Hi all

Due to SPD i have just discovered I am unable to shave my legs. Bit of a mare! So, Im thinking Im going to have to go and get them waxed as I cant go that long without shaving (Im 28 weeks).

Has anyone had theres done? How much more painful was it? Its years since I had mine done as I usually just shave.

Had mine done today. Also 28 weeks and not painful at all. The lady waxing me said she had had other comments from pregnant ladies saying it was less painful in pregnancy although, everyone is different!

I've continued waxing and my legs are no where near as sore as usual - the back of my legs usually sting but they've been fine. Bikini line had been a bit more sensitive though Hmm

I had my legs waxed at around 28 weeks and the hair didn't grow back until after DS was born Smile

Had mine done 2 days ago at 27+5. Pain was about the same as usual!

I found it hurt more than usual! I was only 6 and 19 weeks though so perhaps it gets better later on.... It will hurt more as you've been shaving though anyway.
