When I was pregnant last time, I was on TB and the girls were talking about how you should not be clean shaven down there for labour, it is bad for the baby or something....?
Am I crazy or has anyone else heard of this?

Never heard that and I've been at 100s of births (I'm a NICU nurse). I was bare for DDs birth (and plan to be for this one as well) because it is how I am comfortable and the thought of all the gore & mess of afterbirth with hair down there makes me cringe!! Out of the 20+ OBs I've worked with I've never heard one say anything about a preference!
I will say everyone should make sure the top front in trimmed way down/waxed or shaven in the event you have a c/s. Otherwise the nurse will do it for you, and I've heard it's not pretty
That's good to know, I was actually wondering where exactly they do the incision for a c-section so I'd be prepared if it goes that way.

Yeah, I was not bad with DS but the nurse did have to do some trimming. I actually had the OR nurses making comments about her work when they were putting in the catheter. Talk about awkward! (and unprofessional)
I think it stems from the pubic hair being there to keep out germs and bacteria. You're supposed to have hair there as a layer of protection. I've never heard a dr say that someone hurt their baby by waxing though.

In some of the reading material I received about c sections it just says that if you usually don't shave don't do it the night before the c section.
