ftm question (waxed or trimmed??)

[nat400]

im wondering when you go into labor, do you need to go in nice and wax/shaved or is nice and trimmed ok?

[mrs_farris]

You don't have to do anything.  If you prefer a trimmed or waxed appearance,  it is best to do it a few days before labor to reduce the risk of infection.

lol my doctor told me only younger women are concerned with it. I was really embarrassed when I had my first cuz I hadn't shaved or anything in forever but they didn't care at all.

I had my shaved before i went in. It doesnt matter. If they need to cut you they will trim it themselves

If you need to be shaved the nurses will do it for you so don't panic too much. I haven't been able to see for weeks, or reach properly for that matter. I plan on getting a wax though. I figure if I get a wax in the next few weeks I will be ok to get one right before my due date

It depends on your doctor, just ask him what should you do. I know at my hospital there are signs there saying that while pregnant your not spose to shave because it can cause an infection but like I said it all depends on your doctor he/she could be okay with which ever

I've never heard it. I was with my first but usually am. I know with csection you have to be below the bikini line.
