I'm definitely not for shaving and definitely not for a stranger shaving me! But that's just me... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ladyscaping-for-a-c-section#post-380551 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 23:18:00 +0000 LivsMama 380551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: I was totally waxed before mine. My OB went to shave and goes "oh, I don't even need to do anything here. Great!" I laughed. I know they don't care, but I did. I "maintained" all the way through </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ladyscaping-for-a-c-section#post-380021 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 18:57:26 +0000 travelgirl1 380021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks so much ladies!!!</p> <p>@Foodnerd81: Ahhhh, good idea! I'll get on that tonight, but maybe I'll use scissors, bit scared of anything electric when I can't see!!!</p> <p>@yoursilverlining: No, the lady who waxed me before always told me not to put anything on it so maybe that's where I'm going wrong!</p> <p>@BabyBruins: Yeah I wish I could make the nurse's day like that! I think she'll have to shave it though : ( </p> <p>@Mrsbells: Weird set of clippers???? They were okay though, right? It wasn't like a Sweeny Todd razer blade or anything? Ha ha. </p> <p>@lolabee: I haven't, but good idea, I'll try that next time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ladyscaping-for-a-c-section#post-379151 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 12:51:01 +0000 lolabee 379151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you tried sugaring? I also get really bad red bumps/ingrowns from waxing. I've had much better luck with sugaring, seems to be less harsh and I barely have any bumps, minus a few right around underwear line. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ladyscaping-for-a-c-section#post-379150 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 12:50:50 +0000 Mrs. Train 379150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The nurses shaved me. Especially with my twins I was so huge there was no way I could do anything in that area. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ladyscaping-for-a-c-section#post-379137 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 12:46:20 +0000 Mrsbells 379137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also was induced and ended up with a c-section, the nurse shaved me with a really weird set of clippers. They dont really care if your shaved down there or not, so I wouldnt worry about it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ladyscaping-for-a-c-section#post-379126 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 12:39:41 +0000 JerricaBenton 379126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Use a makeup mirror that tilts if you want to shave. It works just fine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ladyscaping-for-a-c-section#post-379116 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 12:36:12 +0000 GrapeCrush 379116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i ended up getting shaved by the nurse. i didnt really care at the end how i was looking lol i figure theyve seen it all haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ladyscaping-for-a-c-section#post-378903 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 11:23:16 +0000 BabyBruins 378903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I happened to get waxed 1 week before I had an unexpected c-section. Just before we went into the operating room, the nurse came in and said, "I need to shave you." and I told her I had just gotten waxed and she said, "Awesome!"<br /> I got the impression that they are willing and able to do it, but happy if they don't have to. I was happier during my recovery that it was all gone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ladyscaping-for-a-c-section#post-378847 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 11:11:03 +0000 rachiecakes 378847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally waxed before being induced. Definitely helped with stitches, I could see everything clearly and it healed beautifully. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ladyscaping-for-a-c-section#post-378819 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 11:00:15 +0000 erwoo 378819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They will shave you at the incision area regardless or not if you do it. And they don't care how it looks. :P And I can barely remember what it looks like afterwards anyway. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ladyscaping-for-a-c-section#post-378816 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 10:57:50 +0000 LemonLong 378816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ended up being induced without any advance notice 2 weeks before my due date, so there was NO landscaping done. I hadn't been keeping up with it since I couldn't see anything down there. The nurses and doctors didn't seem to care, and honestly, with everything going on, I ended up not caring either! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ladyscaping-for-a-c-section#post-378752 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 10:29:30 +0000 prettylizy 378752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Truth time, couldn't reach that area because my bump was all over the place huge. I embraced it and went au-natural... not my proudest moment, but I forgot all about it after she was in my arms! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ladyscaping-for-a-c-section#post-378744 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 10:27:31 +0000 autumnlove 378744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did but I always ladyscape! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ladyscaping-for-a-c-section#post-378709 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 10:09:27 +0000 MrsHotDog 378709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree, just use a trimmer. They shave a lot more than you realize. I'm sure they will shave you no matter what and this way you don't have to worry about getting an infection. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ladyscaping-for-a-c-section#post-378708 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 10:08:33 +0000 yoursilverlining 378708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When you've waxed in the past - have you used a good lotion on the area after, and go comando for a day or so? (sorry if TMI, but these things help reduce red bumps after waxing!)</p> <p>I got waxed prior to my c-section. I wanted the whole area all clear for the procedure and the recovery. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ladyscaping-for-a-c-section#post-378696 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 10:05:25 +0000 Foodnerd81 378696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Could you use a trimmer to just cut it down a little, then there is less for them to shave? I can't imagine taking a razor to someplace I can't see. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ladyscaping-for-a-c-section#post-378672 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 09:57:40 +0000 travelgirl1 378672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you do any ladyscaping for a c section?</p> <p>I decided not to wax and I tend to get a lot of red bumps after and didn't want to get an infection...</p> <p>But I think I read they shave you a bit so they can make the incision below the hairline... So should I shave? Agggh that's going to be so difficult!!</p> <p>I know people say no one cares in the hospital but I really do so would like to go in a little trimmed - especially if I can avoid a nurse having to shave me!!!</p> <p>You can tell it's the big things on my mind the day before my section - stretch marks and shaving!!! : ) </p>
