Urgent question regarding 28 week appt

karacakes98 · January 2014

So, did you have your appointment yet? How did it go?! I'm just DYING to know what your doc thought about your new nether regions 'do!

*eyeroll* IDGAF about the state of my pubic hair and really doubt medical personnel care, either. I've given birth twice sporting a full-on 70's bush and no one batted an eye.

This might qualify as urgent on the BabyCenter birth month club board.....

Saw "37 new responses" by this thread. *click*. Read a few. Yes, we are STILL telling OP how pubic hair does not qualify as an urgent matter.

Mine seems kind of an urgent matter. I can't see it but it feels like Fenghorn Forest down there.

...this is all I could think of...

I have an urgent question...

Should I have S'Mores or Chocolate Fudge Pop Tarts for breakfast? Hurry guys, I need to know NOW.

Hmmm. Tough one.

Zombielove126 · January 2014

@katykatykaty I think you should eat the chocolate fudge and pass the S'mores over here. Oh, and my pubes are currently OOC, I hope this won't prevent you from sharing with me. Haha, I need a Poptart, URGENT!

Op, perhaps you could re-title your post "urgent question about grooming down there for appointment". I think most women read your title thinking it was something a lot more serious than pubic hair. Of course that is something important to you but it isn't at the same level as medical questions or hard news about fetal conditions etc.
This... @avigailandcharlie way to take a more mature approach to telling her it wasn't urgent.... No need to be mean even if it's anonymous online and even if we are pregnant and hormonal.

This.

Why do you women behave like a bunch of middle school bullies? I titled it urgent in terms of needing a response quickly, not in terms if it being life or death---it was important to me to have the information quickly. You don't see me pissing and moaning every time I see a thread I disagree with. Read it and move on if you don't agree. And I was also assuming that saying it's a question about a 28 week appointment as opposed to say.."urgent question about preterm labor" was clear that it was not a scary situation. Communication gaps, particularly on the Internet and with complete strangers, are not unheard of. But that doesn't give anyone an excuse to behave like like an 11 year old.

And actually, grooming and how I present myself are important to me. I find it distasteful to present an ungroomed part of my body to someone. It is not vain, it is being considerate if another human being. When I was having my mc and bleeding on the table, I didn't let the nurse clean up my mess, even though that's her job. I felt bad about someone else having to clean up my mess and cleaned it myself. So....before you go making judgments about how vain a stranger is, perhaps you should wonder about how arrogant you are to assume you know everything.

Also thank you to the ladies that responded maturely and politely.

She in fact did not do an exam

but I think once I hit 30 weeks I will be visiting the salon every 2 weeks for a wax, just to be on the safe side.

@zombielove126 I am happy to share, regardless of pubic hair status/quantity.

OP, if you really care so much about how you present yourself, maybe you should have been a little more considerate about how you presented yourself to this board. Many people have had actual urgent issues come up, and while asking an internet board about any urgent question is not the smartest route to take, your calling your pubic hair issue urgent somehow takes away from other people's actual problems.

Did you even read my second post at all? I still stand behind it. We've had someone GIVE BIRTH at 28 weeks. The term "urgent" should not be thrown around lightly.

Also, I was a middle school teacher. I've seen/dealt with real life "middle school bullies". What happened here was tame compared to them.

Seriously, if it is actually THAT important to you, you wouldn't need to be asking the question the morning of your appointment. You would keep yourself presentable all the time. Like wearing clean underwear. You also wouldn't have taken the time to post and fight with the internet, you would have groomed yourself. I call shenanigans.

I'm sorry for your loss. But don't throw that in there like it entitles you to act like a brat. A lot of women have had losses and still manage to contribute to this board without being ridiculous.

After this thread I'm going to be put out if my pubes don't get a standing ovation at my next pelvic exam.

Then taking into consideration the bolded part, you should always be ready and "presentable" groom away, no need to ask a group of 11 year old women on the internet to tell you what your dr, who we have never met, is going to do or see. If it's so important to you do it regularly.

THIS. Why was this even a question then?

Also, I made sure to trim the quote tree because a well-groomed tree is important to me. I probably should have asked the board first though...

and I found this and all I could think was....OMG maybe another board will XP this!!!

NOW i get it. DAMN. If your fuzz patch is growing in strong enough for a wax every two weeks, I would freak the eff out if I was your doc. that's some crazy hair growth. But if you shaved just before your appointment wouldn't you get a 5 o'clock shadow within the hour?

still not urgent.

Missfunball · January 2014

OH and I really hope @mah0113 didn't take @FarmBoysWife as one of the polite responses.

Or maybe I do......

sloger · January 2014

Lurker from A14 here, just a question for OP:

In a couple months your dr is going to probably see you poop....and you're concerned about a little hair?

pepperedmoth · January 2014

I'm kinda offended by the implication that someone with "ungroomed" pubic hair is being "inconsiderate." You go ahead and trim or wax or shave or dye it green for all the fucks I give, but don't even start with suggesting to me that I'm "distasteful" because I choose differently.

Eff your patriarchal beauty standards. Eff them all to hell.

Hah. I probably should have saved my ire for a worthier target, but somehow her phrasing just set me off......

I want to post something really mean but I don't want to get flamed off the bump. But op.. There is a song called "I'll pray for you" and I'm saying that kind of prayer for you.

@Cmmo14 is right, you are going soft!

And because I didn't clean up my "mess" as I almost bled out due to an ectopic pregnancy I am not concerned about grooming and how I present myself? Wow, OP. For shame.
