Reduction in growth of body hair...BOY OR GIRL???!!!

[goodcatholicgirl]

HI y'all!
I'm 20 weeks pg, my second pgy. I am normally quite a 'hairy mutha' but have noticed a definite reduction in the growth of the hair on my legs, and arms (yes, I have my arms waxed! )
My hairdresser even commented, without me saying anything, that my head hair, was finer (normally have thick hair).

I know this can happen in pgy, 3 people have told me it's indicative of a girl, but three friends who had boys said they def had it too.

First pgy had no reduction in hair growth and had a girl.

Any comments???

Definitely indicative of a girl.

Or a boy.

oooooo, cheeky!!!

Don't mind what I have, would like one of each but would equally like two girls.

I'm not that desperate to know, not finding out at 20 week scan!

girl

I got very hairy both times and had two boys.

Girl.

Didn't shave my legs as much when pregnant with DD... or maybe I just stopped caring.

This happened in both of my pregnancies.

I have one girl and one boy!

Nothing! I got hairier with my DD and my DS. I found I couldn't pluck my own eyebrows anymore, baby wouldn't let me inflict pain on myself - had to get them waxed much more often.

Girl

I had two boys and was deffo less hairy while preggers with both!

Maybe it's a pregnancy thing.

my legs got less hairy
my tummy got hairy
head hair got even thicker with both pregnancies

was a girl both times

Sorry to add a serious note to this conversation, but I was warned that this might be an indication of a thyroid problem. I noticed that my body hair has grown less and my head hair hardly drops out like it used to, now that I'm pg.
Turned out to be nothing, but Goodcatholicgirl I would mention it to your midwife.
I don't know what I am having!

First pregnancy - very noticeably less hair (legs in particular) - noticed it even without knowing it was something to look out for (and I'm not generally v hairy anyway) so all very marked = boy

Second pregnancy - no noticeable change = girl

No subsequent pregnancies (so no useful parallel testing).

I am expecting a girl and I am 39weeks. I have had more hair in some areas, but less on others! So I guess it just depends!

The hair between my navel and ankles has taken on a life of its own.
I reckon I'm having a boy, but who knows?

According to old wives tales it's a girl but it happened this time to me with ds3...only needed my legs waxed twice in 9 months

I barely had to shave during preg and my nails didn't grow much. Also cancelled a hair appt as it barely grew. I had a boy!

I was much less monkey-like in pregnancy and I have a bonny boy. I think it's just the pregnancy hormones that do it.

This thread had reminded me to make an appointment to get my legs waxed, as my DH kindly told me last night that i had legs like a sailor's

With DS, I had a lot less hair, only had to shave once in the second and third trimesters

Hair on head was thick and lovely and got really long. Tummy got fluffy but I think this is just the hairs already there standing up as your skin stretches. Legs only hairy at the bottom (where I couldn't reach) and this is still the case nearly 3 years on. Mine were all boys.

OK, so basically, it could be either!!!!

Thanks all of you!!!
