Downstairs

I felt real preggo today when I went to shave downstairs and realized what a chore it was. I dont belive I will be undertaking that task again until after baby and Im only 22 weeks. I have a long time for things to get serious down there. How did your men take it no longer being groomed?

I ended up leaving mine to grow out by the end, it felt awful but it wasn't worth the risk of cutting my nunny off! the night I had my son I gave it proper good doing over when I got home from the hospital, there was NO way I was having all that hair there while I was bleeding!

I had my first before I started shaving down there. Now I'm used to it I'm not sure what I will do. I will either leave it, or have my husband do it. He has shaved me before and I trust him. I also know that he won't mind me being hairy. Neither will the nurses or doctor. It just isn't a big deal to me.

I'm 35 weeks today and I can't stand hair down there I only shave about once a week though and hubby doesn't mind. I blind shave bc all you gotta do is feel around and it works for me. I don't wanna go deliver and have hair down there

It is crazy hard but i still do it at 34 weeks. I cant handle it not being groomed. I dont think my husband would care as much as i do. My shower is right in front of my bathroom mirror so i open the door and look at it to see what i am doing lol. Before i realized i could do that i told him that he would have to help

Ill try the mirror trick next time, but I never imagined that shaving down there would make me lose my breath and make my back ache. I think it might be more for me than him too because Ill look down there and just become disgusted. I never asked him if it bothers him.

Im 31 weeks and it is a chore. I hate hair down there so I try not to let it go too long without shaving but it seems I have been waiting longer and longer lately.  Lol. But my man doesn't seem to mind. He knows how hard it is for me to do things like that now. Lol. And blind shaving *****! Im thinking of trying a mirror?

Mine asked one time playin around before I got prego if I'd grow it out some fur him but I said no! Nd he was like okay good.. I dnt really think it bothers him too much tho cuz there has been a couple times it was a lil hairy down there but me personally I cnt stand it gettin hairy.. I feel dirty wen it is.. my opinion tho.. even tho it's really hard to do it now I still do nd I gotta blind shave  so sometimes I miss a few spots -_-

My hubby knows I have always done it for my comfort more than for his... I got lazy with it fast. I think it's disgusting and it bothers me but can't find the energy or flexibility to do it all anymore. Everytime I complain about it he tells me how much he doesn't care bc I am still sexy to him (even more so being pregnant) and he thinks my body is beautiful. So I think he takes it better than I. He has even offered to help me.. but I think my reaction if he cut me in such a sensitive area would not be good. Lol. Hopefully yours will be plenty understanding!
