Hair on legs

Sorry for the weird question.  Does the hair on anyone else's legs get really thick during pregnancy?  I usually don't have to shave every day but they are so thick the catch the sheets at night and hurt.  I remember this from my first pregnancy and it has started with this one.

The hair on my legs is the worst! Since I can't bend over to shave them my husband does it for me.

It must be different for everyone. I have no hair on my legs. I shaved back when I first found out I was pregnant (October) and I have maybe five hairs on each leg and they aren't even worth shaving off.

Yes! And my leg hair grows back fast now. Usually I could go 3 days before I really felt hair, now it's like no matter what they're always hairy even a couple hours after I shave

Well, I'm right there with the other ladies! My hair is growing so quickly and thick, but of course on every place but my head! It seems like my husband and I are in competition to see who can grow the most hair! I feel like I should have been one of the characters in the Capital One credit card commercial with Alec Baldwin, I know I would have won!!

My hair on my legs is growing quicker and I usually only have to shave like once a week. Now I do it every other day. But the hair on my head is thin and flat and my nails are flaking and breaking. I don't get it. With my first pregnancy my hair got super full and thick!

My hair also stopped growing on my legs. I'm 37 weeks and have shaved in months. Would be nice if it continued this summer!

Were rowing the same boat, I have chewbacca leg. My hair is falling out and my nails are brittle. Im seriously thinking in getting a pixie cut, im loosing a lot of hair. Dr said it was normal,  that every pregnancy is different.  I have 3 cousin's that are pregnant and they all have this really nice, long hair smooth skin and not a lot of leg hair. Seriously /=

I have less hair on my legs! I'm also losing hair from my head. I blame the hormones. With my daughter I lost hair, but after she was born. This time it's happ during my pregnancy.
