My wife is 7 months pregnant. She quit shaving everything. Is this normal?

Question

She never shaved down there, but at about 6 months pregnant she quit shaving armpits and legs. Is it normal for women to neglect this while pregnant?

Answer 1

Become a woman and experience pregnancy and then come back here and ask questions lol. Sorry had to ;o). Seriously I don't know, legs I can understand because it may be difficult for her to reach them now. Be a kind and generous husband and ask her if she would like you to shave them for her :o).

Answer 2

Yea that is very normal. When I was 7 months pregnant shaving just wasnt something that I cared about. It's very hard being that pregnant, you have a huge stomach and that probably isnt the first thing on her mind. I dont know about the armpit thing but shaving your legs is hard to do when she can barley see them past her tummy. Dont stress about it she'll shave again when she has time after the baby is born! And good luck with the baby!

Answer 3

I'm still shaving my armpits but I *cannot* reach my legs because I am only allowed to shower and don't want to fall over - my balance is really wacky.

You could try getting her an electric razor, if I we had one in the house I would probably try that but we can't afford the expense right now.

Also, your wife feels very unattractive and probably doesn't even think you've noticed - I guess you guys do and I'll have to go to a little more effort for *my* hubby now, lol.

:) Congratulations!

Answer 4

Sure. I never shaved even before I got pregnant. She's still beautiful. Maybe she's trying to test you to see if you still love her, hair and all.

Think about it though - she's already carrying around a baby in her belly, that's tiring enough. Imagine having to bend over to shave your legs with that big belly?! I can't imagine it. I never did. And don't expect it to go away when the baby's born either. She probably wont even have time to SHOWER then, let alone shave. (HINT : GIVE her time to shower. Most dads just think that they go to work and some how super mom gets everything done and still does something for herself - it doesnt happen this way)

Answer 5

Excuse me, but have you tried tying a pillow around your tummy and bending over? That's how your wife feels. I didn't shave my legs very much when I was pregnant. As for the armpits, I didn't bother with those too much either. I was too busy growing a baby. And that made me tired quite a bit.

Answer 6

I stopped shaving my legs at 7 months pregnant except I did struggle & make sure I shaved them before they induced me. IT HURTS to bend & twist to get the shaving done. I did, however, shave my underarms daily *but* I'm the type of person who cannot stand armpit hair. It's very normal for her to stop shaving her legs - it's so uncomfortable to do it. Have you offered to help her?

Answer 7

Yes, this is normal. I don't know about the pits though cause I can't stand to have hairy pits so mine were always shaved. It is very hard for a women to shave her legs and other areas below because at 6months she is to big and it is very uncomfortable. If you want them shaved then you could do it for her. I'm sure she would apreciate it very much. Pamper her a little she is after all having your child!

Answer 8

shes tired! leave her alone! u have done enough by getting her pregnant! lol! if u tell her u dont like it that shes stoped shaving shes gonna be so pissed at u. least i would. she is 7 mos preg.? then she is probably so tired and can hardly reach to shave n e way. u dont even know what a woman and her body go thru during pregnancy. just get over her hairy armpits and wait till shes had the baby, she'll shave them again then.

Answer 9

This is very normal! It was too hard to bend down to shave your legs (not to mention a little risky). The armpit thing just happens because we women get in the habit of doing the legs and armpits at the same time....that when we don't do the legs...we forget the armpits. I was embarrassed at one of my Dr. visits because my legs were so hairy, my Dr. laughed and looked at my husband and said "why don't you shave her legs for her!" I died laughing. I would have appreciated the gesture from my husband, but I would not want to let him do it.....I like my legs in tact...even if they did look hairy!

Answer 10

Um yes it's normal. Haven't you been around her for the past 7 months watching her struggle and grow and change????

Offer to do it for her, but make it seem like you're just trying to be a sweetheart. Don't let her know it is because you just want her shaved. Make her feel pampered. It is the last chance she'll get for a long time after the baby comes!

Answer 11

what's the big deal, about shaving, do you shave your legs, and armpits? believe you me, we women don't like looking at your extra bits of hair either. We were all made with hair, why is it that women have to shave these areas, and men can go around like gorillas if they want, without anyone saying a thing?
