I had my baby without shaving. Towards the end of my pregnancy I stopped keeping on top of that. The day I had my daughter I had gone to the dr for just a regular visit and they ended up sending me to the hospital right away to be induced so I didn't know is be having her that day. My dr also had told me around 7 months to stop shaving because it was too dangerous to try.

Im having a C section so they shave where my incisions is but im going to try to go in clean shaven but I get my hubby to do it while I lay on a towel on the bed with a Venus electric shaver and it works well. I don't feel all itchy and it would take a lot to cut me cause of the kind of razor that I use. I would recommend trying it.

I never shaved until after I had my first. I gave up shaving weeks ago this time. I don't mind hair down there. It ***** as it grows back because it's itchy and prickly, but once its back to normal I don't even notice. I have better things to care about!

Ugh I'm not pregnant anymore but can't shave around my csection incision. And if I shave anything else it looks hella ugly with this big patch around my incision. Such b.s.! Couldn't shave well during pregnancy and now I can but can't. Not winning

I struggled to get mine done the day of my dr appt lol at 32weeks. Omg! Its a pain in the bum! I.dont think ill take the razor to it next time....way to dangerous! Couldnt what the hell i was doing the whole time. I decided to just keep it as trim and net as i can without being dangerous or painful in my neck and if the dr really cares that much for it then he can definately stick it where the sun dont shine.

I was mostly successful this past week (35w) with a doc appointment in two days so it won't be a jungle... but dAmnit if I don't complain and curse it the whole time I'm struggling to do it. Promising I won't ever do it again until the baby comes....smh. But I end up trying anyway. Can't see the outcome but something is better thAn nothing : )

I've shaved there my whole pregnancy.but only one after my belly was in the day.  it wasn't too bad just a killer on my neck and I felt it took like an hour. but I only have 2 weeks left so I'm not shaving till after I have him. I'm sure doctors have seen much worse than a bunch of hair down there. lol.

The entire time through my pregnancy I've been able to manage but now I can see over my belly and I don't want to do a half way job so I think ima take some trimmers and a mirror and try and get it done

I'm trimming. Shaving with a razor is far too dangerous. And even if you don't get time to shave who cares? The doctors definitely won't lol
