shaving..
ladies -- anyone else feel like shaving is so difficult these days?!
My poor SO, I try to stay fresh (all over) because we are still VERY sexually active, but it is so much work! Takes easily ten minutes just to get my hoohaa and I feel like I'm going in blind because I can't see anything because of this belly- hahaha, it really is very funny, espcially when I come out and yell D, how'd I do? hahaha. My legs are a whole other storyyy -- i get winded after the 1st one from reaching over, and dont even want to do the other, but of course must. some have said to sit but I feel like that squishes my lungs even more -- SO would be okay if I didnt shave honestly, he thinks im beautiful hairy or not (LOL) but thats what makes me want to stay fresh & clean --- ahhh shaving.. damn you!!

Re: shaving..
I just got waxed and it was so painful! I did it regularly when I was pregnant with my son with NO problem - this time I almost cried!
Embrace the hair
hahahaha or maybe SO would be interested in making it a joint effort

Baby girl due 11/22/12!
I feel ya, its getting harder to shave my lady bits and let me tell you- its just going to get harder these next few weeks!!
My suggestion though? Keep up with it even if you aren't doing the best job. I had to shave blindly towards the end as well last time, but I felt like healing/keeping things clean was MUCH easier than it would have been all hairy. JMO though
And yes, I've heard waxing while pregnant is much more painful, just stick to shaving what you can
Even if thats just your lady bits and from the knees down, haha...

I totally understand! I cannot wax due to a skin condition, but I am seriously considering going to a waxing place and paying them to just do a good shave for me every few weeks! It's so hard to do it myself now!
I feel less sexy already due to my belly and such. (Don't get me wrong.. I totally embrace it when fully clothed but naked it's just not sexy to me..) I do not need the extra/faster hair growth especially while not being able to "keep it up" like I used to... ugh!
Shaving has become one of those things I only do when I have to. (Poor DH!) We all know that just makes it harder when that time comes.. but what can ya do? Bending is hard!
last night i couldn't hardly reach the back of my legs i almost had to call my dear husband in to help out but i value my legs and don't want them being all cut up. thank goodness I'm still a little flexible.
my friend (who is 8 months pregnant) said to take a hand mirror in the shower with you to help you be able to see. she's a nut.
Ditto this! I hadn't used one since college, where it made dorm shower stall shaving easier, but I got one recently. It definitely helps!
This! Waxing has been so painful the 2 times I did it while pregnant. And shaving has become a CHORE!, so DH does it
He enjoys doing it and makes our showers fun haha.
OMG, I just waxed for the first time since pregnant (I'd done it before). I had the lady use hard wax (less painful), which in my previous experience wasn't that bad. Yauza!! THAT was definitely more painful then what I remember.
I had heard that you're more sensitive while pregnant, but it wasn't what I expected. A couple of areas were more difficult then others, but towards the end, it wasn't that bad. I feel so much better now and my DH was very excited with the new look.
I like the idea of having DH shave you though. I've done that before and we both enjoyed it.
Good luck!
Legs I have an issue but can still prop my leg up on the wall in the shower but will use our tub soon.
I use to before pregnancy use Nair- and after the time I have been having= really can't see jack...I'm thinking of using nair again= rub and use the plastic razor to pull off in the tub...seems more logical than sitting/guessing and DH says it's ok til I look in the mirror and feel so dumb for even trying!
