Hairy Mary..

[AnnabelsMummy]

The title is a bit of a clue, but what's everyone planning to do with their "downstairs" (for lack of better words, and trying not to be explicit )?

it's just i think, ohh i'm sure the midwives see allsorts they don't care.. but then again i think, maybe most people do something, or not..

i think there was a thread about it ages ago, but i couldn't find it.. Lool..
i looked up a full bikini wax the other day it was £45!!

About a week or so ago I just went for it blindly and used the mirror for a bit of help lol! It didnt turn out too bad to be honest, but I figure Im not going to do it again as now its just nicely trim To be honest, Ive kind of given up caring lol!

As long as I don't look like I have a tree growing down there then Im happy x

 

[stephx]

I really dont know! I mean, its usually all off lol but its getting pretty hard to do that now and I end up leaving it for a while and it looks a mess haha TMI

I might just pop in the shower at the beginning of labour and shave it all off

I cant be dealing with waxing, knowing my luck I will go overdue and it will have grown bk anyways

xx

 

[AnnabelsMummy]

see i was thinking of going for it blindly - but it'd probably just end up with bald patches.. and i'm scared of cutting myself..

ohh gawdd, steph, i think in labour it'll be the last thing on my mind, but afterwards i'll be like

i think it's okay at the moment, i did it not too long ago, i just can't actually see down there..
was curious what everyone else is doing, just going for the "i don't care" or if everyone actually was planning to maintain it..

I didn't touch mine and TBH you'll probably be in too much discomfort to care who looks where! If you need stitches they MW's cut your hair away a bit if they need to get to that area... they probably do that multiple times a day Xx

 

[missynz]

ugh i dunno,but im nearly 14 weeks and really should do something about it again lmao its been too much effort for the 1st tri but now im in 2nd i feel okay so i should do it while i can

 

[KiansMummy]

I was wondering the same thing what others are doing, its hard enough to do now with a mirror, so when im even bigger it will be even harder i think.. ill see lolx x

 

[kirste1]

ill be in labour soon, and i was wondering what on earth do i do!? leave it or shave.. ive decided to leave it, as midwives see allsorts anyway!

 

[AnnabelsMummy]

yeah i thought i'll probably leave it - and ohhh Natasha2605 - you've got me thinking - and maybe they get special hair dressers for that area

but yeah - i'm hoping to have a water birth, so hopefully it won't be so obvious?

I used to do mine once a week and get a mirror Tbh I can't remember nor did I care what mine looked like in labour but I'm pretty sure as I was in the end induced that I did see to it a couple of days before my induction The midwifes see alsorts they probably don't care at all, I know if I was a midwife I wouldn't be comparing peoples bits lol

 

[AnnabelsMummy]

i spose they get a bit preoccupied with the rest of it, to care - plus they see all sorts, might bring it up as my "labour conversation starter"
or maybe i should grow it into a heartshape and dye it pink?! they might talk then
xxxxx

 

[pinkribbon]

I shaved it yesterday with the aid of a mirror but it's still uneven
Think I'll just be leaving it now it's too much effort. As long as I don't look like a cavewoman down there I might just put up with it.

 

[Embo]

Ive just trimmed it, with an electric shaver was IMPOSSIBLE!! but i really dont care now, i just want baby out! xx

 

[AnnabelsMummy]

ohhh emilyyy, you're over nowwww!! least you'll deffinatly have your bubba in less than two weeks thoughh!!!!
i'm so fed up, and i've got two weeks till my due date - you must be going crazyy!!
xxxx

 

[Youngling]

Ages ago i used to think to myself once i get big and cant see it i really need to keep on top of it and make sure its nice and tidy but now its come to it i really cant be asked!!
Its a mess down there, I think i am gonna do it once in the next few days and then just leave it, atleast it wont be as bad as it is now
xx

 

[AnnabelsMummy]

afterwards, i'm gunna have to get a lawnmower - or hedge trimmers at least probably i haven't seen down there in a while!!

i didnt do mine actually by request of the consultant as i was having a planned c-section he said its better for the healing process as stubbly shavers rash can irritate the wound and make healing time longer, so i would say not to do it incase you end up having an emergancy c-section as no one knows exactly what will happen during labour and birth and thought of itchy horrible shavers rash whilst having a huge gash across my stomach doesnt sound nice!
my external scar was completely healed within 14 days so i was quite lucky. xx

 

[AnnabelsMummy]

ohh thanks loolabear - hairy it is xx

 

[samface182]

i kinda managed to shave the other day. using an electic lady shaver and a mirror lol. kinda managed it, but still managed to cut myself a few times

it's looking kinda acceptable the now. better than the bush i had last week

xx

 

[~RedLily~]

i was actually lucky and never had a problem shaving so when i went into labour i had a shower and did it then so was all neat when i got to hospital lol.
