Shaving legs in pregnancy--for those who get lots of nicks

[Anonymous]

I stopped shaving my legs when I couldn't see them any more.

OP, are you for real? Worried about infections from shaving nicks when you're pregnant???

Well, you just never know. I get a lot of nicks and was concerned about the possibility of getting an infection. But, on the other hand, it is summer, and I can't look like a yeti all the time otherwise I won't be able to wear shorts. I did think of a happy medium, though--an electric razor! No nicks and smooth legs.

Yes, it is. Hence the increased risk from listeria, etc.

This is not correct. The issue with listeria is that it causes a fetus problems (particularly in the second trimester). A non-pregnant healthy adult doesn't have nearly the issues with listeria as a fetus.

This has to be a sock puppet, right? I doubt you are going to bleed out or contact a serious infection from shaving nicks. Thanks for the hearty laugh, whoever you are!

I don't even know how to respond to this level of nuttiness...
Please relax, you are doing way more harm to your baby by being a total wacko and worrying about bizarre risks.

Legs are probably ok but, under no circumstances should you shave under your arms. Reason is that you have to raise your arms and this could cause umbilical cord to wrap around neck of fetus. If you choose yo esx be sure there is no parafin.

Congtatulations on being so conscious of these little things. I easm't and my poor children have paid the price for my negligence.

Are you nuts? I have never in my life heard that you can't raise your arms above your head while pregnant.

yeah, that's why so many people avoid lifting their toddlers, reaching for things on high shelves, stretching, and doing pre-natal yoga

not enough on the internet for your post

Should be If you choose "to wax." Didn't mean to scare you because "yo esx" is so dangerous.

You ladies may laugh but the "don't raise your arms or you'll strangle the baby" was legit advice in our grandmothers' day. Who knows what our kids will be laughing at us for believing?
