I cleaned up with an electric trimmer the day before my unsceduled induction because we were going to the pool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/personal-grooming-instructions-prior-to-delivery#post-2200270 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 12:36:24 +0000 catomd00 2200270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wasn't mentioned but I didn't read anything they ever gave me. Those are definitely not instructions I'd be listening to lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/personal-grooming-instructions-prior-to-delivery#post-2200265 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 12:31:24 +0000 Greentea 2200265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have heard of this, "grooming" causes knicks, cuts, increases chance of infection. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/personal-grooming-instructions-prior-to-delivery#post-2200251 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 12:09:48 +0000 matador84 2200251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I didn't have any type of instructions except show up if you think you're in labor! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/personal-grooming-instructions-prior-to-delivery#post-2200250 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 12:09:12 +0000 Mamasig 2200250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had instructions but I was getting a c section. Makes sense though. They just want to be sure to minimize the risk of infection. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/personal-grooming-instructions-prior-to-delivery#post-2200234 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 11:49:41 +0000 lemondrop 2200234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Instructions? I didn't think any of this baby stuff came with instructions :silly:</p> <p>And nope, nothing was ever mentioned to me either time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/personal-grooming-instructions-prior-to-delivery#post-2200218 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 11:16:36 +0000 blackbird 2200218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ummmm no. I got a wax at 39 weeks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/personal-grooming-instructions-prior-to-delivery#post-2200209 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 11:09:07 +0000 youboots 2200209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I got a Brazilian the day before my unscheduled induction. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/personal-grooming-instructions-prior-to-delivery#post-2200204 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 11:08:01 +0000 snowjewelz 2200204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally shaved during my last shower the day of my indution! I think maybe they just don't want you to cut yourself, possible get in infection that way, etc? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/personal-grooming-instructions-prior-to-delivery#post-2200201 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 11:05:09 +0000 Anya 2200201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't get any instructions. I groomed myself while in labor lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/personal-grooming-instructions-prior-to-delivery#post-2200191 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 10:57:58 +0000 Foodnerd81 2200191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never noticed anything, and I think I read everything pretty carefully as an obsessive first time mom. I think I got a wax about a month before because we were going to the beach and I couldn't see anything to tidy it myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/personal-grooming-instructions-prior-to-delivery#post-2200179 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 10:49:29 +0000 Smurfette 2200179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope</p> <p>I got a wax at 37 weeks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/personal-grooming-instructions-prior-to-delivery#post-2200174 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 10:43:47 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2200174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Corduroy: those were my instructions for #2. Nothing was mentioned when I had #1. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/personal-grooming-instructions-prior-to-delivery#post-2200169 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 10:39:30 +0000 Anagram 2200169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! Super odd. I actually shaved and "groomed" while I was in early labor because I was too wound up to sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/personal-grooming-instructions-prior-to-delivery#post-2200168 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 10:39:12 +0000 lamariniere 2200168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have any instructions for either LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/personal-grooming-instructions-prior-to-delivery#post-2200166 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 10:34:36 +0000 kiddosc 2200166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't remember any instructions like that, odd. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/personal-grooming-instructions-prior-to-delivery#post-2200165 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 10:34:32 +0000 danda 2200165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never heard of this...my guess is they don't want you to increase risk of group B strep being present after they test for it, since they test that at 36 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/personal-grooming-instructions-prior-to-delivery#post-2200163 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 10:32:33 +0000 Corduroy 2200163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At my 36w appointment I got my labor and delivery packet with all the standard hospital instructions. The one thing that stood out to me was the note that said no shaving or waxing down there after 36 weeks. I have no strong grooming feelings but I don't remember hearing this with LO1. </p> <p>Just out of curiousity as I'm sitting around waiting for baby, were you given instructions regarding personal grooming? </p>
