Hair Growth & Gender

[dreamsofxy2013]

So I have a question for all you ladies, what was your leg hair growth like during your pregnancies and what gender did you have? I know its just another OWT, but during my pregnancy with DD my leg hair growth ( and armpit hair growth sorry tmi) really slowed down a lot and I only had to shave like once a week! This time, for the first 8 weeks my hair was growing a lot faster than normal and I had to shave every day....but now I have hit week 9 and it seems to be slowing down again. I am worried now this is a sign its another girl. I know hair growth and gender is just an OWT, but for some reason I am now convinced its girl and I wont be getting my boy next All my other symptoms though so far have been completely opposite from my pregnancy with DD. Anyone here have OPPOSITE experiences with hair growth during pregnancies of the SAME gender? or the SAME experiences and OPPOSITE gender? Thanx

My leg hair growth really slowed down in both DS1 and DS2s pregnancies. I haven't noticed a difference in this pregnancy yet, but I can't remember at which point the growth slowed in my other pregnancies, I think it was later on.

My first three boys my leg hair grew faster and with this baby boy my hair barley grows I can shave like once a month

Dloui128, your story gives me hope! I know I shouldn't base anything off of these signs, but its hard not to for some reason...I am just really hoping to have my boy next So I find myself obsessing over every little sign lol.

I don't remember with my 1st two boys, but with DS3 my leg and armpit hair grew faster than I could keep up with! I swear I would have to shave every single day or I would look like a man. With this pregnancy (a girl) I barely have to even shave once a week. With that said, I'm not sure it really means much.

No worries I obsessed over the same things when I was pregnant with DS. The only thing that I can honestly say was any different between my pregnancies is with DS I was a miserable, moody, depressed, fly off the handle person while pregnant. I was never like that before, people were afraid to even talk to me

I personally think it has more to do with baby's growth spurts with a lot of old wife tales. Like the hair growth one it might just be a symptom of baby having a growth spurt and the excess hormones they produce may lead to extra growth in the hair and nails kwim?

Dreamofxy I had the same as you with DD 1st time round and now with DS I had crazy hair growth for the 1st trimester which then slowed to next to nothing. Here is hoping for you but going by my experience it is a good sign
