I made sure I locked the bathroom door, though, so my husband never walked in on that sight. :-P He'd be scarred for life! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grooming-while-pregnant#post-2138083 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 10:59:07 +0000 snowjewelz 2138083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just did it blindly when I could no longer see! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grooming-while-pregnant#post-2137638 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 08:17:33 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2137638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ValentineMommy: yep. They would prefer to do the shaving themselves. She said that it's unlikely that I sterilize my razor and that any minute cuts in the skin could introduce infection to the surgical site. I happily obliged. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grooming-while-pregnant#post-2137632 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 08:15:19 +0000 LBee 2137632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: Same. I was reading through this thread wondering if I'm some freak of nature... I sat on the shower floor and easily shaved. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grooming-while-pregnant#post-2137624 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 08:11:34 +0000 ValentineMommy 2137624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: Really?? I had a scheduled c-section and they had to shave me before doing the surgery. My incision is WELL below my hairline. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grooming-while-pregnant#post-2137471 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 06:07:22 +0000 QBbride 2137471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got waxed every 5 weeks during my first pregnancy. This time I have just been trimming so far but need to get back on the waxing train!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grooming-while-pregnant#post-2137436 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 02:51:59 +0000 turquoisemama 2137436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once I had DH do it haha! But other than that, I couldn't see nor did I care so I just let it go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grooming-while-pregnant#post-2137435 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 02:51:12 +0000 Astro Bee 2137435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got laser hair removal a couple of years ago, and it was 90% effective, but with the pregnancy hormones some more came back. It was really slow and sparse, so I would just wax myself from time to time or if I was really lazy just shave. Honestly, I was pretty inconsistent, especially once I couldn't see anything down there! Lol! At around 38-39 weeks, I waxed everything using a mirror. I guess I'm flexible, but it was a lot of muscle memory. A couple of days before I went into labour, I just cleaned everything up with a razor. My thinking was that it would be cleaner for post partum recovery. So far it has been. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grooming-while-pregnant#post-2137426 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 00:30:49 +0000 mrskc 2137426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used an electric trimmer and a mirror to stay trimmed. I just can't stand the feeling of a full on bush. lol And for me personally I feel better/cleaner afterwards with all the blood and stuff if I'm trimmed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grooming-while-pregnant#post-2137391 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 22:35:17 +0000 birdofafeather 2137391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get waxed throughout. I can't imagine letting it go totally wild for that long! It grosses me out. Ha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grooming-while-pregnant#post-2137376 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 22:02:25 +0000 Torchwood 2137376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coffee-lover: Totally with you on the obsessive shaving, except I don't do crotch. But I can NOT sleep if my armpits aren't shaved, and I can only skip on legs if I wear leggings so I can't feel it. I'll shave my armpits multiple times a day sometimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grooming-while-pregnant#post-2137365 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 21:41:41 +0000 Kemma 2137365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsF: I just had a giggle at your comment because I'm fairly sure that anybody who assisted in my labour or delivery saw more of my butt than my face! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grooming-while-pregnant#post-2137360 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 21:38:54 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2137360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I shaved it all until the day I delivered. Maybe I'm flexible? ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grooming-while-pregnant#post-2137346 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 21:17:40 +0000 JessKas 2137346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gave up around 27-30 weeks. I get terrible ingrowns with waxing no matter what I do and DH would not help me out. I didn't care much since I couldn't see it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grooming-while-pregnant#post-2137285 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 20:34:35 +0000 Honeygold89 2137285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I shaved myself up until around 25 or 26 weeks and then after that I had dh to shave me every other week and then I had him shave me a few days before my DD </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grooming-while-pregnant#post-2137234 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 19:37:43 +0000 MrsF 2137234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I eventually quit trying. </p> <p>I'm a nurse and I just can't imagine that anyone involved in my delivery cared what things looked like down there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grooming-while-pregnant#post-2137230 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 19:35:39 +0000 whenoceansrise 2137230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only did before doctors appointments (cervical checks) &amp; did it by sitting on the shower floor and feeling my way around. Haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grooming-while-pregnant#post-2137229 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 19:34:43 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 2137229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm having the same problem. DH is no help b/c he prefers me to have more hair, not less. :-( blech! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grooming-while-pregnant#post-2137227 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 19:31:41 +0000 kiddosc 2137227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used an electric trimmer so that at least what was there was short. I feel uncomfortable if it's long. There was no risk of cutting myself so I could do it blind once that region was no longer visible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grooming-while-pregnant#post-2137226 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 19:31:36 +0000 lawbee11 2137226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got waxed throughout my pregnancy the last time being around 36w (I gave birth at 38w). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grooming-while-pregnant#post-2137225 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 19:27:56 +0000 Mamasig 2137225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't worry about it. But I had several sessions of laser hair removal years ago, so it's not too bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grooming-while-pregnant#post-2137216 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 19:14:15 +0000 namaste 2137216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I shaved up until the day before I gave birth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grooming-while-pregnant#post-2137195 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 19:03:02 +0000 blackbird 2137195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is one of those things I prefer to pay a professional to do LOL. Do you have a European Wax Center near you? First one is free and their wax is amazing. They're pretty inexpensive too </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grooming-while-pregnant#post-2137192 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 19:02:06 +0000 Rockies11 2137192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use nair, and it is by far the best thing I have found because you can slather it on in front of the mirror and wash it off blindly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grooming-while-pregnant#post-2137184 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 18:53:42 +0000 avivoca 2137184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I trimmed things with an electric razor but close to the end I let it all go. It was impossible to contort my body in order to see myself in the mirror. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grooming-while-pregnant#post-2137178 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 18:49:06 +0000 Coffee-lover 2137178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Im 32 weeks, and this is my first pregnancy but so far I have been blindly shaving everyday. My husband offered to help me, but so far I have been fine on my own. I think I have a little problem, I am so neurotic about having any stubble on my legs, pits, and crotch that I can not sleep at night I did not shave that day. I plan to continue to blindly shave until I give birth and can eventually see again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grooming-while-pregnant#post-2137171 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 18:40:36 +0000 youboots 2137171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I shaved until I cut myself badly. I got a wax at 35 weeks and the day before I was induced. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grooming-while-pregnant#post-2137131 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 17:57:47 +0000 Anya 2137131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: just by feel and a lot of patience. I'm sure it wasn't the best job I've ever done but I was glad not to mess with an ungroomed area PP </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grooming-while-pregnant#post-2137130 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 17:57:38 +0000 Torchwood 2137130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just trim things with an electric trimmer, and I continued that last time up until the end at 33 weeks. I was doing it blindly though. I'll try to do the same this time, because it drives me bonkers if I don't. I'm not sure I'm up for having DH help. </p>
