I've had winter days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shaving-legs-in-3rd-tri-help#post-2246074 Sun, 26 Jul 2015 07:33:30 +0000 cat620 2246074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I shave in the bathtub, and that makes it a little easier. I can prop my leg up on the edge of the tub and move around easily to other positions if I need to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shaving-legs-in-3rd-tri-help#post-2245996 Sat, 25 Jul 2015 22:46:14 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2245996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: Same. I didn't have any trouble so long as I could put my leg on the bench in the shower. But my lady bits were another story! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shaving-legs-in-3rd-tri-help#post-2245704 Sat, 25 Jul 2015 11:50:48 +0000 Mrs. J 2245704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just put my leg on the side of the tub and have no issues (I'm 38+3). And I just get waxed instead of trying to see my hooha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shaving-legs-in-3rd-tri-help#post-2245497 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 21:38:10 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2245497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a deep garden tub so I sit on the edge of it and shave. But if that wasn't an option, I'd use a bucket of water in a lawn chair in the back yard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shaving-legs-in-3rd-tri-help#post-2245487 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 21:22:06 +0000 catomd00 2245487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sat on the edge of the tub and put my foot across to the other side. It was winter and I only really did it in labor!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shaving-legs-in-3rd-tri-help#post-2245463 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 20:39:17 +0000 FannyMae 2245463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm dreading the leg shaving when I get to this stage, its already hard enough to tie my shoelaces at only 22 weeks.</p> <p>All I can suggest is... switch to waxing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shaving-legs-in-3rd-tri-help#post-2245461 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 20:34:50 +0000 Crystal 2245461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Goose: I'm so Jealous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shaving-legs-in-3rd-tri-help#post-2245429 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 19:41:54 +0000 Bluemasonjar 2245429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: Not being able to see my hooha has definitely made it more challenging. I have to ask DH how I did lol</p> <p>I'm 40+ weeks and can shave my legs if I put my foot up in the corner of the shower but it has gotten harder to balance. Living in the south not shaving isn't really an option in the summer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shaving-legs-in-3rd-tri-help#post-2245419 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 19:23:16 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2245419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Crystal: pretty early.

Early on or later? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shaving-legs-in-3rd-tri-help#post-2245407 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 18:59:27 +0000 Ms. RV 2245407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gave up on doing it in the shower around 30 weeks. Right after my shower, I dry everything but my legs and shave them by putting my foot on the toilet seat. Then I rinse with a washcloth. The only bad part is my belly sometimes rubs the shaving cream off my upper legs when I lean over. It's faster and uses less water-- I might shave like this even when I'm not<br /> pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shaving-legs-in-3rd-tri-help#post-2245404 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 18:51:26 +0000 simplyfelicity 2245404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used a step stool...still difficult but doable </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shaving-legs-in-3rd-tri-help#post-2245403 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 18:51:01 +0000 travellingbee 2245403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: mine too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shaving-legs-in-3rd-tri-help#post-2245397 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 18:34:35 +0000 regberadaisy 2245397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, it's called your husband!!!

I used to have to shave my legs every two or three days, now I can go a week or week and a half and it still isn't even that bad or dark. It's weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shaving-legs-in-3rd-tri-help#post-2245380 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 17:49:27 +0000 raspberries 2245380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Instead of bending over, I have to lift my leg up and either put it on the side of the tub or the toilet - that helps. Or enlist your spouse's help? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shaving-legs-in-3rd-tri-help#post-2245379 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 17:48:40 +0000 SweetiePie 2245379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a folding bench for the shower. It was a lot easier to do sitting down.<br /> Or I would put my leg on the bench and bend/crouch so my belly was sort of between my legs.<br /> I can't not shave my legs, it's a weird thing that I just have to do every couple of days! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shaving-legs-in-3rd-tri-help#post-2245375 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 17:43:09 +0000 Anagram 2245375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hmm...I don't have any trouble shaving my legs (I'm 37 weeks and not flexible at all) as long as I can put my foot up on the ledge.</p> <p>My hooha is another story.

My friend suggested sitting or lying in the bath tub and putting my leg up. Haven't tried it yet, but may need to in order to avoid hairy legs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shaving-legs-in-3rd-tri-help#post-2245350 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 16:59:47 +0000 mrsrain 2245350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly, I didn't bother once it got too tricky to reach! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shaving-legs-in-3rd-tri-help#post-2245349 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 16:59:30 +0000 travellingbee 2245349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, don't bother...? I have a bench in the shower that I could put my leg on so it was easier, but I didn't shave often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shaving-legs-in-3rd-tri-help#post-2245346 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 16:56:15 +0000 justjules 2245346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is my first pregnancy and I just entered my 3rd tri (woo!).<br /> Recently its been harder and harder to shave my legs in the shower. Its uncomfortable to bend over even when I put my leg on the bath ledge. I can't imagine once my bump gets even bigger how I am going to accomplish such a feat! </p> <p>Any tips or tricks to help me out? </p>
