@Gretchypoo I mean, if I were going to dye it, I would have gone lavender to match my wedding colours. You never want your bush to clash with your wedding colour scheme. Tres gauche, darling.
I won't lie, I generally only shave down there when I'm going to the pool so people don't see the awkward little trail of pubes running along my inner thights. Hubby has helped trim a few times, but he's never seemed bothered by my bush so I've never felt the need to do much about it.
I've used clippers for trimming 'down there' for at least a decade. I like ultra-short but can't handle the ingrown hairs, etc. Totally hoping I can keep it up with some cleverly placed mirrors.

Unrelated: DH and I did an escape room with our friends last night. So much fun! If you haven't tried it and have one in your area, I highly recommend it as a pregnant lady friendly activity (although the first time we did one, I was able to drink, and it might have been just a smidge more fun).
I've always shaved and so far, I'm still able to do it by feel.
Hopefully I'll be able to keep it up.
I am also doing it by feel now. But not because my belly is in the way - it's been well established that I am still belly-free. But I can't see over my goddamn boobs anymore.
I have no desire to start waxing now, but I kinda wish I would have started awhile ago. I'll just keep shavings I have been for as long as I'm able. I hate having hair down there
Yeah I think you'll be able to shave by feel until the end. It just gets more difficult! And OMG some of you, I don't know how you can stand it! I have to shave it all of like every other day!!!

I, too, keep it trimmed. Idk how you shave every other day?! how do you not get ingrown hairs or little cuts?! share your secrets, Obi-Wan!
It's ladies night! My DH and 2 of my friends' DH are kicking us out for the rest of the weekend! They're sending us to a bigger town close by to hotel, hang out, and take a break! Woot woot!!!
@srscott3 I hope you are doing well and he bleeding has stopped. So Scary but I'm glad the baby looks good and you are calm.
@scifichick09 your ring is beautiful. We should do a GTKY of pictures of our wedding rings. I love wedding rings they are so pretty and I love the unique ones and heirlooms.
@spicyweiner I am so happy for your friend with Secondary IF. It's so hard and I get all the feels when IFers get their positive! My sister who barely tried for her first one has struggled for years trying for number two but her transfer is Wednesday and there is nothing in this world I want more than for it to be successful. All the feels!!
Guys!!! I just got a 2015 Uppababy Vista off craigslist. Lady threw in her bassinet stand too. Saved like $550.
I have very few people I can brag about this too in real life. I needed to share. My husband is not nearly excited enough about this victory.
ETA: AND a rain cover. It was in my SIL's city, not mine, so she picked it up for me. So I am just finding out about all the stuff she included. I think my savings are close to $600 now.
@Xstatic3333 Not to mention this woman used it for like 3 months before deciding she liked another model better. Apparently the bassinet has been used once. Not that it matters, because, like you said, they hold up great. But it sounds like this one is damn close to new.
@perrasucia I don't know the proper way to say this. I'm sorry if it doesn't come out right... I think it's because those with later losses sometimes cremate so the term could be a reminder of that.
I was trying to think of another fun GTKY post like we had last weekend, and the only thing I could think of was the "three word conception story" I saw on one of the other BMBs. But I'm still too creeped out by the catfish thing. Or really stupid ones, like share your least favorite hashtag.
@Xstatic3333 I know, right? I was shocked when I saw the listing. I'm not going to question it, but I kinda wanted to point her in the direction of babygearlab before she made any other major purchases. I don't think of stroller purchases as the kind of thing you do on a whim. I was researching this before I got my BFP (but, then again, I am a crazy person. Not everyone had a spreadsheet of research before getting knocked up...).
I'm struggling right now, don't know who to talk to. First I want to say my baby and I are good, but the rest is ******TW LOSS*******
I've mentioned in here before that I have a sister who is pregnant right now. Her due date was Sept 17. Next Saturday. Ive also put in the dreams thread a nightmare i had about her, and now its come to be a reality. Around 2 am Friday (yesterday) morning, my sister went into labor. She went to the hospital around 7, where they confirmed it. When they hooked up the monitors, they couldn't find the baby's heartbeat. My sister and her husband were informed that the baby, passed away. After several hours we were given the cause. She had a placental abruption. She hadn't had any signs besides a quick sharp pain during the middle of the night, but she didn't have any bleeding. My mind is a total mess. I've been feeling so sick. I couldn't sleep last night. I woke up every few minutes with my sister, her husband and the baby flashing through my mind. I was so scared she wouldn't want to see me. This whole pregnancy I've been so excited to share it with her. We've talked about so much. She was naming the baby after my grandpa who passed away in 2014. My grandma and late grandpas anniversary is Sept 15 so it's been so exciting to have a baby born around that time and share my grandpa's name. It's so unfair. When I saw her I didn't know what to do. I just hugged her and told her I loved her. She just kept repeating over and over as she pointed to my belly to tell the baby I love it everyday. When she finally delivered her sweet baby boy, he was so perfect. I can't believe that's it. That was the only time I'll get to hold and snuggle my nephew. I won't get to spoil him. I won't get to buy him those fun toys that make noise and drive parents crazy. I'll see my sister over the holidays, without her precious baby, while my belly is hopefully growing. It hurts so bad to still have my baby growing and hope to get to bring mine home while she is making funeral arrangements. I feel so sick thinking about it. The funeral is Tuesday. Then the following Tuesday is my anatomy scan. I was so excited for it, and now I'm terrified. I want my baby to be healthy. But I'm so worried to hear the sex. I don't know if I'll be able to mentally prepare myself for a boy... my husband has shown slight preference for a boy although he hides it well. But now I'm afraid I'll just cry to hear that. It would be rubbing salt in an open wound. My mom took pictures of me with the baby, and said she will send them to me. I asked her to wait until the evening, so now I'm feeling very stressed and anxious in a bad way. I'm sorry for coming to you guys about this. I feel like it's not appropriate to talk to family because they are suffering too. I feel bad bringing it here because many of you have had some losses. I'm just feeling like this is a nightmare and it's not real. I think I'm just asking for prayers for myself and our family, or any good thoughts to come our way.
@kswiger06 I'm so sorry about your sisters loss. That is such a horrible feeling and I can understand all the emotions you're going through right now. I can't speak for everyone else, but you can always talk to me about it. Just PM me. In the meantime, please please take care of yourself and your baby. XOXO
@kswiger06 my heart breaks for your sister and your whole family. She is in my thoughts and prayers and I hope that you are able to find comfort and strength in your family.

@MLRocha no, no need to shave you for a vaginal delivery. I believe for a C they shave around the incision site which includes the top of your pubes.
