The things doctors see!!<br /> Definitely shower before each appt, and trim hair too. Clearly a bit of hair isn't going to freak them out, if they've to see people who are actually dirty! Yuck yuck yuck!<br /> Minor thread jacking here- anyone's hair seem to be growing way faster down there while pregnant? My leg hair has slowed to a crawl, so it's a little confusing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-clean-up-down-there-before-obgyn-appointments#post-122459 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 16:01:11 +0000 mrskc 122459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah she went to the doc like that! She said the doc made a comment like, "well this is special" LMAO! She didn't realize it was glitter until after her appointment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-clean-up-down-there-before-obgyn-appointments#post-122369 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 14:14:10 +0000 autumnlove 122369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I give myself an extra wipe while waiting for the doctor!

Just a wet nap if I cannot shower beforehand. </p> <p>LMAO about the glitter!!!! Did she go to the doc like that? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-clean-up-down-there-before-obgyn-appointments#post-122350 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 13:43:18 +0000 mrskc 122350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't do any extra cleaning. Just shower in the morning and regular wiping when I use the restroom. Do you ladies use a wet nap or something to clean yourself before the appointment? </p> <p>My coworker told me a story of a girl she knew who thought she had sprayed one of those vaginal perfumes before her GYN appointment. It turned out to be her daughters glitter hair spray. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-clean-up-down-there-before-obgyn-appointments#post-122322 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 13:12:17 +0000 sorrycharlie 122322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Clementine: ohh LOL ..kind of sad that she has to tell people to just wash up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-clean-up-down-there-before-obgyn-appointments#post-122318 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 13:08:52 +0000 Andrea 122318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Clementine: hehe. ok, that is what i remembered! it was hilarious!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-clean-up-down-there-before-obgyn-appointments#post-122305 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 12:51:19 +0000 Clementine 122305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>no no....the Oprah episode was talking NOT TO DOUCHE but then then Filipina doctor was like I'm an OB, plz wash down there it smells! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-clean-up-down-there-before-obgyn-appointments#post-122297 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 12:46:55 +0000 Andrea 122297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: yeah, i have read in magazines not to douche! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-clean-up-down-there-before-obgyn-appointments#post-122292 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 12:38:11 +0000 sorrycharlie 122292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: @Clementine: my OB says not to douche! how weird that different drs recommend such different things! confusingg </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-clean-up-down-there-before-obgyn-appointments#post-122291 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 12:38:10 +0000 Arden 122291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Clementine: Wait, I thought we were specifically told NOT to douche by many doctors, especially before PAP smear... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-clean-up-down-there-before-obgyn-appointments#post-122287 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 12:36:17 +0000 Andrea 122287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Clementine: omg. well, i have never gone so far as douching....did she tell women to douche as well??? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-clean-up-down-there-before-obgyn-appointments#post-122255 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 11:40:21 +0000 sorrycharlie 122255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>EW - who the heck doesn't wipe? so grossed out.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-clean-up-down-there-before-obgyn-appointments#post-122246 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 11:32:58 +0000 Arden 122246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so confused here - there are people who walk around NOT clean?

I don't mean hair just basic stuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-clean-up-down-there-before-obgyn-appointments#post-121973 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 00:14:29 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 121973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always shower and shave. I shave every time I shower anyways, but I make sure I am extra trimmed up down there. My first OB appointment (when I was 17) I sprayed perfume down there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-clean-up-down-there-before-obgyn-appointments#post-121961 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 22:50:31 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 121961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely do! I like to go to the bathroom when I get there to make sure it's extra clean. I also shave too, and shave my legs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-clean-up-down-there-before-obgyn-appointments#post-121956 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 22:27:36 +0000 Mrs. Pink 121956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so weird about it-- I won't even go to the OB if it's late in the day... always within an hour or 2 after showering... I'm paranoid about that kind of thing... </p> <p>Also, I make sure to shave my legs before hand... and bring an extra pair of socks if I happen to be wearing flip flops, so my feet aren't all "by the doctors face"... kind of weird I know! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-clean-up-down-there-before-obgyn-appointments#post-121920 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 21:35:47 +0000 Mrs. Bee 121920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hahaha yes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-clean-up-down-there-before-obgyn-appointments#post-121918 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 21:35:03 +0000 sulli301 121918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always do!!
