I was HUGE!!! But there was no way in hell I was going to go in there without a trip to Brazil. I will say it wasn't as bad as I thought but the waxer did say she was suprised I tolerated it so well. I've been waxing for years so that could have something to do with it. I wouldn't make it your first time while preggers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woman-scaping#post-791852 Fri, 17 May 2013 15:09:29 +0000 MsLipGloss 791852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I shaved all through my pregnancy - I was glad I did. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woman-scaping#post-791810 Fri, 17 May 2013 14:56:56 +0000 swurlygurl 791810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I managed to take care of it by feel... not too difficult if you start trying it without looking before you get too big! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woman-scaping#post-791809 Fri, 17 May 2013 14:56:46 +0000 MrsF 791809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tried to keep things "reasonable", but it's not easy with the belly. Honestly though, as a medical person myself, they really have seen it all. Worry about your own comfort, not theirs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woman-scaping#post-791805 Fri, 17 May 2013 14:55:42 +0000 Alivoo01 791805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to keep it trimmed down there, and am currently able to do it myself at 28 weeks. We'll see how that works out as my belly continues to grow.</p> <p>@char54: hahahahahahahahaha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woman-scaping#post-791776 Fri, 17 May 2013 14:41:05 +0000 Charm54 791776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm too scared to wax and having a harder time shaving now. I think I will just try to keep things tidy until baby comes. I don't really care that much because as others have said, they've seen it all! </p> <p>I did have a really hot young doctor today for my routine prenatal and the thought "OMG why can't you be old and ugly???" ran through my head a few times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woman-scaping#post-791745 Fri, 17 May 2013 14:30:38 +0000 littlek 791745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I shaved the entire pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woman-scaping#post-791742 Fri, 17 May 2013 14:29:13 +0000 Vegmama 791742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was in the process of getting laser hair removal before getting pregnant ... you can't do it while pregnant or breastfeeding, but thankfully most of the hair is gone. It's the lighter (more difficult to get to hair) that I'll have to shave (and I'll try to keep up with it during pregnancy ... at least when I have appointments). </p> <p>I've heard waxing is really painful during pregnancy. Anyone experience this? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woman-scaping#post-789710 Thu, 16 May 2013 22:32:26 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 789710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeydew: yup! i got it done about 2-weeks before my due date too because i didn't want to scare the doctors and nurses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woman-scaping#post-789584 Thu, 16 May 2013 21:53:00 +0000 Smurfette 789584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I shaved till I needed a mirror and then still tried to do it blindly, hot mess. For waxed at 37 weeks. Glad I did, helped me feel more normal in those first weeks after baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woman-scaping#post-789505 Thu, 16 May 2013 21:34:14 +0000 Mrs. J 789505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am getting waxed next week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woman-scaping#post-789498 Thu, 16 May 2013 21:33:25 +0000 swedishfish 789498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH has taken over the trimming responsibilities. I get scared each time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woman-scaping#post-789466 Thu, 16 May 2013 21:27:48 +0000 yin 789466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I kept up until the last week of my pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woman-scaping#post-789460 Thu, 16 May 2013 21:26:59 +0000 MrsRoo 789460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I trimmed with an electric trimmer once I couldn't see anymore. I didn't trust myself (or DH) down there with an actual razor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woman-scaping#post-789439 Thu, 16 May 2013 21:22:45 +0000 chopsuey 789439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I shaved! It was challenging, but doable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woman-scaping#post-789406 Thu, 16 May 2013 21:17:07 +0000 Sweet T 789406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I shaved throughout my pregnancy with DS. I would usually sit in the tub and shave by feel. Either way, your doctor has seen so many patients! I'm sure they have patients that never shave. I don't think they really care. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woman-scaping#post-789398 Thu, 16 May 2013 21:16:14 +0000 rachiecakes 789398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep, all 40 weeks until I was induced!<br /> I hate the feeling of stubble/hair, especially being big &amp; sweaty. And I could keep an eye on my episiotomy stitches afterwards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woman-scaping#post-789379 Thu, 16 May 2013 21:13:23 +0000 Honeydew 789379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ladies. Woman scaping(ie wax, shave, or au natural) is easiest to maintain in you first trimester. Do you or have you in vain tried to keep up throughout your pregnancy? </p> <p>I'm afraid that I wouldn't be able to keep up and the poor doctor has to find my baby through the jungle bush. If you know what I mean. Do you still go see a waxer? </p>
