I have a c section scheduled for 10/5 and you can bet that I am NOT going to shave my legs again until the baby is at least a month old. I don't care if my legs get hairier than my husband's, I'm not going to do it. I don't even have to contort myself as much during sex as I do to get smooth legs right now.
Just had to vent a bit...it was worth the point loss. Thanks.

It doesn't matter if you shave your legs or not.. Do whatever makes you feel comfortable. My friend didn't shave from 32 weeks on until she felt completely healed after the birth. Personally I am 39 weeks along and I can not stand the feeling of hair on my legs and I have to go to through a lot to shave them.It takes me an hour and a half to shave WITH dad's help. I wish I was more comfortable I would go fuzzy too!
Good luck with the baby!

Only once in my lifetime did I observe a woman who did not shave her legs. The hair was protruding out from her nylons.
I have to tell you it did look gross.
Maybe you should have your husband help you shave, or try a product that removes the hair without shaving, or, go a la natural, but please, do not wear nylons with long leg hair.

In response to the poster above me people in Europe do shave their legs and underarms, that's the oldest, stupidest sterotype, I don't know why people can't get over it...But yeah, you're the one who's had to go nine months heaving a child around insude you, you do whatever you want!

i take it you were arguing with someone over this.
and most likely it was your husband you were arguing with. tell your husband to shave you! it's freaking hard to shave after 7 months pregnant. much less keeping your toes pedicured all by yourself.
personally, i chose to wax my woohoo while i'm pregnant. my theory is....it's less time then waxing since it's only once a month, and someone else gets to do it.

You can always get your husband to do. I was lucky enough to be able to continue to shave the lower half of my legs at least! But who cares if you have hairy legs, everyone in Europe does, it's normal there.

Believe it or not you dont have to struggle to do it yourself, that is what salons are for!! You and your husband may feel a lot better if you do visit the salon!
