Have you waxed/ shaved /trimmed or not?

[vixy]

Hi ladies,

Just curious, have you ladies kept up with your hair care regime down below or not?

I have really not managed much since 34ish weeks and I really hate it but I also have very sensitive skin so don't want to risk causing any irritation near to the birth. I have bought some hair removal cream but would be going in blind.

34 weeks?! Well done! I couldn't manage to do anything much past about 24/25 weeks.....god knows what it was like down there in the end lol

I used the hair removal cream about 5 days before my due date, I didnt even try to do a good job, just put it on everywhere, I dont usually like being totally hair free down there but it was easier than trying to do a good job, I delivered at 41 weeks and at that stage it had grown a tiny bit so I just trimmed the bikini line...

I still shave. Way more razor bumps than normal though But I was used to doing it without seeing before I was pg.

 

[lilliesmummie]

Shaved it all off! Hoping I will have LO before it grows back fully. Bita stubble is fine .. Took me 55 minutes to shave it, a thousand positions and a mirror.. Impossible to do it again lol!!

I can't stand it if I'm not at least well trimmed down there. . . But its getting more difficult(34+4 now). If I'm going in or an appointment or something, DF is usually willing to help out, even if its not his favorite thing lol such a good man. Even does a good job

 

[babyface15]

just attempted a trim. it didn't go so well. I think I'll have to take dh up on his offer to help me because it's only half done now

 

[Powell130]

I shave by feel lol

 

[Equreuil]

I think I gave up after the 3 month mark. It's too much effort and my husband doesn't care if it's a forest down there.

 

[TwoRdue]

I still shave every couple of days, not the greatest but can't expect much when your going in blind

 

[bmuir11207]

i used a trimmer with a guard on it and did a very very choppy job lol i laugh when i see my "job" in the mirror i have just given up for now

 

[TRINITY25_99]

Just tidy'd up today, but it was difficult. I don't shave everything off down below, bikini, and trim is about it. Can't see a damn thing...lol...done by feel.

 

[Sparkles237]

I still wax my bikini line and shave the rest every few days. I must be lucky as I can still see down there with no problem

 

[ShirlWirl]

I will be booking in to wax legs, bikini and arm pits about a week before my due date - it will be a big job lol! I had everything waxed with my last one and felt so much more comfortable - especially after the birth

 

[tristansmum]

I tried blind shaving every few days. The hardest bit for me is along my c section scar. It has a little raised bit which I need to avoid as it bleeds if caught. It's not the best job but I would hate the have a forest. Figure aslong as its short/patchy its better than huge growth lol. I wish I could get a wax but I'm too much of a whimp!

 

[ShirlWirl]

I got waxed for the first time after my first son - I thought 'it can't be as bad as that!' ....and it wasn't - no where near lol! I get a landing strip down below and doesn't really hurt. The worst part for me is my shins

 

[disneydarling]

I've kept up my waxing throughout pregnancy, even though it has kind of felt like a chore.

I've got my final wax appointment on Tuesday, I'll be 39 weeks and my hair grows quite slowly so I should still have nothing there even if I was to go 2 weeks overdue. Being hairy makes me feel dirty and gross I'd hate to have any hair down there during birth and recovery!

My legs I just shave (with the help of my husband, because I can't bend down to reach below my knees). Because my hair is growing super slow during pregnancy my legs stay totally smooth for over 2 weeks, it's great! Haha!

 

[xforuiholdonx]

I shave blind, which is awful because ive cut myself a few times but ita better then feeling nasty as the time

 

[smokey]

Am I the only one that isnt bothered? Iv never really done much with it as it is as im not much of a wild grower so never really had a problem with it.
I do shave the lot off once in a blue moon for a bit of a change but thats it.
Last time I had someones grandad walk in on me during labour and had workmen walking around hammering and drilling so midwives seeing a bit of hair wasnt really a concern of mine

 

[laurajade__x]

I did mine the other day and it took me 45 minutes!! About 60 positions and when I got out the shower then looked in the mirror I realised I'd missed patches! I bet it looks a state haha but I'm sure midwives have seen worse so I'm just going to leave it now hopefully it won't grow too much
