Hair removal during pregnancy

[Jennifer48]

Hello, I wonder about hair removal during pregnancy, particularly around the pubic area and on my belly (which had hairs even before pregnancy). For info, I'm 4 months pregnant.
I found cold wax straps by Nair (the French version of the brand Veet) for pubic and under-arm area, but I'm a bit concerned by the ricin seed oil (castor oil) in the attached ingredients list. Although I'm not slapping it on my belly in great quantities, I have read that this shouldn't be used during pregnancy: https://www.today.com/health/skin-beauty/castor-oil-in-belly-button-rcna188789

Otherwise, could I use a razor on my belly hairs?
Am confused!

Thank you very much.

I shaved x

Im 30 weeks pregnant and managing to shave my belly, cant say much about downstairs because i cant even see my toes at this stage🤣

28 weeks pregnant and went to a salon for a wax today. Was also waxed every six weeks during first pregnancy. Legs, bikini etc. It’s more painful when pregnant but the wax won’t be on you long enough for anything to be absorbed. The trickiest part was turning over for the backs of my legs!

My waxing lady also recommended not removing the hair on my tummy (had a really hairy tummy with baby 1) as it can make it grow back thicker after baby is here (shaved or waxed) and after pregnancy the tummy hair will probably thin out. She was right.

I went to the salon for waxing all the way through both pregnancies right up to a few weeks shy of my due date (with DC1, DC2 came unexpectedly early - not wax related!). It didn’t actually occur to me that it would be an issue.

Thank you all. As I said above, I've had hairs on my belly since adolescence and almost always got them waxed (occasionally used depilatory cream, which I certainly will not use this time).
I'm still mulling over what to do. Thanks again.
