Shaving private area

I'm only 19 weeks prego and already showing. I dont think I can shave my lady part any longer lol. The bump makes it hard to see down there and not only that but it gets me out of breath. I tried the mirror trick but its still challenging, same as laying in the bathtub. Lol

When did you ladies stop shaving down there? Or how are you still able to shave? Because I need some tips lol.

I have been "blind shaving" for weeks now. I have no idea what mess I've made of things down there lol! I have this fear of going into labor and not being all shaved though. Anyone else worry about that?? So I just guess at what I'm doing and hope for the best!

I'm a bigger girl and couldn't see much down there before I was prego, then I had last hair removal. I know it's a cheat, but I highly recommend it for those that can post pregnancy!! It's been so nice not having to worry about it!

I heard your private area becomes more sensitive while pregnant, if thats the case, i dont want wax down there. Plus for being my first time and prego, no thank you! I prefer shaving blindly lmao

I'm 4 mnts & have a good size belly. It's uncomfortable bt not that much more hard. I never needed to actually look, I could always feel. I jus squat. If it ever becomes uncomfortable my husband will do it. Small personal clipper's work well too.

OMG I was LITERALLY just telling someone today about how much of a struggle this is!! Lol I am only a little over 4.5 months and I am having difficulty too! I am trying to go in blind but it's just SO much work! I know if I ask my hubby to help me he will but it's SO scary! Haha. But honestly...I think it's getting in the way of MY sex drive! My hubby doesn't care at all but I do! It's definitely a lot easier to have sex without the hair if you're so used to doing it without it! It's driving me CRAZY! Not just sex, but random other times I notice it too and it's driving me nuts!

I was also thinking about getting a Brazilian but that's even scarier to me than allowing my hubby to give it a shot shaving for me! I've never gotten a Brazilian wax before so a part of me is afraid that it would be bad to try it for the first time while pregnant. What do you women think?

Mine said he would help me but i was scared he would cut me! I used my full length mirrorr i put in the bathtub with me sitting on the edge of tub. It was still hard to do I was out of breath n  it wasnt a perfect shave but it was definitely better than before lol! Don't know any other ways than what the others said!

I also shave blind. I shave all, so im just very careful and I use a squatting method. In the shower I'll squat down and shave everything. Just a coule more wks for me and so far its uncomfortable but manageable!

Its safe to get a brazilian but might be a lil more painful at least regrowth wont be as bad. Im 9 weeks had a brazilian a couple of weeks ago. Almost time to go again. Just keep doing it as i have to have a c section anyways. If iys not clean cut when u have a csection the nurses will have to shave you and thats not comfortable lol

I do it myself sitting on the toilet.  Just being careful and treating it like braille. If I touch some, I shave. I asked my husband to help me once and he laughed at me. He said, they should be used to hair by now. The Jerk! They may be but not me..

I'm almost 30 weeks and I still do it myself. I just sit on my knees and gently shave it. If it gets harder, I might ask my husband to do it, but for now I'm still trying to do as much as I can by myself
