Brazilian Wax- safe at 1st trimester?

in June 2016 Moms
I have gotten Brazilian wax fairly regularly before, but unfortunately its been a good 4 months since my last, is it safe to get one at 8 weeks? or should I wait until I am at 12 weeks?

Part of me just wants to go while I feel fine and not feel cumbersome, Thinking if I get one now, I will be more regular at every 4 weeks, so each time will be less painful.

I just know since I haven't gone in 4 months, this one will be painful 

sigh, such problems lol

    It should be completely safe!  It might be more painful during the first trimester (probably during your whole pregancy)!

    On a side note: I remember with DD my OB actually told me no shaving/waxing the last few weeks--I don't remember her reasoning though--you might want to ask your OB/midwife if there is a cut off when that would be!

    I'm an esthetician and do these for a living. It is 100% safe! Just let them know you are expecting cause sometimes they use creams after they may not be ok. They could use aloe instead. You may be a little more sensitive down there but it's not that bad. It gets harder, later, close to the third tri because there's a lot of pressure down there and you can't lay flat on your back so you'll have to do it on your side.

    It doesn't get much better than that.  I kept up my waxing thoughout my last pregnancy.  Due to sensitivity, I wimped out and settled for bikini waxes.   I just didn't feel like going through all the motions.

    Thanks everyone.  I bit the bullet and just came back from a bikini wax.  I feel great. so fresh and clean lol

    Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I was a bit sensitive to the heat, but overall it went well.

    Made my appt for 4 weeks, I will keep it up routinely so as I get farther along, each session will be light hair and no deep roots.

    Yes definitely safe, I got them right up to 36 weeks with my first pregnancy! Make sure to go somewhere where they know how to prop you up properly on pillows etc if you're going in third trimester haha!

    @augbride87 Re: the no waxing/shaving last few weeks of pregnancy: I was talking to a woman once who said she got a Brazilian close to her due date and due to all the blood circulating in that area she said she bled like crazy. (Not dangerous, but just kind of gross and unexpected.) Maybe this is why your doc recommended against it?

    I am sure it had something to do with that.  It was so long ago that I completely forget the reasoning behind it.  Things also could have changed (and probably have changed) in the last 6 1/2 years :)
