to shave or not to shave....

[NewMom85]

Great question right?! Lol. I am being induced tomorrow and since being super pregnant I have not seen my vagina or been able to reach to properly "landscape". So I have just done what I can to keep everything under control. But I read a couple things about doctors preferring you you shave incase you rip for suturing and stuff. Any of you ladies that are not ftm what did you do (if you had enough time for a shower n prep work). If you say shave I might need to make the husband do it, and he will not be thrilled lol

Use an electrical razor that shaves it short but not compeletly, that way you won't have to worry about cuts and infections.

I shaved before I had my baby

I would try to use hair removal just to be sure you don't cut yourself and bacteria forms I'm sure everyone knows you can't see it so I wouldn't feel self conscious about it Lol good luck and congrats to you

Thanks ladies! Yeah I hate the fact that I haven't been able to shave just from fear of hurting myself from lack of sight lol joys of pregnancy! I just keep telling my husband I'm sorry. Haha

I used veet with my last pregnancy when I showered before I left the house (in labor) and I plan on doing the same thing!  It takes 7 min and if u can reach it u can veet it!

Don't shave they don't do it in hospitals anymore because small cuts hold bacteria that could potentially harm baby.  They thought at one time that the hair held bacteria but have since discovered the tiny cuts from shaving had more bacteria. I ripped once and my Dr had no problem sewing it up.

My doc told me to stop shaving at 37wks because it increases your risk for infection, I still did though.

I'm getting induced Tuesday and I shaved tonight lol I don't like hair down there in the first place..I was debating on it though because I was told induction leads to a csection so I wasn't going to shave but I decided to.. And if you sit in front of a mirror its so much easier to shave that's what I do most of the time

Just make sure he doesnt cut you if he does :)

When I was pregnant with my first I didn't shave at all either I couldn't even see my feet haha but the day before I somehow did it and it felt great! Lol made me feel a lot cleaner as I was giving birth even tho that's very messy
