Shave wax or wait

My belly has been super hairy since I got pregnant and I am a bit enbarrased by it. I'm 34 weeks now and have been debating on doing something about it. I'm scared that it I shave it wax it will come back worse. Does this go away after you have the baby? What do you ladies do about it?

When you wax the hair your ripping the hair from it's follicle. It will grow back finer and lighter and take longer. If you shave it you will probably have stuble back within a day our two. If you've only started growing hair there during pregnancy it will go away once baby is born
