Alright.. So personal grooming!?

I am 33 weeks today, I am still doing personal grooming, even with my baby bump.. However, it's becoming sooo uncomfortable to shave legs and lady parts.. Asked my husband if he would but feel kinda weird about it.. So yeah, just curious how many of you are going au natural or how many are keeping trim and clean?

I some how manage to put my leg up on the bathroom sink and shave my legs like that, then I was using a mirror for my bikini area, but now that isn't even helping, my boyfriend actually enjoys helping me so I just lay back and let him do it lol

I shave once a week now! After i shower, i put a plug in the tug and sit down to shave. I am affraid of loosing my balance if i try to stand up with this monster of a bump. I shave my lady parts too. Easier sitting down. I have been shaving my "girl" since i was 15, so i know her pretty well to be able to do it blind. I am now 41 and 33 weeks

Id luv 2 go au naturel but i find it really uncomfortable & irritating. Plus im rather hairy so dnt feel i could get away wif it discreatly. I usually go get waxed every 4 weeks but last few weeks iv not bn well enuf so decided 2 shave b4 going 4 an internal. I done such a terrible job even wif a mirror that the dr commented on how id hv bn better just leaving it rather than shaving random bits. Im now covered in ingrown hairs & stubble & wif labour approaching not really sure wot im gonna do bout it. Hubby shaved my legs but hes 2 scared 2 do my bikini. Might try imac or a nono next x

My legs are still managable (i'm 35w almost), i shave up to my knees. Not very neatly tho and it is uncomfy. Yesterday i shaved my private parts, or better said, the surrounding parts, but not to close to the sensitive areas since i do it blind. It probably doesn't look great, but it feels better. The rest of the hair i used scissors on, carefully. Luckily my husband loves me still even if i look like a cave woman lol, so if it gets to much trouble i just leave it jungle style.

I did laser treatments before i got pregnant so my hair doesnt grow as fast and as thick. Ive only shaved twice in pregnancy.  If you cant shave theyll do it at hospital for u if its necessary.  But if its too embarrasing for u, u might want to nair it.

I gave up shaving my legs a while ago. Thank God for blonde leg hair! But I must be lucky because my husband does help me with my ladybugs. He gets what I can't anymore. I refuse to go all natural it's uncomfortable for me :-)

I use a small mirror to see, and like a personal electric shaver. It's easy and fast

My husband won't help me shave the lady parts either so I do my best on my own. I have a stand up shower so I use the lowest shelf to hike one leg on and use a shower mirror for the areas I can't really see because of my belly.

I trim it up with scissors but no way im going down there with a razor when I can't see lol. I gave up on my legs a long time ago. Perks of being ginger is that leg hair isnt really noticeable hah.
