i saw this once on a list of pregnancy "don'ts" but i'm not sure whether to believe it--the idea is that ingrown hairs could hurt the baby, but it seems kind of far-fetched to me . . . did you ladies wax when pregnant? as long as i'm bloated and feel ugly, i'm clinging to anything that makes me feel well-groomed, LOL.

    I think it would hurt like a biotch. I do not think it will hurt the baby though. My eyebrow wax hurts more now that I am KU.

    OUUUUUUUUCH!

    I can't even think about waxing right now - I just got my eyebrows threaded and it hurt so bad that I cried.  and I used to be a brazillian bikini girl without blinking an eye.

    Also, I think the worry is also about infection...

    I have never heard this.  I did get a bikini wax and have waxed my face a couple of times since being pregnant with no infections or problems.

    I never heard or read this. I had a bikini and full leg wax done around 19 weeks before we went on our babymoon, with no problems. I didn't notice that it hurt any worse than before I was pregnant.

    I don't think that it has anything to do with hurting the baby, but more that your hormones are crazy and it will hurt like a SOB.  However, I don't know for sure...

    The other thing that I have heard is that you should wax or shave too close to delivery b/c then you could develop an infection.  Not sure how true this is, but I believe I heard it as part of the Bumpie grapevine. 

    Nothing to see here....

    I got a bikini wax days before my Csection at 37 weeks pg.  Didn't hurt anymore than normal.  I say go for it!

    This is crazy.  You can get in grown hairs from shaving too!  So we shouldn't shave either??
