I don’t shave that daily. But it started when I first started taking them a year before I got pregnant. There was no difference in any hair growth once I actually got pregnant
It has maybe slowed down a bit right now in 3rd tri but everything before remained the same. I didn’t notice it with my first though. Both are boys. Prenatals with both. Hormones are a funny thing and unpredictable with each pregnancy. edited words

Interesting! My sister said she doesn't plan on getting pregnant again but still takes them because it keeps her hair healthier. I heard if you start the prenatal three months before you get pregnant that the morning sickness isn't as bad. Was that true for you?

Leg hair = growing the same as it did pre-pregnancy, pregnant with a boy Prenatals = still had bad all day ("morning") sickness for 20+ weeks, took them for two years before getting pregnant
In other words, old wive's tales are just that - tales. They're not based on concrete evidence and science.
Re: When did your leg hair start to change?
Leg hair and sex guessing is new.
My leg hair grew the same as normal for my boy and my girl.
