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 used to sit on the edge of the tub - i can't stand having hair down there - was smooth as a babys bottom the day I delivered!

have you tried crouching over the toilet like i do i used to do it in the shower but ive found that it is easy to do it over the toilet and use a mirror and there is no mess to clean up afterwards

I have the same problem.  I did keep mine pretty smooth, but now that it impossible.  I thought I had done a good job on it the other day only to get out of the shower and look in the mirror.  It looked like a weed eater was turned loose on it!  Bare spots here.  Clumps of hair there.  I am just trying to get what I can and hope for the best.  I have told my husband that the day is coming when he will have to help me out.  I wish that I had some better advice but I am looking for a solution myself.

i'm not pregnant but my doctor has always told me that it's very healthy to leave some hair down there. she said that it helps fight off bacteria which in turn, prevents infections. i don't think i could live comfortably knowing that i have a "bush"...lol. but i wouldn't shave it all off. maybe just keep it trimmed. but that's me. everyone is different!!
