I noticed the same thing with my legs. Normally I have to shave every three days or so, lately it's been over a week before I have to shave again. I quite like this! Now if only those weird blonde belly hairs would go away...

My hair growth on my legs was out of control in first tri! But I have noticed it has slowed down, it's been over 2 weeks since I shaved my legs but they're hairy-er than usual. I do my underarms every few days and down there I usually leave to do its own thing while hubby is away for work I'm sure it'll be looking wild by now not able to really see now is a real pain as you just have to guess and hope for the best! I used to be able to wax myself but the bump just gets in the way now! I'm not sure if its just down to years of waxing or the pregnancy hormones have slowed it down but sped it up in other unwanted areas!!

Not lucky here either I think part of my hair growth problem is that I'm having a boy and that extra testosterone is making it grow just as fast if not faster than before pregnancy...my tummy hair is horrible, my chin hair is still growing and my legs need shaved again only hours after shaving...its awful

This is the same with me. Never had a lot of dark hairs but enough I felt I needed to wax almost weekly-fortnightly. Now I'm going about a month! Living it!!! My tummy has got tiny blonde hairs all over it.... Hairy belly is funny!

I know that there are a lot of old wives tales out there about gender, but I heard this one is accurate from a doctor my mom works for. The doctor asked if my leg hair was growing faster or slower. I cannot skip a day shaving and I used to go days without it! My leg hair is growing like weeds. I have heard others have stopped!
The doctor said those carrying a boy have more testosterone in there system, which causes hair growth. Girls do not. I wonder if there is some truth to this. I find out soon if I'm having a girl or boy but have thought it was a boy from day 1. Are you ladies sure of the gender if you have stopped growing leg hair?!
