itchy legs.....

I've noticed when I shave my legs they become extremely itchy after and weird enough my leg hairs don't grow as fast as they used to and I always try somehow to put cream on them as well. Is this pregnancy related? Anyone else?

Very true and I try putting cream as much as I can but yeah can't reach my legs very well due to the tummy lol. I ask bf to lotion me up when he can but that's hardly ever. Ugh the struggles. So waxing ? Not a bad idea, specially around the time baby will be born . definitely will do.

shaving can also leave your skin pretty dry.

@ elvendork that's very true , never thought of that and since my tummy's always itchy bc its stretched so much never occurred to me it could be that.  I'll try switching body wash and laundry detergent too let's see if that helps.  Thanks

@lovedmommy i will try changing razors thanks but its never happened to me before and I've always used the same brand so its very weird
@marieangelie so I'm not alone thank goodness lol   I agree its very weird and I can only associate it with the pregnancy bc it has never happened to me before and I scratch so hard to and even break skin. Ugh the struggles lol

I have no idea if it's pregnancy related, but my legs itch every time I shave too... It's so itchy that I scratch until I break my skin :( (whithout noticing of course). This has never happened to me before until know (I have 11 weeks) and my pores get infected. Very weird!

That happens to my legs as well but either because my razor is either brand new or its getting old.... so try checking your  razor.....
