Poll: 'landscaping' before delivery?

muffinhead · November 2008

after talking with Marsenmmo about the fun stories in L&D, I was wondering...

did you groom before the baby was born?

I am now super commited to making sure about gardening ever since hearing the phrase "pulling a Gary Coleman or Orange Peel"...

LOL!

OMG - my DH asked me that the other day. I was thinking... why is HE worried about that. I haven't even done it WHILE PG.

B actually asked? what the heck was going through his mind that he would ask you that? Boys are so funny....

I KNOW!! I totally asked him "why"... and I can't remember his lame answer!

If you have a c-section and haven't "groomed", they do it for you.

I did it myself, thank you very much.

Out of curiosity... just how much do they take off!?!

I don't know, but she had a disposable bic in her hand and I wasn't about to find out (I had "groomed" during my entire pregnancy, so there was no need).

all of it. I however had my DH do it the night prior.. cause I did not want a nurse doing it!

In my experience, just a very thin horizontal strip right at the top. It wasn't that big of a deal.

MrsCole · November 2008

Seriously this is the LEAST of my concerns come d-day!

Can someone please explain the Gary Coleman and Orange Peel comments? Maybe I'm naive, but... I don't get it.

I did, btw, because I figured it would make the PP stuff less messy. But I do think that my version of Hell is a bikini wax during pregnancy. DAMN.

Ditto. And I don't/can't shave. I get bad razor burn.

It is the texture left behind. Does that make sense?

One word: NAIR

bb_n_jp · November 2008

Hmmm, ok, Gary Coleman makes sense, orange peel not so much but then again I am not sure I even want to think about it.

Nair down there? Sounds like it would sting big-time, but then again I haven't tried Nair since high school and I'm guessing they've changed it since then (it used to smell like perm chemicals).

This thread it cracking me up!!

I groomed throughout pg; however, the morning I went to the hospital I had NO idea I was really in labor. I seriously thought they were going to send me home- only to find out I was dilated 7+ centimeters. I immediately blushed as I realized not only had I not groomed recently, I hadn't even shaved my legs. I apologized to the L and D nurse about this and she laughed. Sigh. So, apparently I was more than a Gary Coleman...lol. I was the hairy legged screamer. Note to self: shave legs at all costs this time!

I don't shave above the thigh as it is...not going to do it during pg. I tell DH that I'll shave mine when he shaves his. I shave under arms, chin, and legs. Hope no one thinks any less of me Embarrassed

BlissfulGurl · November 2008

TMI but I was waiting until near my due date to wax. And well she came 4 weeks early so there you have it. Honestly I didn't give a sh!t, and I don't think the nurses did either lol!

I was at the wax appt. going "ITS WORTH IT IT"S WORTH IT!!!?

ModernMomma · November 2008

I did not groom for most of the pg, but I did shave my legs and trim the rest the morning I was in labor.

I was glad I trimmed because the aftercare was much less messy and easier to keep clean.

Oh, for those of you that can't shave because of the bumps, invest in a trimmer, and just use it on the lowest setting (think your DH's electric razor, but don't use his, or he'll pitch a fit ;-)

I wax all the time and I did it at 9 months PG. ?Let me tell you that was PAIN!!! ?hehe

futrkingsley · November 2008

I did not landscape and was landscaped without any warning by a nurse just before they got me ready for delivery. Electric razor, all of it was GONE. OR at least I think it was. I couldn't see it for weeks even after delivery and I wasn't exactly feeling around afterwards. Dear god that whole thing just sucked and shaving was the least of it.
