Do you get bikini waxes for vacation?

I have a trip to California planned later this summer - I will be big, and it will be hot and there will be pools and a beach day. I'm not worried about my body in a swimsuit, but I am worried about my hairy bikini line! Do you guys get waxes when you're preggo?!

Your skin is more sensitive because of all the extra blood and pressure in your vessels down there. It'll hurt more than if you weren't pregnant, but as long as you know what to expect, there's nothing wrong with getting waxed. If this is your first wax ever, I wouldn't recommend this as the time to do it. You might try a depilatory cream like Nair instead. Don't use a razor. Nicks and cuts could lead to infection and it's hard enough to reach down there.
