Waxing in pregnancy

Hi ladies,
Sorry to ask such a question, but what are the rules (if any) around waxing in pregnancy? I have only ever had my eye brows waxed however at nearly 28 weeks I have just tried to shave my legs etc and have found it nearly impossible due to discomfort of my belly getting in the way. I prefer not to just leave it because when I can't keep myself 'maintained' for want of a better word, it makes me feel gross and if any opportunity comes about to be intimate with my OH I literally can't stand him going near me cause I just feel so gross 😩. Any advice would be great.

I carried on being waxed monthly during my pregnancy. Its fine

You're not joking about shaving being hard work. I have to sit down in the shower and it takes me around half an hour to shave my legs now due to my big bump getting in the way. It's been like this for a while and I'm now 34 weeks.
I am tempted to get a Brazilian wax on my lady bits now tho as I can't see jack shit down there anymore.
Intimacy is last thing on my mind in this pregnancy! 😂 Ain't nobody got time for that!

The only rule is "do it !"

Just to warn you, waxing is mega painful during pregnancy!!
Iv had my legs and bikini waxed lots of times but the pain getting them done whilst pregnant was awful I kept having to tell her to stop and take a break 🙈 god help me during labour lol!

Waxing is fine. I really didn't find it that painful but we're all different!

I had a Californian was recently (between Brazilian and Hollywood) and it was fine. I’m really early on though but plan to keep having that and maybe my legs as I get further along. I did read it can be more painful in pregnancy but I already found it really painful because I’d been leaving it too long. Key is to have it every 4 weeks so the hair isn’t too long!
