I'm 34 wks and need to do something to sort out 'down there'. Am also thinking it'll be easier to keep clean and healing after birth in that way too (sorry if tmi!)
The thing is, shaving's no longer really an option as I can't see past my bump! Are the other 2 ok at this stage?

Definitely go and get a professional wax! Doing waxing/epilating yourself is hard enough when not pregnant, let alone when sensitive skin due to hormones and a bump in the way.

A professional wax means they can get the bits you can't reach, and you can ask them to do it in tiny strips so not as painful! Xxx

Armi but it's possible to be concerned about squeezing a baby out and think about waxing too! It's Not one or the other (apart from in the delivery room but presumably the wax has been done by then!). Personal choice.
