Bikini wax while pregnant

blazinangel · December 2014

hey ladies, so I'm 7 weeks preggo and I usually get my bikini waxes monthly, but haven't done any since I got pregnant, is it safe? I'm scared cause of the pain and blood flow to the vag..

Wow. It's fine

blazinangel · December 2014

No need to be sarcastic really, I'm here for support

foodie12rn · December 2014

And you are?

blazinangel · December 2014

And I am what

It's my second day signing in here, and I gave enough support the last time I used this app, which was 4 years ago when I was pregnant with my DD, people weren't as mean back then. Whatever

I gave you support. I said it's fine.

ChristyM87 · December 2014

People on the Bump just get tired of other posters asking what seems like simple questions without even googling it first

Of course it is fine.

blazinangel · December 2014

Well don't call me a random person then, and I'm not asking your permission to hang out, as if you're best friends with 1 trillion users of this app

Why in the name of cheese and crackers (yum) would it not be okay?

Pregnancy: when your common sense goes away.

blazinangel · December 2014

Maybe the pain level is much higher and intolerable, I don't know, that's why I asked for other people's opinion

You're 2nd day? You gave an intro back at the beginning of the month, asked if you could take driving lessons while pregnant, and now this, and asking if you can have sex. Google is your friend, and so is your Doctor.

blazinangel · December 2014

Second time, excuse me, although I had an account for quite a long time, and yes I did post two questions today, that is correct

catahoulatte · December 2014

Ohhh this is the poster who asked if it was ok to drive.

That's right.

OP-get waxed. For future reference, this is a great community. Try a simple google search before you ask us every question that seems to pop into your head, and maybe if you'd like a bit of camaraderie, make a few comments in other posts so it doesn't seem like you're simply using this board as a Google alternative.

This would be sarcastic: "Heck no! They'll rip your blueberry right out of your vag!"

The answers PPs gave are not. You're welcome for the clarification. Now go get waxed.

DaBearsFansWife · December 2014

Who are you?

(El oh el)

I was just so disappointed when I read the OP...

I thought this was gonna be one of those fun threads I used to see all the time back when I was PG with DD where people talked about how the L&D nurses and your OBGYN will make fun of you if you DONT wax down there.

Which reminds me, I need to find a new waxer. hahaha.

ifwisheswerefishes · December 2014

The L&D nurses are gonna be laughing at me. I don't have TIME to shave down there. I trim but uh, that's about it. So I will be their comic relief (had a C/S last time so...)

pinktorridora · December 2014

I get my waxes every 6 weeks. They are totally safe during pregnancy. Just tell your esthetician that you are pregnant - they have you lie differently to get the "back". All I was told was that it may be more painful. But I have been getting them for a long time so my hair is quite thin, anyway. Also, my esthetician asked the front desk staff to book out extra time for my appointments. Just so she can go slower if need be.

Srsly and not all women like to shave or wax-- I like having pubic hair! I would be super offended if my nurses made fun of the fact that I'm a woman who has gone through puberty. Jesus

Argh, fucking quote fail.

I AGREE! Why do people get their panties in a wad over the stupidest shit? There is a chance I will poop while pushing. If they can't get over a little muff, they shouldn't be working.

MisSmartyPants · December 2014

I had the same concern, but didn't think much of it. My beautician told me she gets preggo ladies all the time for waxing.

ahsile10 · December 2014

Im not saying it happens for real. I have no clue and have never heard that with my own ears.
That was just the thing i remember over and over on TB a few years back. People were always asking if they should do that because they heard "rumors." I always thought it was hilarious but it was almost as annoying as the "am I showing" posts I have seen this time. They were always very entertaining threads though.

Dpatto93 · December 2014

I've been wondering the same thing. I'm a beauty student and we will be learning to wax in the new year. Students have to learn on students before we are allowed to even think about clients. So the person doing mine will be totaly unqualified and have had no experience at all. I am so scared!

I work with ob/gyns in surgery, and can assure you they/we don't get bothered by some hair. If we're doing surgery, we have to clip the hair so it's more of an "aw shit now we have to do this" not making fun of anyone! Most of the obs have said they prefer if it's trimmed because it simply makes it easier to do exams and such. Unless l&d is complete bunch of fuck wads, no one will make fun of you for body hair you're meant to have

Don't you start with the easy stuff, like brows that you can get mannequins for? That's what we did back when I was in beauty school.

Dpatto93 · December 2014

@kyrenora‌ we have been told it will be brows and armpits then bikini. We won't be practicing on manikins, that would of put my mind at ease haha! I've had so many bad treatments off my fellow class mates.

Once you get the techniques for facial waxes down, everything else become substantially easier. It's all about skin tension and correctly applying the wax.

Dpatto93 · December 2014

I feel slightly more at ease. I was hoping to get out of the other students practicing on me haha!

You know what's my biggest freaking pet peeve? When people call the Bump an app. IT'S NOT AN APP!!!!

cfmundy · December 2014

My last Brazilian clued me in to my pregnancy! I got about 2 strips in and couldn't handle the pain. The waxer was like "are you pregnant?" Then the light bulb went off! It hurt about 10x what I was used to, but I hear it's safe if you can handle the pain!
