Safe to wax?

Hi ladies! Has anyone experienced problems waxing down there while pregnant? Any suggestions of good quality "do it yourself" kits? Thanks! :)

Very brave souls for waxing your vagina... It makes me cringe just thinking about it... Maybe my husband will shave me when I get that far along lol

18 weeks along FTM. I just returned to waxing a week ago after a five year break. I thought it would be good to get a routine established before I get too far along. I'm not going to lie, it was a lot more painful than I remember, but I'm hoping it gets easier. My esthetician said it was safe for pregnancy, but that most pregnant women experience more pain because of the extra hormones we are producing. I also had an allergic reaction which she recommended benadryl for prior to my appointment next time.... and following. Overall I still think it was worth it and will return at least one more time and hope for more positive results. I had a Brazilian done :)

Where I live there are some groupon specials going for waxing. If your looking yo save some $$. Check out the salon before you purchase the groupon, but I've never had any issues w groupon deals. My girlfriend who waxes said the hard wax is best, it won't pull the skin-barely hurts. I wish my friend didn't live across the country.
