Spa weekend ahead but unusually hairy stomach :(

So I'm getting married on tuesday so my brothers girlfriend has me a spa weekend planned for my bachelorette since I can't drink or anything. We're gonna get massages and facials,  Manis pedis,  the whole deal, but I'm really self concious cuz of my hairy belly! !!! Ever since I've gotten pregnant the only part of my body that's gotten hairy is my stomach!  It's so weird! I don't wanna shave cuz it would just grow back quick and possibly thicker but is it alright to wax your stomach when pregnant?  I'm 25+4 today so I do have a bump.i want the hair gone but I don't want to risk hurting my little boy.  Anyone waxed without any complications?

I'm an esthetician and I work in a spa. I do facials, waxing, body treatments, etc. First let me just say, people who have worked in the spa have seen it all.. and we wouldn't even thick twice about your hairy tummy! Haha. However, if it really bothers you, waxing won't hurt your baby, just make sure the wax isn't too hot and that the therapist doesn't put too much pressure on your belly when holding the skin taunt to rip off the strips. (I'm sure she'll already know this though)

Could use hair removal cream instead maybe? I can imagine it would really hurt getting waxed x
