A hairy question...

kellyt327 · May 2011

Has your, uh, grooming routine changed since you have been pregnant?

I can no longer actually SEE what I'm doing, but I am trying my best to keep things under control.

melissa.1985 · May 2011

Of course it has. When you can't SEE down there things will change lol.

gmc222 · May 2011

Yes and no. Now I have to use a mirror and some funny angles to trim, but unless its summer or I have an internal exam scheduled then I don't typically shave or wax my bikini line because I get irritated very easily.

Gummybear · May 2011

I just kind of go at it blindly. I am very lucky to be not very hairy so I just feel around and cross my fingers. It ain't pretty down there right now, perfect landing strip or not.

Jay_Cee · May 2011

My habits are the same, but my routine has definitely changed. I have to bend into all weird kinds of angles in order to see what I'm doing. I think it won't be long until the Mr. has to help out or I'm going to go retro and sport the 70s bush (eek!), haha.

Writhing around on my back in the bath with both legs in the air. Can't breathe OR see......but my va-jay-jay is still impeccable.

Nope....same ole'.

Kristin131 · May 2011

I do keep forgetting about it since I can't see it anymore lol. But when I actually remember to, I can still twist in a way to get is without a mirror. That window is rapidly closing though and I will most likely use a mirror like I did last time. I had a sugaring done (similar to waxing but seems to last much longer) a few weeks ago and plan to one more time around 36/37 weeks to get me through delivery and a little after.

MarshaBrady · May 2011

I feel like I'm just a week or two away from not being able to see down there. As it is, I kind of lean to each side to see what I'm doing. I'm thinking a mirror would help.

About a month ago, I reverted to said "retro bush" LOL....If I can't see it, it's not there! but I'm still going to try to atleast trim it for apts and stuff...

DH takes care of it for me. He actually enjoys doing it and did a few times pre-pregnancy. I definitely let it go a little longer than I did before though.

AshleyM1985 · May 2011

I whipped out the clippers and a mirror and had fun trying to trim it all... I'm used to it being bare... But i can't see her anymore. so I told my hair dresser it's time to go back to brazillians... so I scheduled one! I hate hair!

damabo80 · May 2011

I do it by feel and a mirror.

I haven't had a flat tummy in years, so I got used to doing it by feel in the shower...not that much different now. I'm sure it's not a work of art, but it's enough so that I don't feel so yedi-ish.

ETA: Yeti...not yedi. This:

You crack my sh!t up.

HappyKlamb10 · May 2011

It's been interesting to say the least. I have to bend wayyyy over and peek around the sides of my bump to see. And then I have DH "spot check" to make sure I did a decent job. lol. After last week's attempt, I told DH it might be time for him to take over!!

graceb15 · May 2011

I resorted to getting bikini waxes once a month. I hate shaving in the 1st place and its nice to be all smooth and bare down there. DH loves it too.

lissiealkie · May 2011

Not so bad so far. I remember with DS though towards the end when I couldn't bend over enough to catch a peek at what I was doing, it looked like my lady parts were weed whacked by a blind man.

MFAinNYC · May 2011

I wax.

wendy2613 · May 2011

Since I cannot see it at all (no matter how I contort myself to try) I go by feel and have nicked myself twice now... but still trying. I used to shave down there everyday, now it's more like every 2-3 days, and even less frequent for my legs. Oh well, I don't really care as much right now since the china isn't used as often. Wink

BookishMomma · May 2011

I was just joking with a friend about this today. I have made attempts, but I'm afraid of injuring myself since I can't see, so I've pretty much given up.

cburitz · May 2011

Bwahaha. I used to shave daily (or at least EOD). Now, I probably only shave once a week and that's only because it starts itching. I can't really see what I'm doing so it's mostly by feel.

Whatever. I dont care anymore. Stick out tongue

weebos8 · May 2011

I got one of those trimmers and that has made a huge difference. Yay for not being so hairy anymore!

sare_bear · May 2011

Electric razor.

What's sugaring? I have never heard of that before.

MuseumMaven · May 2011

I'm still making an attempt, but I'm not too worried about it. I can't see anymore, and I figure a little extra hair is better than a razor or scissors injury!

shelliescove3 · May 2011

I was waxed on friday after a few weeks of hack jobs with my razor I gave up. And it feels so much better now! Not a fan of hair... Ill get waxed again once more before D-day since my esthetician is going on vaca... I hope thats going to be enough lol.

Make a pregnancy ticker

lesmanly0506 · May 2011

My DH has taken on the job for me since I can not see it anymore! I hate hair and I hate the itchy feeling when it starts to grow back! After LO arrives, I'm going to owe DH BIG!!!
