Waxing

AgeandEm09 · June 2011

Hi Ladies,

I am pretty new to the group, entering cautiously. I have a Brazilian wax appointment scheduled for today. I am exactly 5 weeks today. Is anyone else out there planning on waxing during pregnancy? Do you think it is safe at this point? I do know it is supposed to hurt way more, though!

Thanks for your input!

Welcome to the board! To my knowledge, there is no reason why you couldn't get waxed. You will definitely be more sensitive, so it may be more painful than normal. I know a lot of women in 3rd tri who get waxed just because they can't see what they're doing down there, so I wouldn't see why you couldn't do it now. Good luck!

I regularly have wax appts and I have one next week since getting my BFP, I'm planning to still go and hopefully keep up with my appts until I can't stand the pain since they say you are more sensitive when pregnant.

I have read numerous things saying it is completely safe and not harmful to baby. I plan on telling my esthetician that I'm pregnant when I see her next week.

Congrats on your BFP!

I want to wax while I'm pregnant. It would be so much easier. But the last time (also the 1st time) I went, it was so painful and unpleasant I don't know if I could tolerate it while pregnant.
