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