Is it safe to have your 'bits' waxed during pregnancy? /is there a recommended time to start getting waxed again?

Yes, it's safe and no, just whenever you feel ready!

It's fine. Some people say it hurts a bit more and I would also say leave it after 37 weeks as it's a (very small) infection risk.

Perfectly safe but may hurt more so not the time for your first Brazilian wax!

What daisy said. Pregnancy hormones make it more sensitive and therefore painful.

Current best practice is not to remove pubic hair before birth (including c-sections) as it introduces micro tears and abrasions where bacteria can hide, increasing infection risk.
