Shaving

[sav93]

How does one shave there down stairs when there 28 weeks pregnant, help ! I want to avoid waxing lol

Veet. Much easier.

I went with a sort of hope for the best approach

When I do shave I used a mirror

Hoping for the best here and that I don't miss any patches!
It's either that or is have to ask dh which I think is one step too far

Ask your partner?

I just feel my way through it and hope I've done it 😂

I stand in front of the mirror so I can see. I can't bend over enough (I topple over, bad balance) to shave my legs though so dp has started doing that for me.

Hair removal cream or blind luck (literally)

Just try to feel as I go along really! I do get a bit worried I'll cut myself! I've used a sensitive hair removal cream which was easier but I think I actually missed more bits! Love a wax though, I know pregnancy makes us more sensitive but I'm going to brave it when I next have the money!

I feel your pain! I’m 25+6 and can no longer see down there so I’ve asked hubby to wax me. He is thrilled as it’ll be the most sexual contact he’s had in ages

I know you said you don't want to wax BUT have you ever tried hot wax? Much much less painful than strip wax and I've been having it done for years, it's been no more painful in pregnancy either.

(If you have a Nuffield health club near you they do a hot wax called Lycon, give it a go!)

I’d just go natural and not bother.

I get a wax. Funny thing is I don’t usually as I normally epilate but no way can I bend over enough to do that so I go and get professionally done. The wax the lady uses doesn’t require strips and it really isn’t that painful.

I cannot be bothered with that aspect of personal grooming right now! I'm 26 weeks with twins, the size of a woman full term with singleton, and haven't seen my lady garden in weeks!

In front of a mirror or veet

I was able to do it no problem until 38 weeks. Then my husband helped me

When I was pregnant I used a strategically placed mirror or I got hubby to do it.

I couldn't be bothered up until now, so at 17 weeks, I'm found all foamed up, akimbo on a towel on the bed with the other half brandishing a razor and a jug of hot water. Oh it's all so glam. Xx

You can use veet In ur vagina area ? And my husband doesn't feel comfortable he thinks he might nick me or cut me on accident, I guess a mirror is my option an trying my best lol

Hang in there Cosmogirl - late pregnancy with twins is tough but you can do it!

You ladies are bonkers, I can’t think of anything I wanted to do less when heavily pregnant than remove pubic hair, deal with itchy regrowth, ingrown hair etc.

Obviously if it’s important to you then you should do it, but just a friendly reminder that it’s perfectly fine to have pubes if you can’t manage it or can’t be bothered! :D

I just did it by feel. I don't really look when I'm doing it pre pregnancy either and never miss any bits.
I shaved with my first right up until the day he was delivered lol.

@SinkGirl I very much doubted I would do mine in pregnancy as I only bother to do it on occasion anyway when I get bored, but with pregnancy plus the warm weather I was getting uncomfortably sweaty and itchy!

@Triskaidekaphilia "when I get bored" 😂 haven't you got Netflix ? 🙂🙂xx

@JenMumma not in the shower

Unlike messing about with my head hair it doesn't take 2 years to grow back so no regrets 😂
