Anyone waxing??

[kellym]

I have a planned c-section on May 14th. I guess they just use the same c-section scar from previous and was wondering if anyone is getting anywhere down there waxed. Boy it would be super nice to have it clean on the scar but I'm chicken to call around (plus you have to let it grow a couple of weeks) Ugh, I'm not a hairy person but any thoughts??

[montie2]

I am doing ok and so is the little one, thanks for asking.  I still can hardly put him down and just stare at his beautiful little face.  The only thing that I'm struggling with is the breastfeeding.  Jeez, what a pain.  Still not making enough milk to keep up with him which is frusrating me.  I'm hanging in there there though.  How many weeks are you now??

[pcarsey]

you know, to be honest, I'm really not worried about it this time round! The only one who would care would be me anyways. There is something bigger going to be happening then people looking saying "OMG look at that bush!!.. hehe.. I'm kidding.. I WILL trim and thin it out, but as far as doing the whole "oh my do I look fit enough to have everyone looking at my bloody cooch?".. NAH... ain't going to happen. besides.. I really don't want to chance razor burn and wanting to itch itch itch when I'm trying to heal up!... just one more annoyance to me. The doctor or nurse can shave what they need to when they need to... if they need to..lol

ok.. but, I heard with the brazillian what they don't get with the wax they tweeze off one by one... ahhh this sounds bad... very bad ahahah... also... well I'll ask from home haha

[jifnif]

definitely do a lot of preggo's.   Some women find it hard to get past the belly and see anything ( me included) and get the legs, bikini, belly and underarms done.  I thought it was weird when I first started doing it six years ago, but now.....I even push it!!

[jenandjon]

Didn't read the whole string but I've had a "full" brazillian where they just take it all off.  LOVED IT!!!!  If you can take tylenol or ibuprofen pop a couple about 1/2 before you go.  It is sooooo worth it.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DO THIS AT HOME...OUUUUCCCHHHH...see a professional.

Just my 2 cents worth.

[vsentz]

Thank you girlie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =)) hopefully this will be IT! hehe

How are you doing?? how's little one??? I bet you're still OOZING love left and right! =))

Post some new pics!!!!

[melimeli]

mmm duct tape.. great... sounds very painless (yea right) haha... well... who knows.. do you see many preggos?  

[jifnif]

sorry, didn't get a chance to get back on yesterday.  

I thnk it feels like you have duck tape on you and it gets ripped off very quickly.  fast and painless if it doesnt stick to your skin.  I use a pre-epilatory oil or talc.  You can wear panties.  some girls wear a bathing suit bottom and some wear the disposable panties.  I just had a brazilian and well, they hurt a bit more and you really can't wear anything.  Go with the modest wax for now and your hair should grow back in maybe 6 to 8 weeks.  :)

Oh, I'll probably do a quick trim with a razor and that's about it.  My mother in law and I are very close (she was in the room with DD).  This time, I'll probalby have my mother in law, aunt, sister and best friend.   It's such a cool experience I want to share.  I'd be happy if they stayed at the head of the bed though.

With DD, my DH so eloquently told me that I crapped myself.  Nice.

Funny how you don't even care at the time though.

In the childbirth classes, they told us NOT to shave or wax down there because there's a risk of infection with any nicks, or open pores and that if they need to do a c-section they will shave what they need to.  

[montie2]

I just had a c-section not even two weeks ago.  I have never had a wax so I just didn't worry about it.  The nurse said "I'm going to do ite you now" and I told her, "I was going to o it for you but I haven't seen down there in months".  She just started laughing and they barely shaving anything anyway.

Vsentz: Congrats on the new job!!!

[lhughes]

Yes, they use the same scar location (basically...if they can see it...) you can shave or wax or whatever, but on c-day they are going to check and shave whatever they feel needs to be removed.  With a fresh sharp safety razor no less, and yes, I got nicked twice the second time around!  So much for safety.

Looking back, I think a nice waxing would be better at the location of the c-section plus an inch or two above and below just for the tape and the bandaging.  Tape and hair....not a good combination ... OUCH!  And you know that no matter how far down you wax, shave, some hair is going to find its way under the tape.

[vsentz]

OHHHH!!!! that is too funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! a cheeseburguer crotch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!

girl, thanks for ruining McDonald's for me today.... lol!! just teasing! ;P

oh yeah, i don't wanna be all shy and sucking up pain... or ugliness... im sure im gonna scream, kick, grab dh's hairs and pull them..., curse, spread my legs, fart, poop.....
and really, knowing my mother... i KNOW she will either be yelling at me for 'loosing my maners' or passing out on the floor after the first scream or squirt of blood.....

hehehehe too funny....

[Tennesseegirl]

yea.. vsent.. was going to say... How can you make a cheeseburger crotch look good??
I already did try to shave, just to clean up some. and Im sure I made a bigger mess of myself!  Ill try again just for swimming weather. got to get alittle color on me. I got this winter white look going and hate it!
I dont think I will be to concerned about what others think about my hootchey, funny how you tend to loose your shyness at that time.. lol

[vsentz]

LOL!!!!!!!

a hip-to-hip!!!


i think, girl, no matter how prettied-up your hoohee is, by that time... it's gonna get ugly regardless!! you are so brave for having your MIL there!!! i told my mom she was NOT allowed in there, i wanna scream out of my lungs and i am sure i'd be more worried about her being cough on time before she hits the floor (passed out) than my baby crowning!
I wanna be comfortably in pain... ya know?? lol ;)

[Tennesseegirl]

omg.. your letting your mother in law in? wow... yea... I would go for the brizilian look then..

[AshleysMom]

I think I'm going to have a full audience for this baby, so I'm not sure I want to be sporting a Brazilian in front of my mother in law.  Then again, a hip to hip ain't all that pretty either!

[kellym]

V- Keep it, mine has lasted me this and my last pregnancy. I also have 3 sisters and you are GOD when you have a doppler :) Charge rentals!!! Post some new pic's girly!!

[vsentz]

yeah, i think MedHelp did kick the 'bug' out.... or at least stoped 'it' for now...

I feel bad for cpatow since her thread got all messed up for stupidity!

I can't believe we are this far girl!!! i was thinking about you the other day, remember when we were going nuts trying to buy or rent or find dopplers to listen to our little one's hearbeats?? lol... i still have the thing in my closet! lol... i should send it back! i don't even use it anymore! i feel her move constantly! thank  God... =)

[melimeli]

so what is the pain comparable too?

[kellym]

So is it embarassing? Can i keep my undies on and just pull them down for them to wax the scar? hee, hee?
V-Yes, 30 weeks on wednesday. I answered to cpaow's e-mail but I think I got lost in the rucous!

[jifnif]

i am an esthetician and i do waxing.  i do have women that are prego come in and get waxed.  some women do have more pain due to the hormones at the time.  get a good waxer and you should be fine.  :)

[vsentz]

OH!!!! ouch!!!!!!!!! I am a chicken sh*t when it comes to 'down there' man!!!
Girl, you are so brave to even think about it! lol.... i prefer my good ole' razor and some soap... or the one razor for girls (forgot the name) that comes with a soapy thing around the razor! that works wonders!

Girl, i can't believe you are so far! did you hit the big 3-0 mark yet????

[kindergal]

If you shave yourself, use a mustache trimmer instead of a regular razor....less irritation.
