Don't forget to shave your legs....

**Ashleigh<3** · 28-02-2008 08:39

When you're off to have a pelvic scan and it just so happens you walk into the room and are greeted by a good looking, young man.
"Hello, I will be your sonographer today".

I think the hairs on my legs grew an inch all out of nervousness.

Suppose I should tell you also, don't forget to drink loads of water, cause if you don't, they may ask if they can do an internal scan.
Oh why did I say yes! I could feel the hairs on my legs accidentally rub up against his arm...

EEEKK.
Poor man is scarred for life.

Share your hairy legged stories please.
I need a good coping method.

For the record, It was not a pregnancy scan.

Oh dear

That would have been aweful!! I had a few internal scans aswell... thankfully my sonographer was a woman

Hairly leg stories.....

Ok, my ex boyfriend's brother (this is when I was 15) told me I needed to do my bikini line when we were at the pool once

I was mortified!!

As I was always busy with my children and rushing to pick dh up and get to our obs appointments on time, most of my appointments had me explaining and apologising why I hadn't shaved them.

ETA PB Omg, how funny is that. I bet it wasn't at the time though

Pmsl- that would of been embarrassing, don't get me started on my bikini area, now I'm even more worried for the sonographer, in fact, I'm sure he's already handed in his resignation and bailed from this profession forever!

I can share a "hair free" story instead.

We were going away for a week in Jan this year ... to the beach, so I thought I better get rid of the really, really hairy legs and bikini line. Of course I left it till the last minute to book an appt, couldn't get in anywhere ... so did a walk in at this place at a major shopping centre.

All was going well .... very painful, but I thought that was cause I was pregnant.

I get home and find I've got big patches on my legs where there is still hair, a burn on one calf and then my bikini line ...... well, I'd asked just for a normal bikini wax ... had on normal undies (not a g-string). I get home and find I'm 1/2 bald! Half as in one side of my fanny was bald and the other wasn't!

My husband was nearly wetting himself laughing!

Sorry to those who know me IRL ... this was probably more than you wanted to know.

And the sadder thing was .... I had my 12 week scan the day after we get home from holidays .... no time for hair to grow and of course .... it had to be an internal scan.

Oooh, I can beat that! I had to get a chest x-ray done once. The (very cute, young, male) technician told me - and I quote - to undress to the waist. He said NOTHING about putting something over myself (ie a gown) and there were none in the cubical...so I thought - I can't walk out there naked, I'll just leave my top on til the last moment and then take it off. Which is what I did. Which is when the technician turned around and said "No, you should have put a gown on!"

Boy did I have a go at him! "What gowns?! When did you tell me anything about gowns?! And where are these mythical gowns??"

I bet he never made that mistake again - I don't know who was more embarrassed - him or me!

So you see, hairy legs are nothing - a semi-accidental boobie flash....now THAT'S something to be embarrassed about!

Pmsl, what a silly man!

When they were testing my heart rate I had one of those scans where you have to be topless and it was a man too, gosh it was embarrassing cause they have to look to see where to put the little readers. (Whatever they call them).
I get uncomfortable like that quite easily.

Before my recent op, they had already given me one drunken injection and they asked me before giving me the good stuffs that would knock me out cold- "Now are you sure you don't have any metal on you?".
I was a bit dopey from the first injection and I said, "OH WAIT, I have a bra on and there's metal wire in it, oh ****! *nurse quickly takes it off more me* while I am apologizing like a drunken skunk.

**KapowSchazam** · 28-02-2008 09:11

OMG they're all just HILARIOUS!!!!

Sorry, but I've never had anything like you girls happen to me...how boring

But keep 'em coming! I'm gonna subscribe to this thread!
