while ttc I gave up my bikini waxes. I felt like my chemical pregnancy happened when I first started and couldn't get pregnant while doing them. well I got pregnant a couple months after stopping (not sure if it was related). I was then afraid if I did it all the blood would rush away from the baby so tonight was the first time since I hit 13 weeks.
Holy mother f-ER did it hurt. I was ready to say screw this and hop off the table. Omg I never wanted to cry so badly. And I can't even drown my sorrow in wine.
That pain scares me worse than labor! That's why I just keep it trimmed. I use a buzzer with the smallest attachment because I once knicked my labia using no attachment. Now my belly is getting bigger so it's harder to see.... thinking I might just let it grow.
Wow, I disagree! I didn't think it was any worse than usual. Keep going and the pain will not be as bad. I haven't gone in 8 weeks and I am dreading going now but that's my fault.
@Goldsgirl9 it was about 4/5 months for me. So I was definitely overdo which didn't help. I'll suck it up and keep going since I know grooming only gets harder. But I wish I could get epidural during it.
I've only ever had my eyebrows waxed, and that was painful enough! A bikini wax while pregnant sounds like torture. I try to "trim it up" now and then, but at 32 weeks it's more an exercise in not accidentally mutilating myself rather than grooming.

I'm not even religious, but I definitely have been letting 'Jesus take the wheel' with my razor down there! All I can do is aim and hope for the best.
I have always done most of my razor work sight unseen, so as long as I can comfortably reach everything, I think I'll be okay.
@emgee27 I love the image of Jesus shaving your naughty bits.
