2nd Trimester

well, it's official

I can no longer see my cooter. Did you ladies find a new way to groom or just give up?

Re: well, it's official

  • Occasional blind attempts at shaving. Probably dangerous though and more ridiculous looking than a hairy coochie because I definitely miss a lot of spots.

  • LMAO! I honestly thought I was the only one with this problem! HAHAHA!!! I gave up with "trimming" during my first pregnancy and found it easier to just shave myself bald since I couldn't see what the heck I was doing down there. This time, at 17 weeks right now, I'm already finding it difficult to see what I'm doing. I'm pretty good at going in blind but if it gets tough again, I'm going to just go bald again.

  • My last attempt was my last, I believe. I might try one more time, but it was so difficult last time. I think it might be better to give up!

  • Yes and it's so annoying. Lucky for me my boyfriend does it for me before every appointment. The legs also get difficult later.
  • I busted out the mirror last time. I didn't want to be hairy. I shaved while in early labour too! It's really no easy task.

    Brazilian wax.  I've been doing it for years.  I don't ever want to go back to shaving.  

    This doesn't hurt more during pregnancy?? I had my last Brazillian done while I was a day away from my period, and even that raised the sensitivity and bleeding a bit... luckily I had a glass of wine, courtesy of the waxer, to soothe me but... no wine this time! I really want to get one soon!

  • Girl I shave by braille :) and I try to move the belly as best I can to all the "patches" that may have been missed... Honestly I think that by the time my daughters due date came around I just went au naturale... Will probably do that again with baby boy come December.

  • I used a mirror last time, but now I'm officially done.  Soon my legs will go cavegirl like too.  Sigh.

  • Ladies, I just have to say I got the biggest laughs out of this thread. The braille comment was priceless! Nice one skychick!
  • Precious! Yeah I'm not giving up but it is more treacherous! Lol

  • I have officially given up since the last time I tried I created a new line of hair right above the bikini line. I've been wondering if using something like NAIR would be safe:/

  • I was wondering the same exact thing. My belly is still pretty small at this time so I beleive I still have a little while before this becomes a problem. I am VERY pleased that I will be my biggest during the winter because my husband is already used to me letting my legs go a little longer than usual when its cold. Smile I'm not sure what I would do if I was pregnant during the summer, especially living in AZ!

    I've gotten two Brazilian waxes while pregnant so far. Doesn't hurt any more than it did when I got it done while expecting my period. I've been getting them for a few years though also so my pain tolerance for them increased. Everyone is different. I refuse to shave anymore, too.

  • I had to look in the mirror while I trimmed mine. Even at that it wasn't the best trim :(

  • I can still shave the sides, then I have DH use the trimmer on the 'landing strip.' when. Get to the point that I can't shave I will have him trim it all.

    I've considered this but I worry with that bc of my discharge I will be too embarassed to let anyone down there
  • Isn't that fun? I also do the blind approach in spurts, and then have DH help me when completely necessary, but that is always less than fun.

  •  I usually wax.  When I shave its kinda uncomfortable when it starts growing back (sorry TMI).  I find when I wax I dont have had problem.
  • I don't have this problem yet, but I just talked about this with my bf the other day and he said he would do it for me when I couldnt anymore.

  • I'm 20wks and it's def harder to do and kind of exhausts me by the time I'm done but I told my husband he's gonna have to start taking over soon and he said he's fine with it but it's just a little weird lol I guess it'll just bring us closer. I just feel like it's one step away from having to wipe my butt for me ;) LOVE huh? 

     

    P.S

    But I DO plan on getting a brazilian around when the time the baby is born so it'll last a lil longer.

  • I noticed this being more difficult the last time I did it...not looking forward to not being able to see at all!! But, DH doesn't mind "helping", so at least I know I won't have to go amazon woman for delivery. =)

  • I kept up with my normal waxes until I delivered last time, and plan to this time as well.  So much better than dealing with razor bumps!
