I asked them to stay away from the scar though and it wasn't so bad. If I had to guess, I waxed around 3-4 months pp. so hard to remember now. It was definitely before we went on vacation at 5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waxing-after-c-section#post-1557181 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 16:28:02 +0000 swurlygurl 1557181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would think you wouldn't have any problems with it. I would probably not wax the actual scar, and just shave that area for a while. With regards to worrying about the pulling near the incision area - could you just have her place her hand over the scar to keep the skin around that area firm so it doesn't pull as much? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waxing-after-c-section#post-1557070 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 15:42:19 +0000 Mrs. Markers 1557070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I waxed throughout pregnancy and post-partum beginning at 8 weeks after a c/s. My esthetician was really great about avoiding the area near the scar, so I never really noticed it. It was just as painful as it always had been, but no more so. :happy: good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waxing-after-c-section#post-1557051 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 15:34:41 +0000 Sunshine710 1557051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No problem for me post c-section but I definitely waited a bit before going over the scar. You can ask to avoid waxing on the actual scar and stick to the other areas - no problem! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waxing-after-c-section#post-1557044 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 15:31:33 +0000 LuLu Mom 1557044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Props, there is no way I could have done it so close to my C-section. maybe 6 months? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waxing-after-c-section#post-1557039 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 15:29:11 +0000 BabyBruins 1557039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeydew: I waxed (everything) from about halfway through my pregnancy, ended up with a wax about a week before my unplanned c-section and resumed waxing about 10 weeks PP. This pregnancy, I have waxed every 4 weeks throughout (I got a wax the morning I got my BFP, I think she knew before my husband :silly: ) and I am hoping to do my last one around 38 weeks and resume at 10 weeks PP again.<br /> I don't notice my scar and its not sensitive, but you can request that they avoid the actual scar and just go around it. If anything, I don't have any feeling around and on my scar. This pregnancy, I have noticed more ingrown hairs on my scar and my waxer says its because my skin is stretching and trapping the hair. Still doesn't bother me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waxing-after-c-section#post-1556994 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 15:13:22 +0000 septca 1556994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I B waxed throughout my pregnancy and starting at about 8 weeks pp (no c/s though). It was more sensitive for a few months, but is now back to normal. </p> <p>I also waxed fairly soon after my lap (two incisions in waxing area) with no issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waxing-after-c-section#post-1556917 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 14:53:25 +0000 Ash 1556917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 4 months pp and even shaving near my incision creeps me out - I couldn't imagine waxing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waxing-after-c-section#post-1556913 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 14:51:53 +0000 Kimberlybee 1556913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeydew: I had a full Brazilian wax at 4 months pp because I hate the after growth feeling from shaving. It was so painful and super sensitive because I had zero waxing done during pregnancy. So my tolerance wasn't as good as before but totally worth it. Good luck! :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waxing-after-c-section#post-1556904 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 14:48:12 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1556904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeydew: Clippers and shaving. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waxing-after-c-section#post-1556859 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 14:38:56 +0000 Honeydew 1556859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia So what have you done to maintain or clean up post partum? Also I haven't gone to the waxing. Just wondering when was the first time post c-section to get waxed or should I just can the idea and/or notion that I should just trim it myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waxing-after-c-section#post-1556572 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 13:35:52 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1556572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 15 months post c-section and cannot imagine waxing that area even now. Major props to you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waxing-after-c-section#post-1556561 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 13:32:55 +0000 Honeydew 1556561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>**WARNING TMI*** :grin: </p> <p>Question for you ladies about bikini waxing. I am 12 weeks post C-section and have been given the green light to resume love making with the Hubs at 8 weeks post partum. It's been since 37 weeks pregnant that I have had any sort of grooming in my nether region and had to leave it alone because of my c- section so its looking a little unruly "down there'. LOL I want to feel sexy again, but am a little afraid of the pulling especially around the scar area.</p> <p>Do you think it is ok and safe now to resume the "waxing of the bush"? I don't want to go back to shaving, because I've built up a tolerance to the waxing. </p>
