Less hair on legs/face during pregnancy

[Eva]

Has anyone experienced less hair on legs face etc when pregnant? (but more hair on my head!!!) Im thinking this may mean i am having a girl? :confused:

yes i noticed i didn't have to shave to my legs as often & i have long hair & usually heaps in my brush but while i was pregnant hardly any fell out - needless to say i had a girl & she had heaps of hair!!!

This is the best thing about being pregnant for me - I don't have to wax my legs and I have 9 months of good hair. But I had a boy last time and looks like it is the same this time - so I think it has more to do with hormones then the sex of the baby.

Yeah i agree its awsome - i shaved my legs a week ago and havent needed to again since! :)

Yes I had that too. Less hairy legs and fuller hair. Hair fell out after and legs are a lot hairier. I had a boy :p

I hardly had to shave my legs at all whilst pregnant.....and I had a boy :D

Thanks ladies - i was thinking maybe i had an excess of female hormones and that this might mean a girl - looks like i will have to wait till the birth to find out the gender! :)

I guess it must be just part of pregnancy but i must agree with everyone else. I hardly need to shave my legs at all. Maybe our bodies just know that there is no way we can easily maintain our legs when our bellies get too big, so the hair just doesn't bother growing. I don't know about anyone else but I found after my son was born and i started breastfeeding the hair on my legs went back to normal slowly but the hair under my arms seemed to almost completely stop growing until my son slowed his breastfeeds when he started on solids.
