Should I shave?

So I'm due in 2 days and just wondering if I should shave 'down there' before I  go into labor, or if it matters if i do or not? I just don't know...

Personally, i would.
Because you bleed so much, the first week especially, it will help you to keep the area clean and dry.
I'm so glad I cleaned up down there a few days before labour started!

I have maintained my entire pregnancy thus far. I cant handle the bush. But I am super little for being 39 weeks so its not too hard to reach

They rarely make you you shave anymore.  It's pretty old school. It also increases the chance of infection. I get my bikini line by feel and call it good.

If it's too bushy
The doctors/nurses may shave you with a special razor. They don't want you to use a razor because you can cut yourself and risks infection. I personally use hair sensitive with cocoa butter

Yeah, I can't see down there either, but I could always use a mirror. Lol

I've been wondering  the same. I can't really see and it's even hard to shave my legs.
