Shaving???

This is probably the most embarrasing post I have ever posted but I was wondering how many women shave "down there" while they are pregnant. I am unable to see my "down there" now, which makes it hard to shave. I know there are ways such as using a mirror or getting the hubby to help :) but it is still such a hassle. I dont want to be miss bush women when I go into labor but it seems I am going to have to be...Do most women shave or is it best to just let it go!!!?
Thanks

I am 35 weeks and it had been about 2 months since I last trimmed. I hate having too much! lol. I got a mirror and somehow managed to do it. It wasn't perfect, but better than nothing. I think having hubby help wouldn't be such a bad idea. =) I want it trimmed and ready for when I go into labor, I can't imagine letting it go, just my opinion! =)

I'm not pregnant...but what about Nair for private areas?  I know they make a brand called Veet designed for that.....All you would have to do is rub it on like lotion, then take a shower and it would all come off???  Just a thought!

I used to just lift my belly up and over with my first pregnancy. haha But with my second one I had to just keep it trimmed. That belly was too big I couldnt see my own feet! And yeah the "feeling" around was about all I could do to know what the heck I was doing! lol

I usually "trim"...I don't go all out bare but it does get more difficult when you can't see what you're doing.  I eventually get to a point where I just do the best I can by "feeling" and other than that I don't care.  So what if It's a rain forest when I go into labor...I seriously doubt they're gonna be focused on my bush with everything else going on.

waxing is best!  They can see it all and get it all!

I have been having a hard time as well, but i still try.   i hate the way it feels with hair down there.  I basically just wing it and hope i got it all, i might have to invest in a little mirror to help soon though
