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?

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

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

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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