QUESTION ABOUT BODY CHANGES?!?!

Hello Ladies
I was just wondering, since I have been pregnant I have noticed instead of my hair growing fast my hair on my legs have been not growing so much. Like has anyone has had that? Im 24 weeks now and its just weird when all you hear is that you hair or you nails will grow faster or silker etc. when your pregnant! I am actually happy since I feel like I dont have to shave as much and I dont feel so much prikles on my legs in a week then what I would get. Just thought if anyone knows something usual or unusual about it let me know :)

" Hair is linked to the endocrine system, yours might not be working overtime and at a normal pace (lucky!).
My leg hair is growing like a weed...as is all other hair and nails. Ugh! "

" The hair on my legs stopped growing at a certain point when I was pregnant with my daughter. It was kind of convenient since it was so hard to bend over to shave:) "

" My first pregancy my hair turned so thick and shiny it was soooo nice even looking back at pictures I miss it. I was so looking forward tomy hair being like that again this pregnancy but guess what I could shave my whole head this time. It was so greasy all the time no matter how often I washed it and what type of shampoo I used. It was unmanageable. I hated it! "

" I wish I had that problem :) I've noticed an increase in hair on my stomach, and less hair falling out in the shower. I guess it goes away once you deliver, but wow! "

" My leg hair has really slowed down. I used to have a "5:00 shadow" by the EOD. Now I can go 4 days w/o shaving. My hair seems like its growing normal, and had not be effected at all. However, I don't seem to lose as much as I would have normally. Usually u lose about 100 hairs a day. My sink used to be full after combing, now, nothing. Not sure if that means no new growth, but not complaining. I also notice my toes nails seem to be a little more brittle. Nothing major tho. "
