Ouch! TMI

[Cupcake11]

I'll just say one thing - proceed with caution when having a trim down there when you bump's too big to see what you're doing

I second that!

Oh dear. I was planning on facing that hurdle tonight

I've been putting it off.
Goodness knows what's happening down there....

Oh the shame I got DH to give me a trim.
That was after I tried and failed and thought I was going to bleed to death .
He even shaved my legs and cut my toe nails, ain't pregnancy glamorous .

I tried it last night. Can't see a bloody thing, it was about twenty minutes of contorting myself into unnatural positions and huffing and puffing before I gave up!

Down where? I'd forgotten it even existed, tbh...

Oh dear... this is why i take myself off for a wax every 6 weeks.

Although according to MN I am just trying to model myself on a porn star or pre-pubescent girl

I had to warn my DH about mine as i couldnt see what i was doing
•Wink: [

Glad it's not just me! I do get waxed too but just a little tidy up - won't put myself through anything more at the moment!

I attempted it at about 32 weeks but didnt bother after that. It was too much effort and i knew i wouldnt care when in labour as its never going to look good with a head coming out of it. I was right....as soon as i got the the birthing unit and was in a room, i striped naked and could have had anyone in there staring at my untidy downstairs and it wouldnt have bothered me at all. I even had surgery for a tear and the surgeon didnt seem bothered with his face stuck in between my legs.
Only bother if it really matters to you and dont injure yourself!

I haven't been brave enough to wax before and I don think pregnancy is the best time to start. Especially as another pregnant lady I know had a wax before Xmas with disasterous results, bruising and all sorts!

I would prefer to be tidy at the time of birth to combat any "matting" problems if you get what I mean. Urgh.

I got my Dh to do mine with my first pregnancy as I had a c-section planned, I remember lying on the living room floor, him comfortable nestled between my legs,with a bikini shaver,his tongue stuck to the side while he concentrated! Bearing in mind I could not see what he had done. We went for my c-section the next day, they explained they was going to shave me a bit, the gentleman who was doing it said"looks like someone's been here before me, it's like a piece of art work down here! " god know what he did but it impressed them all lol x

I managed to tackle my bits in 1st 2 pregnancies without any trouble, but am now 34 weeks and trimming blind, so to speak. ..

I had this last night lol had to hold a mirror to see how embarrassing lol.

Felt like a seal rolling around in the bath trying to trim,

Word of advice just don't leave it weeks like I did hahaha more trimming, I need to keep on top of it.

This post has just made my day as I got out the bath crying lol

I've just got out the bath and I survived

Before getting in the bath I stood there with a pair of scissors in my hands with the intention of starting with a quick trim but I couldn't bring myself to do it!! I knew I'd end up cutting one of my labia off or something I decided instead to just get in the bath with a razor, do it blind and hope for the best!! It certainly feels tidier down there but I couldn't bring myself to look in the mirror, I'd rather live in ignorance if it actually looks ridiculous

Dh had to give me a trim then I made it to my waxist and it was so sensitive! May have to make do till after the birth sigh.

Oh he had to use his clippers, the shame....

Bits of me have actually just crawled back inside at the mere thought of this!!!

I managed to do it. I had to space it out over two nights though! I just need to keep on top of it now so it doesn't get out of control before d day.

I balanced a mirror on the toilet and did a slight backbend to get there .... Can you use hair removal cream ?!?!?

Update: I was informed by a friend last night of a bikini trimmer. Impossible to cut yourself and cuts to the correct length without any danger. Hurray! Anyone tried one?
