bush or no bush

Just wondering if any one is keeping it trimmed down there or just letting it grow
I know a girl who continued to try to groom through her pregnancy but just ended up with patches her husband would giggle at
and someone else who's husband actually shaved for her when she couldn't see it anymore? Haha I feel its a legitimate concern my belly will be growing all summer I want to go swimming without a peekaboo jungle weaving its way out of my swim suit :D

My husband shaves mine and we laugh about it. He is so focused while he's doing it and does a great job. Although half the time when he does it leads to things...lol But he always shaves me even when I'm not pregnant. I'm 26 weeks 1 day and I can't see anything down there.

I'm 19 weeks, & a regular waxer (I also work at a waxing spa) & we have preggo ladies come in almost daily! You gotta start as early as possible in your pregnancy & keep it up every 3- 4 weeks, for the least amount of pain. Also, make sure where you go they KNOW B4 HAND that you're pregnant & possibly ask for extra time & an experienced waxer. The type of wax used is important too-DO NOT get the strip wax, go to a spa that uses a hard wax, it's not as hot or painful. It's SO worth not having to shave or be shaven by anyone. Consistancy is key.

I don't really care either way however my boyfriend likes me shaved. I told him if that's what he wants he's got to do it. So he does and a pretty good job of it he does too :-)

You all are soo brave letting your husband shave it for you.. I would be terrified to let my boyfriend near my cooch with a sharp object...I've seen what his face looks like after he shaves and I sure don't want my vajayjay looking like that. Lol

Women aren't shaved in hospitals anymore... at least not in this state. I gave up trimming when I couldn't see it anymore, and am not the slightest bit interested in shaving. I'd prefer my labia doesn't look like an 8-year-old's.

I still shave my legs in the shower and then I get out and use my big mirror to shave down there and use the touch method haha. I have to be reallllly careful,  I had surgery at 20 weeks and it left me with an almost 10 inch vertical scar from above my bellybutton to down there and now part of my scar has broke open, so I have to be sure I don't nick it or anything.

And this is embarassing but my Kaiser Permanente newsletter states to stop shaving a few weeks before my due date because they worry about infection if they end up having to do a c section! I am NOT going to Stop Shaving lmfao! Most I would do is not shave the last few days before it and itll have some small stubble

Veet is so not safe during pregnancy. Its chemicals are way too harsh and enters the body through pores. Its listed with household cleaners that pregnant woman should avoid direct contact with. :(

I have 29 days left and I still shave.. hubby said in beginning of pregnancy dont worry babe ill shave u when u cant see or reach anymore lol... well I cant see but I am still doing it on my own because I do it based of touch and I never miss lol!!! Us women should be proud of ourselves to be able to accomplish that! I sit on edge for top part of legs and in the tub for bottom part of legs.

I use veet!!! It's super easy and super fast I put it all over legs vag armpits arms butt cheeks and we're ever else I can think of wait 6 min and get in the hot shower and wipe off all the hair! Pregnant or not this is my go to hair removal!  But make sure it's the sensitive one! I'm getting a special bottle for when I'm in labor my shower before I leave I will be veeting it up! And it makes the hair grow back slower so I only use it like every 2 weeks!

To all the girls talking about getting waxed once you can't anymore.... Take my advice and spear yourself an enormous amount of pain. ESPECIALLY if you've never had that area waxed before. During pregnancy that area is 10xs more sensitive then normal, all the pressure and blood flow makes you feel every little thing a lot more intensly... I didn't discover this u til during my wax when I was CRYING! Once she told me that, I was like, screw this. And kindly paid her for her work and walked out half way done lol it honestly was the worst pain of my life. Some of you may say "" well I'm going to be pushing a baby out if there so I better get use to it" I said the same thing. When I'm pushing a human out my vag I know I'll get the reward of keeping this little.tiny human. Reward for waxing my vag off, not a thing. Not a single thing. DO NOT DO IT!
