I dont recall this being a huge issue when I had DS1 (age 12) or DS2 (age 10). Really struggling to tidy up my nether regions and currently housing something that looks like a dead cat.

In the grand scheme of things in life I don't suppose this is a life or death situation, but really don't fancy going in to give birth in the state I am at the moment.

I didn't bother- not sure it occurred to me with either of mine. I let the midwife get on with it, particularly for cs no 2 - shaving/ veering a CS scar would not have been something I'd have felt brave enough to do (still not 7 plus year later), but anyway, I don't remember thinking about it

I'm almost 34 weeks and last night I got my darling to clipper my treasure trail!!! Keeps it short and trim but avoids the jaggy stubble growth... think I will get him just to do that til post-birth when I'm able to shave /wax again... :-D

step that post made me cringe. I don't wax for the medical profession, I do it because I feel cleaner and fresher afterwards. This is obviously really important after the birth, I was hairy last time and felt disgusting.

I think I'll go for daily exfoliation, I've got the gloves already.

Hi when I don't just wax for the doctors either, just the way I've been conditioned I suppose that hair is disgusting etc.

But tbh DH has been asking me for a while to let things be a bit more natural.

I do try to avoid in grown hairs, but sometimes they happen. I never knew they could become abscesses.

Personally speaking once the birth is over and abscess completely gone, I'm never waxing again.

My bikini days are already over!

step only just read your reply. My bikini days are over Grin I know what you mean.

I also know what you mean about being conditioned into not liking hair. I didn't do a thing to mine till I was about 25, not even trim it. Then I just got really used to having no hair, it feels odd to have hair now but it didn't bother me one little bit till I started waxing.
