This is an absolutely ridiculous question but I am sure I'm not the only person who has pondered it: what's the etiquette for pubic hair in labour?
The logical side of me knows that on the day I won't give a flying fuck what I look like down there and the midwives / doctors etc certainly won't but the naïve vain side of me thinks that I want my vagina to look as presentable as possible whilst providing practical access.
God knows I haven't had a razor or wax near there in months and I'm not even sure I could reach at this stage in the game but I don't want to rock up to hospital looking like a cave woman earth mother either.
So what do you/I go for? a neat triangle and shaved undercarriage? Brazilian? Hollywood? a modest all over trim but otherwise as nature intended? Is a 19 year old student midwife gonna feel more awkward about me having a vagina like a modern porn star or a 1960s one?
Answers on a postcard please...and try not to judge me too harshly.
