This is a weird one but for some reason this entered my mind today.... Should you shave down there before birth? Or will it be an awful idea because it will get all irritated? I usually shave it all, obviously gotten a lot harder since we are just 7 weeks away... Let it grow or keep it trimmed?
My hospital won't let you deliver unless you've had a full brazilian wax. They'll do it there if they must, but it's an extra $300 on the overall hospital bill.
I sure wouldn't want to deal with the itchiness of hair growing back while on top of recovery from delivery. Maybe trim so it's easier to keep clean, but hair has a purpose!
I really couldn't reach down there by the time I was ready to deliver. I had to have a couple stitches and my dr and nurses never cared a bit. I think irritated skin or bumps would be so annoying
Trim! I've been having a hard time shaving my legs, let alone anything else. My dr always says 'I've seen it all' so I'm not worried about a little hair.

Wow. My hospital charges almost 2000 for the wax. I really hope I can get the epidural before they do it...

They totally should offer you pain relief before hand, since they require you to be waxed. I mean, seriously, how unreasonable would it be for them to not!
I bought a special trimmer and have been growing my pubic hair this entire pregnancy so that I can surprise my doctor, midwife, and hospital staff with a custom pubic hair design. The trimmer I bought is precision, so I should have no trouble shaving my masterpiece into my pubic hair right before my c-section.
I haven't decided between the baby Jesus, a stork, or a personalized portrait rendition of my O.B. I think he would find that thoughtful and appreciate my gesture, but he's not the most attractive man, so I'm not sure I want his face that close to my vagina until it all grows back out.
I'm leaning toward the stork.
What a great idea! Perhaps I should try this. I'm thinking a portrait of my MIL. I'm sure DH would appreciate it.
If you choose a design, make sure it is as soothing as possible, or your child will come out startled. My suggestions are:
Turtles (nobody stresses about turtles) A pond Kittens (not Grumpycat) A mountain vista (this also helps them associate with breasts) Miniature ponies Butterflies

I'm a sucker for the classics... How about Gene Simmons complete with tongue?
I think I am going to try to braid it. Keep it all out of the way without the pain of waxing. And afterwards I'll just cut off the dirty braids and start over.
Also, for the record, turtles kind of do freak me out. Especially the giant one at the zoo that's like 93 years old but never walks anywhere. Have you really just been sitting around eating leaves for 93 years bro? Srsly?!
I think you've just unlocked the key to longevity.

Mothers in law look stunning in pube.
You might also want to consider maybe a Bob Ross picture or even a portrait of him. After all there are no mistakes, only happy accidents.
