Shaving after birth

How long should I wait after I give birth to shave my vagina? I had my baby nine days ago, and I'm still nervous to even look down there.

I had an emergency c section. I waited till I was healed. Give yourself time to heal you don't want to risk an infection.

Maybe since you have stitches I would wait. (:

I don't think you have to wait, but I'm just nervous of what's going on down there with stitches and whatnot. I don't want to make it worse. Lol

I shaved while I was in the Hospital. Lol
I didn't know you had to wait. Everyone is different, so do what you feel is best.
