I know I sound bonkers but when it comes to giving birth what sort of state should my lady garden be in?! Don't want to look like I don't pay it any attention like some hairy earth mama but equally don't want to give it full strim and look like I'm prepubescent!!!!

I've asked my friends but basically we all end up screaming laughing and not really getting a straight answer!

what's wrong with paying it no attention?
er, it's not a beauty contest you know sunny! Personally I didn't bother, but my ladygarden did get some attention from midwives during labour as I had to have caesareans...

tbh if you're giving birth I'm not sure there's anything to look like other than a mama!

But seriously - postnatal stubble? do you want to even go there? I suggest minor trim of length to prevent yeti look but no edge-neatening.

ok well whn you're so big that you can't even see what pants you're wearing the chances of trimming your ladygarden is pretty much nil.
Midwives see them every single day. Many of them. Please don't worry. I think the majority of women are totaly au natural when it comes to labour, unless they get someone to trim it for them

How about a compromise...
trim around the edges to avoid pant moustache/beard!

i paid mine no attetion whatsoever.no midwife is going to be looking at your pubic hair thinking'what aslattern-her pubes aren't trimmed into a flower shape' or whatever.
seriously.forge abou tit!
I couldn't be bothered with it at all during pg TBH but towards the end I think DH trimmed it with clippers just for hygiene purposes - ie easier to clean the gunk out of. Sorry for TMI. Was not bothered for vanity at all.
