I do it weekly/ every other week. As I am getting closer to my due date I am going to try to do weekly. I have been pretty good at it. I thought dh would have to help, but so far so good. I feel so much cleaner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preggo-ladyscaping-what-do-you-do#post-293780 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 16:58:59 +0000 WALLAROO 293780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have always sugared and am continuing to do so up until now. I have noticed it is a little more sensitive than usual but I intend to keep going as long as I can. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preggo-ladyscaping-what-do-you-do#post-293738 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 16:23:10 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 293738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also shaved blind. A bit scary, but no injuries! My SIL had to stop getting waxed in the third trimester, too painful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preggo-ladyscaping-what-do-you-do#post-293675 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 15:27:11 +0000 Rescuemom10 293675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rock n Roll: I just about died laughing reading that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preggo-ladyscaping-what-do-you-do#post-293653 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 15:12:12 +0000 travelgirl1 293653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: I hear you lady! My husband tried to tell me yesterday that I looked pretty. All I could do was laugh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preggo-ladyscaping-what-do-you-do#post-293644 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 15:07:09 +0000 DillonLion 293644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: Ha yeah keeping things fully landscaped helps me feel a little better about the swollen ankles/cellulite/double chin action going on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preggo-ladyscaping-what-do-you-do#post-293640 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 15:04:29 +0000 travelgirl1 293640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, all you blind shavers are very brave!!! I kind of have been letting it go - but I feel unattractive enough with the swollen ankles, sausage fingers and heartburn. The forest has got to go! Lol.</p> <p>To all you waxers, do you ever get get red bumps/ingrown hairs? I used to do when I waxed, and this time I won't even be able to see them to treat them. Any tips there? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preggo-ladyscaping-what-do-you-do#post-293053 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 09:14:53 +0000 Mrsbells 293053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I worried about this in the beginning but in the end I just let it go </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preggo-ladyscaping-what-do-you-do#post-293031 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 09:03:56 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 293031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just did it by feel. After shaving down there for so many years, It wasn't as bad as I thought. Although, once I did have the baby, I realized I had missed some sections entirely - lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preggo-ladyscaping-what-do-you-do#post-293024 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 09:01:18 +0000 littlebug 293024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was just thinking of posting this exact same question! I'm pretty much doing it blind now, and it makes me so nervous every time! I'm seriously considering letting it go - I'm not shaving as much as I usually do, so as it starts to grow back, it's itchy as hell! I sit in my office and scratch away. So awful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preggo-ladyscaping-what-do-you-do#post-293011 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 08:54:06 +0000 cvbee 293011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: I ladyscaped blind, but it wasn't a big change for me, as I usually don't have my glasses/contacts on in the shower any day, so I had years of practice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preggo-ladyscaping-what-do-you-do#post-293001 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 08:46:42 +0000 LuLu Mom 293001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Blind shaving here, I had one painful incident in the beginning but have been fine ever since. Oh and I lately I have only do it when I know the doctor will be checking me, I have been very lazy in the lady grooming department (that includes legs!) haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preggo-ladyscaping-what-do-you-do#post-292879 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 04:21:19 +0000 sea_bass 292879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have always waxed so it hardly hurts now. What I would say is that if you have always shaved the hair down there will be very coarse and if waxed will hurt like hell.<br /> I hope you find a solution! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preggo-ladyscaping-what-do-you-do#post-292875 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 04:01:14 +0000 Cherrybee 292875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How about a hair removal cream like Immac? You could stand in front of a mirror and lather it on as best you can - it doesn't matter if it gets everywhere - then shower it off afterwards? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preggo-ladyscaping-what-do-you-do#post-292855 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 02:17:11 +0000 Kemma 292855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The one advantage of having reeally bad eyesight - I can't see what I'm doing anyway so I've been blind shaving for a while now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preggo-ladyscaping-what-do-you-do#post-292837 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 00:59:26 +0000 Rosie Girl 292837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I blindly shaved! When I was pregnant with DS I tried to wax myself because shaving was getting so hard. Well, lets just say, I made myself bleed and ended up getting my legs stuck together, with just as much hair as I started with! So, blind shaving with both babies for me! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preggo-ladyscaping-what-do-you-do#post-292834 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 00:42:59 +0000 mamabird 292834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I shaved blindly! Ahh! It was definitely a challenge and funny when I looked in the mirror and saw patches I missed, but i just dont feel clean unless I shave. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preggo-ladyscaping-what-do-you-do#post-292833 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 00:31:58 +0000 birdofafeather 292833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i get waxed regularly and i haven't really noticed any increased pain during, but a little after. nothing that's too bad though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preggo-ladyscaping-what-do-you-do#post-292798 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 22:39:32 +0000 Mrs.B 292798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was blind shaving for a long time but DH had to shave for me this last time. Blind shaving was getting really risky. I plan to shave 2-3 more times before delivery (4w2d left to go!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preggo-ladyscaping-what-do-you-do#post-292787 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 22:25:43 +0000 jedeve 292787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I go au naturel for the most part anyway. Skin is too sensitive, I think - I get all itchy and bumpy even when I just straighten up. </p> <p>I would have to say, are you gonna want to shave/deal with stubble after the birth? To me that's making a bad situation worse! Maybe better to let it grow out now? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preggo-ladyscaping-what-do-you-do#post-292667 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 20:15:45 +0000 DillonLion 292667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Blind shaving....and I'm expecting a horrifying incident any minute, but so far no issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preggo-ladyscaping-what-do-you-do#post-292666 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 20:14:39 +0000 prettylizy 292666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just gave up.... sad but true. I was sort of worried about being self concious during labour, but turns out I didn't care one bit about it when I was delivering that baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preggo-ladyscaping-what-do-you-do#post-292662 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 20:12:41 +0000 Mrs. Pen 292662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I shaved up until the day I delivered!! No way I was gonna have a bush when 10 people would be seeing my hoo-ha!</p> <p>However, I didn't shave post-partum for months because I was too scared! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preggo-ladyscaping-what-do-you-do#post-292660 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 20:12:13 +0000 GrapeCrush 292660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always had DH take care of business down there lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preggo-ladyscaping-what-do-you-do#post-292655 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 20:08:00 +0000 heffalump 292655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just let it go. I got to the point where I just didn't care, and I'm way too scared of waxing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preggo-ladyscaping-what-do-you-do#post-292593 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 19:24:19 +0000 autumnlove 292593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I shave! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preggo-ladyscaping-what-do-you-do#post-292589 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 19:21:35 +0000 Rock n Roll 292589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hahaha, I was talking about this to one of my friends, and she told me a story of how she shaved when she was pregnant with her son, and she thought she got it all, but when she looked in the mirror, she had missed a whole strip that was covered by her belly. She said it looked like her belly had a mustache! I laughed so hard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preggo-ladyscaping-what-do-you-do#post-292584 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 19:17:54 +0000 BabyBruins 292584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It might be painful if you haven't had it done in a while, but I actually thought it wasn't that bad (way less painful than the one I got today). I would try to get at least one done before the one before you give birth. In my case, my nurse was very appreciative that I had just gotten waxed because she was going to have to shave me for my c-section (unplanned). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preggo-ladyscaping-what-do-you-do#post-292554 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 19:00:31 +0000 pinkcupcake 292554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got waxed at 7 months and it wasn't that painful (not any more painful than normal)... I felt SO much better after the waxing :) </p>
