Shaving in pregnancy ??

I’m 25w and although it’s hard to shave, my partner helps me. I’ve recently got very sore from shaving down there, it hurts when I sit down . So uncomfy .. sudocrem has been a saviour. Is there any tips or things to help? Or just forget it all together. Thank you

A mirror helps. But honestly I'd just leave it. It's winter and it's cold Confused

Leave it and go retro!!!
Better than a fanny covered in sudo Grin

Just leave it! I've got myself in a right pickle just trying to reach, let alone the uncomfort afterwards. You can always try with a mirror if you want a trim but for me it's not worth the effort. I haven't shaved my legs since week 25 and i'm 39+2 now, just embracing that hairy life (and mad jealous of all the women who's hair stops growing during pregnancy!)

I sacked a load of hair removal cream in and took the lot off near the end. You don't even need to see properly for that

I'm 31 weeks and shaved my legs last Sunday and I actually think that's the last time I'm shaving before birth!! Can't even remember the last time I shaved down below, it's so much of an effort that I have given up until birth!

37weeks now and tbh not bothered, you have a million other aches and pains going on dont add to it, just leave it. Your partner wont care, your midwife wont care and your wee babby wont care!

If it's that important go to a salon and get waxed 🤷🏼‍♀️ i wouldn't dream of asking my husband to help down there... but each to their own!

I'm 31 weeks and haven't seen my bits for a few week. I've been trying to shave myself once a week ish so I don't grow a Bush but I'm getting a wax before my induction
