Iām 37wks and had a wax because I donāt want to be exerting myself trying to sort it myself and also wanted to make sure thereās no open wounds so this gives plenty time to ensure there isnāt āŗļø (hopefully) š
I meant more like a trim rather than clean shave, havenāt been able to see properly to do that in a long time š š
Ah just use a beard trimmer then š¤£ over the toilet youāre all good šš»š
I find it amazing how people have the energy to shave!! Iām most likely going to go into labour with every single hair possiblešš
@Rosa I just feel more comfortable shaved! Nothing wrong with having hair!!
Yes mine is always trimmed. Just use a mirror or wing it š Iāve been making a conscious effort to shave my legs & everything else more leading up to birth just incase š
I always keep myself shaven, purely for myself as I just feel more confident. So, with all the people that are going to be down there, I wanted to make sure I was comfortable. I shaved yesterday, as I am being induced tomorrow, but I wonāt be doing it again. It isnāt recommended, especially if you were planning to do it when labour had already begun, as there is a small risk of infection with āopen woundsā (micro abrasions) and all the fluids! As I said, I did it purely because I feel a lot better about myself and people being down there, however I have made sure to give it a few days to āhealā a bit as to minimise the risk of any issues. Like you said, midwives do not care in the slightest, but if it is going to make you feel more confident and less vulnerable in the situation then go for it! I just personally wouldnāt want to risk doing it so close to actual birth, as small as the risks are, the last thing you want is to be stuck in hospital after birth with a preventable infection ā¤ļø
