hair or no hair...that is the question

in April 2013 Moms
I have kinda let the hair situation "down there" go for the last little bit, but I have my first pre natal appointment in two weeks and cant stop thinking about if I should go get waxed the day before, and if it is something I should continue to keep up through out the pregnancy...random and weird thought I know but is anyone else contemplating this??

    Have you always shaved or always waxed? You're going to start to swell down there (just wait until those suckers turn purple because of blood flow) and waxing HURTS!  I typically shave and just continued that through my pregnancy with DS and will do the same this time around. The idea of waxing while pregnant seems like unnecessary pain =)

    I`ve let it go a bit too. While I still can, I`m just taking care of it on my own before appts. I am considering getting it done before my due date though, since there will be so many people taking a gander and I probably won`t be able to do it myself anymore. Is that weird?

    those are my EXACT feelings haha now I feel like it is less weird. This is all firsts for me and I just didnt know if you can still reach to shave properly when you get to be further along, thats the only reason I thought waxing might be a solution...hmmm

    I kept up with my waxing routine through my entire pregnancy with DD and most likely will with this pregnancy. It's just such a habit, that I haven't really thought about it. I think my last wax with DD was at like 37.5/38 weeks or so. PP is right, waxing hurts far more when pregnant because of the increased blood flow (at least I think it does), so if you're not used to it, I wouldn't suggest starting during now lol.

    FWIW, the doctors and nurses aren't going to care either way, it's really what you're comfortable with.

    I was trying to keep things up down there, but the bumps and itching when hair grows back are far worse during pregnancy. I just let it go before my last appointment because I didn't want to walk around scratching myself all day! I may invest in an electric razor and just try to trim from now on.

    I shaved throughout my pregnancy with DS.

    Waxing may start to hurt but you could still shave or do some trimming (I have had a Remington personal groomer for probably 10 years and love it) if it makes you more comfortable.  I don't mind a little (no more than 1/4 inch) down there but I couldn't not keep it trimmed up, probably ever.

    I couldn't care less about this for teh sake of my appointments, but for my HUSBAND I am a little overdue for a wax -- I usually go full brazilian, and I'm about 2 weeks overdue, and kinda dreading it.  ESp since I can't drug up with ibuprofen before.

    I did my lady grooming until the very end during both pregnancies. I intend to do the same this time around.

    I've never been one to wax or completely shave down there because of the discomfort it causes.  I didn't even shave my legs before heading to the ER yesterday.  This is my belief ...

    Honestly if your doing for others don't bother. When its time to get down and dirty and push these little ones out there will be many more less attractive things going on to worry about hair. And if you can reach it in a few months kudos to you!

    I've never waxed (too chicken), I shave. And I was able to do so by feel throughout my pregnancy with DS, didn't even have to ask DH for help. Though I'll admit it may not have looked as great a trim job as it would without a giant belling blocking me view lmao

    Seriously the doctor isn't going to give two flucks if you have a hairy vajayjay or not, or how long it has been since your last shaving or waxing. 

    Also keep in mind that most doctors are somewhat older and probably come from the generation with hairy bushes and probably can't understand why women would want to remove their pubic hair.
