Lol. Not something I thought about the 1st time. However, I ended up needing an emergency c-section and it was nice that I already shaved so the nurses didn't have to do it.
I usually present my vagina freshly showered? I do not modify any of my body hair in any way and have no decorative tattoos or piercings on or around my vagina sooooo I present to you: my vagina, exactly as nature intended!
I will continue to groom myself as long as I can, I tend to wax the front and shave the under. When I get too big I'll get a pro to do it. As far as hygiene, I tend to shower right before I leave the house. I'm a bit paranoid at not being perfectly clean, I suppose
In all honesty, I'm a nurse and have never once passed judgement on a patient because they hadn't shaved/groomed either their legs or nether regions. It doesn't even hit my radar. As long as it's clean down there, your doctor won't even notice!
With traffic directing lights, "this way baby to make your exit, you are cleared for landing". Also I will forever think of this post when I hop onto the table for my ob appointments.
Agree with just clean. By the end I definitely couldn't do any trimming and sure as hell wasn't let DH anywhere near my vag with a razor. I did try to maintain as long as I could though....by the end the only thing you will care about is getting that baby to earth safely! I was having a few contractions before they got intense so I was able to shower just before leaving for the hospital.
This reminds me of an embarrassing story I once read on my old BMB.
"I was due later that week for an appointment with the gynecologist when early one morning I received a phone call from his office. I had been rescheduled for 9:30 a.m. that morning. I had just packed everyone off to school and it was 8:45 already. The trip to his office usually took about 35 minutes so I didn't have any time to spare. As most women do, I'm sure, I like to take a little extra effort over hygiene when making such visits, but this time I wasn't going to be able to make the full effort. So I rushed upstairs, threw off my dressing gown, wet the washcloth and gave myself a wash in "that area" in front of the sink, taking extra care to make sure I was presentable. I threw the washcloth in the clothes basket, donned some clothes, hopped in the car, and raced to my appointment. I was in the waiting room only a few minutes when he called me in. Knowing the procedure, as I'm sure you all do, I hopped up on the table, looked over at the other side of the room and pretended I was in Hawaii or some other place a million miles away from there. I was a little surprised when he said "my...we have taken a little extra effort this morning, haven't we?" But I didn't respond. The appointment was over. I heaved a sigh of relief, and went home. The rest of the day went normally-some shopping, cleaning, and the evening meal, etc. At 8:30 that evening, my 14 year old daughter was getting ready to go to a school dance when she called down from the bathroom, "Mom, where's my washcloth?" I called back for her to get another from the cabinet. She called back, "No! I need the one that was here by the sink, it had all my glitter and sparkles in it!!"

Lol it's personal preference.... But if you must know. I Wash up before my appointment and I keep my hair trimmed short. The sides and parts next to my vagina shaved. It itches me to not shave so no matter how pregnant I am I get the job done. Not once in 30+ times with my previous pregnancys / exams Has my OB ever said anything......... Besides I might be a little weirded out if he was like WOW I see you really keep it nice!

This made me laugh, OP, but don't feel too bad because this question crossed my mind during my last pregnancy. I agree with others that it doesn't matter how much grooming you do as long as you are clean.
I'm a nurse and have seen countless peoples' genitals. I promise you medical personnel don't care whatsoever about whether you're waxed, shaved, or all natural. The only ones that stand out in my memory are people with clearly very poor personal hygiene and... strong odour.
Just do what you're comfortable with. After birth - whether you have a c-section or vaginal delivery (but moreso with a vaginal delivery I believe, although have never experienced one) things will be messy and painful and you will NOT be wanting to do any grooming, so if you physically can and you prefer to be trimmed or shaved/waxed, it's a good idea to do it shortly before you deliver.
As an esthetician that specializes in waxing, I can guarantee that no professional will care how your vagina looks. It's all about personal preference. That being said, I waxed prior to becoming pregnant and will continue throughout. It can be a little more painful dye to the extra blood flow but the teeny tiny amount of maintenance is worth it to me.
Re: Vagina Presentation
Really OP, as long as everything is clean, it's up to you.

Seriously though, I agree that as long as you maintain good hygiene, it should only matter to you.
Now please someone post an awesome GIF.
