I keep my lady parts tidy and trim but not full on waxes or shaved off like pre-kid days, ain't nobody got time for that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shaving-before-kids-vs-after#post-2266629 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 06:23:35 +0000 littleredhairedgrl 2266629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hahah yes i'm lucky if i have time to shower every day.. and now that i'm into my third tri i can't see anything down there. think it's definitely time for a wax! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shaving-before-kids-vs-after#post-2266602 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 00:20:08 +0000 Kimberlybee 2266602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSRS: @youboots: @Smurfette: Cool, I need to get this done soon. I am so tired of shaving down there (sorry tmi) and will need to shave before my c-section anyway so I will go for a Brazilian wax this pregnancy. </p> <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: Sugar wax sounds great, I will look into it. Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shaving-before-kids-vs-after#post-2266415 Tue, 18 Aug 2015 18:42:27 +0000 ScarletBegonia 2266415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About the same as before which is almost never. I was blessed with very fine blonde leg hair so as long as my legs aren't scaly-dry the hair doesn't show up much. I will still shave every now and again for a wedding or going to the beach or something. </p> <p>As for my lady parts........I've really fallen down on the job there, but I'm having a hard time caring about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shaving-before-kids-vs-after#post-2266360 Tue, 18 Aug 2015 17:16:48 +0000 BandDmommy 2266360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't stand being hairy. So no changes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shaving-before-kids-vs-after#post-2266359 Tue, 18 Aug 2015 17:13:37 +0000 Smurfette 2266359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kimberlybee: yep! I got it done the last time at 37/38 weeks. No difference.</p> <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: sugar wax? Never heard of that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shaving-before-kids-vs-after#post-2266326 Tue, 18 Aug 2015 16:03:55 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2266326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's about the same I think! Legs get shaved once a week....thank goodness for super blonde, slow-growing leg hair. Underarms are a few times a week. Lady parts...well, I'm 35 weeks pregnant so that hasn't been looked after in awhile. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shaving-before-kids-vs-after#post-2266324 Tue, 18 Aug 2015 15:58:37 +0000 Bao 2266324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every other day I shave, I feel gross if I don't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shaving-before-kids-vs-after#post-2266288 Tue, 18 Aug 2015 15:28:17 +0000 lamariniere 2266288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm half Asian and I barely have to shave my legs as it is and I definitely do it less often these days. Luckily, it's not really noticeable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shaving-before-kids-vs-after#post-2266254 Tue, 18 Aug 2015 15:04:49 +0000 LuLu Mom 2266254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>every day for me, I can't stand hair/prickle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shaving-before-kids-vs-after#post-2266215 Tue, 18 Aug 2015 14:39:04 +0000 Modern Daisy 2266215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The biggest change is that I can no longer remember when I last shaved. So instead of every 2-3 days I will do every day.. Or once a week, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shaving-before-kids-vs-after#post-2266184 Tue, 18 Aug 2015 14:13:28 +0000 avivoca 2266184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's about the same, but I'm more conscious about my lady parts since pregnancy. I usually shave my legs/underarms 3-4 times a week, and everything else is kept tidy with the electric razor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shaving-before-kids-vs-after#post-2266182 Tue, 18 Aug 2015 14:12:03 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2266182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kimberlybee: I did! At 25 weeks pregnant! I got a sugar wax rather than a traditional one...it's much easier on your skin! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shaving-before-kids-vs-after#post-2266181 Tue, 18 Aug 2015 14:11:19 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2266181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's the same--for legs, lady parts, arm pits. I can't stand being hairy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shaving-before-kids-vs-after#post-2266167 Tue, 18 Aug 2015 13:46:02 +0000 lovehoneybee 2266167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm lazy and use an electric razor to keep things pretty neatly trimmed. And I shave about twice a week....getting into bed at night after a hot shower and freshly shaved, smooth legs is such a wonderful feeling (and I hate the prickles). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shaving-before-kids-vs-after#post-2266141 Tue, 18 Aug 2015 13:11:30 +0000 BSB 2266141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HabesBabe: Haha. I'm hoping to show my daughter to use nair. I used to shave back in high school and now have permanent razor bumps on my legs. Hoping my daughter can use a cream instead of a razor.<br /> Oh, I'm pregnant so there is no way I'm shaving my bikini area now. Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shaving-before-kids-vs-after#post-2266128 Tue, 18 Aug 2015 13:00:06 +0000 HabesBabe 2266128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ms.line: @bluestriped bee: I love the fact that I never have to shave... my bikini area is small (small area, I mean? square inchage? haha) so it's not too crazy down there, and my arms/legs/armpits are a step below peach fuzz. My only "worry" is that I won't know how to teach Char to shave (if she wants to) when she gets older! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shaving-before-kids-vs-after#post-2266003 Tue, 18 Aug 2015 11:40:27 +0000 BSB 2266003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Uhh, pre-pregnancy, I hardly shaved. I'm Asian and have super fine hair. I can't shave with a razor because it makes hair come in thicker. If I need to remove hair, I use nair or a cream.<br /> With that said, I can't remember the last time I had to use nair... Like last year maybe?<br /> I did ask the DH last night if he ever noticed my legs being hairy and he actually said that was one of the perks of marrying an Asian was the not having to worry about me being hairy. (He was being funny, of course.) Of all my siblings, I don't think we've ever had to worry about shaving. Even my brother, he can't grow a beard and his legs and arms do have hair after a few decades of growing but it's not thick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shaving-before-kids-vs-after#post-2265998 Tue, 18 Aug 2015 11:37:41 +0000 LilSprinkles 2265998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's about the same. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shaving-before-kids-vs-after#post-2265990 Tue, 18 Aug 2015 11:31:03 +0000 snowjewelz 2265990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>More or less the same... If I get to take a shower then I usually will have a few mins to at least shave, haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shaving-before-kids-vs-after#post-2265518 Mon, 17 Aug 2015 19:57:18 +0000 mrsrain 2265518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's pretty bad. I used to feel embarrassed about going out with even slightly-prickly legs. Since LO1 was born, I only shave occasionally... usually if I have a reason to wear a dress (ladies' night out!) or something. And even then I only shave up to my knees :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shaving-before-kids-vs-after#post-2265511 Mon, 17 Aug 2015 19:53:51 +0000 youboots 2265511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kimberlybee: yup, 2 days before my induction, and I did 6 weeks prior due to cutting myself while shaving. I think it depends on the wax/waxer. I love Europian Wax Center. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shaving-before-kids-vs-after#post-2265506 Mon, 17 Aug 2015 19:48:12 +0000 Mae 2265506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>actually maybe a bit more now! But I was never fully on top of my game anyways lol. Luckily I'm not very hairy. But before LO I worked at home and wore yoga pants every day (her sole first year of life too). Now that she's a toddler I try to get out of the house at least once/day and thus I put on real clothes, which during the summer means capris or dresses. So I sort of have to stay on top of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shaving-before-kids-vs-after#post-2265474 Mon, 17 Aug 2015 19:24:46 +0000 ms.line 2265474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HabesBabe: High five. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shaving-before-kids-vs-after#post-2265469 Mon, 17 Aug 2015 19:18:23 +0000 lady grey 2265469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>much less, maybe once per week </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shaving-before-kids-vs-after#post-2265468 Mon, 17 Aug 2015 19:14:56 +0000 Mama Bird 2265468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh heavens. I couldn't do a good job while pregnant, and when I finally tried, my toddler busted into the bathroom, told me I have boy legs, and then offered his assistance. I'm traumatized. Now I limit the shaving to times when he's not home and the baby is not screaming, and those times are few and far between! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shaving-before-kids-vs-after#post-2265458 Mon, 17 Aug 2015 19:08:46 +0000 MrsSRS 2265458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kimberlybee: I did! It wasn't bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shaving-before-kids-vs-after#post-2265452 Mon, 17 Aug 2015 19:01:49 +0000 Torchwood 2265452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same. Even if I don't manage to shower I shave while DH holds LO. It's one of my OCD issues. I can't handle hair or stubble, though I've managed to stop shaving my underarms more than once per day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shaving-before-kids-vs-after#post-2265451 Mon, 17 Aug 2015 18:59:04 +0000 Kimberlybee 2265451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone gotten a Brazillian wax while pregnant? I am very tempted to but scared of extra sensitivity during this time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shaving-before-kids-vs-after#post-2067959 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 06:24:28 +0000 hotchildinthecity 2067959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hasn't changed. Still shave my legs every day and get a brazilian every month. I just do my wax on weekends now....when I'm back at work, I'll do it on my lunch break. </p>
