shaving before birth?

Any mommies choose to shave before you go into labor? Or let it grow out cause you can't see or say **** it. I would like to shave, or at least trim it up. I don't want to be a big fur ball down their. The only people thats going to be in the room is my husband and my mom. But they both seem my vagina. Just wondering if you mommies are shaving or not why choose too or not.

I shave about every week or two im 35w next ima start shaving more often so it grows back a little in the mean time. I think its nasty to have all that blood n stuff mixed n your hair down there.! Just my opinion.

My sister was having contractions for a week light ones and ones they got strong she took a full shower shaved everything legs pits everything before she even thought the hospital was an option.  But idk I've shaved so far I guess I wouldn't know till it becomes super difficult to do it whatever you are comfortable with .

I used to be neurotic about shaving. Now I don't give a flying flip. I can't see; I can't reach. I think I'll get hubby to go to town with clippers, but I won't shave.

I probably won't shave closer to my due date and just try to use the waxing strips at walgreens.

Ill be trimming. I reeeally dont want to be gross or too visual, but when youre swollen and bleeding huge clots its a lot less messier with a little bit of hair there. Bare skin it will just go everywhere. Also between the swelling and possible stitches and some burning and awkward walking, you just dont want to deal with itchiness. Or getting a follicle infected.

I haven't shaved in a long time and I actually read that shaving before giving birth can cause infection. So no, I will not be shaving.
