Grooming question

Hi folks. Please how did you remove pubic hair during pregnancy? It's getting like Amazon down there and the thought of the ouch of waxing gives me the shivers. I am on blood thinner worried about going selfie with shaving stick.

Did anyone wax and did it trigger any abdominal pain?

Sorry if it is gross question but I only do realities :)

Love this question … 🤣🤣

I usually wax every 6 weeks, including brows and brow tint, but haven’t since finding out my transfer was a success. I’m scared to go, so was going to wait to reach the second trimester when the babies are a bit stronger (🤞🏻🤞🏻). No other reason that I’m just scared to do anything at the moment. With my first pregnancy that ended in a MMC, I had a wax at 8 weeks and generally wasn’t as careful as I am being now - I think that’s one of the reasons I’m so scared and nervous to do anything that may cause discomfort or upset me in some way!

I’m also on a lot of blood thinners so avoid shaving! I do however prune … 😂 just to keep it tidy. I mean, there’s no way I’m letting my husband anywhere near me for a little while anyway so I’ve got breathing space… but each scan at the clinic, I do feel like apologising as I’m usually well kept! 🤣🤣

Anyway, hopefully others will tell you it’s absolutely fine and not to worry! Xx

Yeah I was eyeing remover at pharmacy but the warning popped up that it's only for legs and not for bits and pieces. 🙄

Will probably resort to that in a few months.

I used the sensitive one and if you visualise your lady garden as a hot dog… do the bun don’t get it on the sausage 😂

Sorry ladies, love this question too.. but i wouldn't get any of that horrible chemical stuff anywhere near my vagina, especially while pregnant! Either go natural and enjoy the amazonic lusciousness or use razor with mirror?

I also used Veet, but waited until the second trimester so I knew all was well with the baby!

I had waxing all the way through my pregnancy from the get go, I was then due my waxing a day after I actually gave birth cause my little girl came early so when I actually gave birth god knows what the state of it was- but I didn’t care ha ha x

I’d be reluctant to introduce chemicals down there. I waxed all through my first pregnancy, it didn’t hurt one bit.

I shaved a bit. Not perfect as one can't see with the bump getting in the way but doesnt need to be all clear. Just a tidy up with a few delicate strokes of razor will do to make one look and feel more comfortable

This made me laugh so much 🤣🤣🤣 I’ve stopped everything down there once I found out 🤣🤣🤣 then when I had scan day the other I panicked….. shaved a bit ….. but was glad it was two female nurses in end and they didn’t bat an eyelid 🤣 I had recently done ‘a good job’ down there so mine wasn’t too bad 🤣🤣🤣…. I mostly use cream

Anyway but am scared of the chemicals at the minute . Just trim

And shave carefully if you can if it’s stressing you out! I asked my husband to trim it and he refuses and said these people

See thousands of last bits every day who cares 🤣💐🤪

I tried shaving, last time around week 15 ish. It hurt!! So I've given up. I was trimming it back using nail scissors to try and keep on top of it but now I can't see it so I'm going natural. The midwives won't care, my husband is stuck with me either way so I'm just rolling with it!

I would say get your husband to give it a trim. Lol!!! I would stay away from chemicals and boy oh boy when I get waxed it’s never relaxing. So for me I would be scared— lol! If anything let it grow: I heard it’s good during pregnancy to get infections out and away from there abs baby. 🤣🤣🤣

Good point Hun. No husband here. Only one nearby is 10 year old. She will pass out if I even imagined it. I will just keep washing everytime I wee. I don't like wee on hair

I wouldn't worry about that! Nobody cares as long as you have a shower 😃 I'm the other way round, if I shave and go to scans I feel naked and somehow it's more intimate. My hair covers my modesty I guess 😂 old fashion me

Me it's for hygiene as I wee a lot and don't think the wipes can wipe it all off.

I remember when I did my transfer, the date was communicated wrong so by the time we realised I had to.catch flight in 6 hours. No grooming. By the time they finished transfer, I was hung their everything facing the universe and any one who was in theatre. I was glad I had enough bush to hide me:)

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 oh no. But I agree keeping there clean help to keep the wee wee smell at bay.

I used Veet as I was also on blood thinners but usually just tidied everything up with small scissors. I was told not to do anything before my cesarian because of risk of infection but I still tidied it up a bit. When I got to theatre the nurse got out an electric razor and I remember being beyond mortified (my OH still thinks it’s hilarious because I always say that was the worst part of the whole day🙈😂) x
