Im dreading....

Shaving my legs tonight and ladyscaping. Sad thing is that I only do it before ob appointments. Anyone else feeling like they have been horribly neglecting the body hair? Its just not a priority and bending over to shave with heartburn sucks. Sorry for the vent post but am seriously dreading it. Anything you are dreading this week?

  • I gave up on the vajayjay a looooong time ago.  Legs are getting harder - I wear maxi skirts so now I am only shaving my ankles and a little bit above.

  • I've only lady scaped 2x this entire pregnancy, so the fact you are doing it before all appointments is an accomplishment in my book.

    I'm getting to the point I dread taking showers...they are so much work. I mean, I am showering of course but I am not always happy about it. It's so much to deal with trying to reach everywhere to wash and dry off, the there is dealing with long wet hair, ugh. I understand why pregos whack all their hair off now!

    I also dread work Every. Single. Morning.
  • Yes my legs are so hairy. I asked my Dh to help me groom but he won't. He said he'd just duct tape a razor to a yard stick so that I don't have to bend over so far lol. He's so crazy. Needless to say, I look like a gorilla from the waist down lol
  • do you have something you can prop your leg up on so you don't have to bend over? I have been living in dresses so I have to keep up with shaving but I just prop my leg up on the soap shelf and its not so bad....and lady parts I just go in blindly hahah.

  • I figure I'll give my lady bits one more trim and that's it until LO is here...I'm sure the OB, doctors and nurses have seen much worse.  As for my legs, I try to keep them up because 1. it's insanely hot out and shorts are all I'll wear and 2. it's easier to keep them up than to try and play catch up when they've grown like weeds.

  • I've noticed that in the past few years, I've shaved my legs less and less. I only shave it like once a month.

    I haven't had any vaginal checks except for my 36 wk appt, and that's the only time I shaved down there this whole time

  • Lol I'm right there with you! I still only do it before my OB appointments but I must say at almost 38 weeks it is becoming a huge challenge!!
  • I can still lift my leg up and lean it against the wall to shave. I'm not looking forward to when I can't do that anymore. As for lady scaping I gave up on that. I was thinking about doing it this week but it seems like a lot of work.

  • Right there with you. I dread trying to shave and feeling like a ran a marathon. That and putting lotion on after my shower. It's so hard to reach certain areas now that I just feel like an awkward cow.

  • I dread it too! I am not letting it grow either. Not possible! I will itch! I hate havin hair down there. I think I blind shave better than I do when I can see lol!

     

  • Shaving my legs and lady parts has become such a pain that I have been neglecting it due to back pain and BH.  Its one of the things I'm looking forward to doing again after this pregnancy is over.

    This exactly! I use the stand up shower in our master bath so there's no place for me to put my foot up and I feel like I'm dying after shaving my legs! The lady bits get shaved completely blind lol it's all about feeling not seeing what I'm doing
  • Shaving my legs is difficult but not too terrible. Getting the lady parts however is a huge challenge, but I personally don't like being super furry down there so I shave once or twice a week. I'll be so happy when I can see down there again and don't have to go in blind!

  • I dread going to work everyday.

  • This may sound aweful. But i dread getting out of bed. All that getting out of bed leads to is getting dressed in professional dress doing my hair and make up. Then going to school and dealing with clients and contractions.

    People. Dont no show to an appointment. Call and say you wont make it. Dont waste my time.

    I only do it for OB appts as well. Poor DH! It's such a chore now!

    This!
  • I hate washing my hair. It's long and fine and gets so tangled. Mh is Hairdresser and he hates doing my hair too. We fight over it because he hurts me when he brushes it and I whine so when I come to the salon I now brush it myself so we don't fight lol
  • I've been super lazy with all shaving (other than armpits).

    That being said, I have been trying to shave my legs and do some blind sweeps in the bikini area in case I go into labor anytime soon.

  • Uh yeah, I am down to shaving my legs once a week. And lady parts? hahahaha... that ended when I could no longer see it!

    Legs are every other day, but it's getting too tiring. So that'll change. LOL I tried shaving my bikini area blindly and all I got was nasty razor burn. I'm probably not touching that again until I can see it.

  • Yes, shaving is reserved for swim days and lady parts for my OB appt. it is definitely a challenge. I also wanted to add how hard it was to pee on the little stick at my last appt.....can't even see it! Hahaha
  • I shaved my legs this morning. FI noticed that they are patchy- HAA! he won't do it for me because he's afraid he'd cut me- he trims his facial hair with an electric razor so he's not used to using a real one.

    Gave up on lady scaping a month or more ago.. Out of sight, out of mind, i guess. :)

    This is me 100%. I still shower on days when I don't have to work, but it's minimal effort--no make-up, blow dryer, flat iron, shaving, etc.

    If I didn't have to spend all this time and energy getting ready I might not mind, but it's become so draining.

  • I think I've done my legs maybe 3x this whole pregnancy. As for my lady bits, after about week 20 I told DH if he wanted me bald he'd have to do it himself. He's done it twice since then, though thankfully he's not complaining.

    Other than that, I look like a yetti. I am ok with that.

  • Ha ha ha! Too funny ladies...good to know I'm not alone. Got the lady bits done. Still need to do the legs. I have a stand up shower so basically need to fold in half to do it. Might say screw it..lol.
