Or is it just me and am I weird? Lol...

Just realised I haven't shaved my pits for over two weeks and I would normally have a forest after that amount of time, I normally shave every couple of days. Could it be cos of breast feeding hormones or should I see my doctor?

Mine stopped after both my dc and only came back after I stopped bf. Great isn't it? :)

Is this why I only shave about twice a year?

I noticed my leg hair was growing more slowly!

Cosmosis · 13/01/2011 09:28

Yes, and leg hair. Not stopped, but vv slow. Has been since I was pregnant.

Mine too... but on the downside I seem to be losing shit loads from my head :(

islandbaby - it's normal to lose hair from your head after pregnancy - this happens to many women, bfing or not. It does stop and will grow back.

:) glad I an not a freak- actually quite convenient as I don't have very long in the shower any more... Maybe natures way of helping out by saving some time!

Thanks :) feel much better now that I am not imagining that it could be a sign that something dodgy is going on!

Wow, I just checked and you're right. I had vaguely noticed that bikini line need less trimming when preparing for swimming but not thought any more of it. What a bonus.

Samraves · 13/01/2011 12:47

Oh god! I had a slight bikini shaving incident when I decided to just use my dh beard trimmer... And cut one bit shorter than the rest and just checked, lo and behold I still have a patch much shorter than the rest :-( bum! Will have to make some time to try and sort that out!!!!

Oh dear. Could be permanent. You might have to fashion some sort of wig Grin

Samraves · 13/01/2011 13:20

Lol, I may need to invest in a murkin!
