to shave or not to shave?
Did u shave before delivering?? Im debating if Is should or not idk.
I shaved whilst in labour with my first son. I was having a bath to help contractions. I thought i done a good job considering i couldnt see. Wasnt until after i gave birth i realised what a mess i made. Haha. Dknt worry they have to see it all. I pooped in the pool giving birth, seeing patches of hair was the least of my worries. Haha.
I think I decided a week before due date or so im going to have my friend do it for me, that way its no maze and doctor and baby can find their way but also not totally bare lol
I always feel better shaved lol I didnt with my 2nd as woke up in labour and had 25mins before giving birth I remember with my 3rd I woke up at 5am the day I was induced to make sure I bikini line was tidy and legs were shaved lol
I'm only at 11w4d but my thought is during labor the last thing I'm going to be worried about is if I'm cleanly shaven lol
I just trim. I don't want to look like a jungle woman but I don't want to risk baby being pushed through stubble either.
I tried shaving last week and I cut my self so I said screw that crap I am trimming from now on. When I was doing my clinical rotation (this is pretty gross) this lady looked like she never shaved in her life and had t his bush that was a good 8 inches long and I swear I'm not exagurating. But all the other ladies who were trimmed it wasn't even weird it was a natural occurrence. And I. Don't know if it's true but I was told your able to get an infection from shaving right before giving birth because of the fluids and all that. But I'm not sure. I just keep it trim it's easier and I don't have to worry about slicing my vag open lol.
I didn't shave. For what I didn't need to impress anyone there. My husband offered bit I told him it wasn't nessesary. As some one who works in the medical field in a womens clinic we see it all.
I had my daughter nine days ago and right after my water broke I went to the bathroom and shaved haha
My c section is scheduled for the 17th if i don't go into labor before then. My husband said he would shave me when the time comes. I can't see or bend enough to do it thoroughly so thankfully my husband is willing too. Im for surely shaving before my c section cuz i don't want the nurse to shave me. That would be awkward.
My best friend asked her fiance to shave her and he said no. she went and got waxed, she said never again, it hurt too much. two days later she went into labor and the nurses were impressed and even her mother said "That's smoother than the babys bottom!" Lol. I'm gonna try to shave it. if not get it waxed. I'm not due till June but there it is.
Im 36 weeks. Shaved the other day and it took forever lol plus i had to have my significant other make sure i got it all after lol. Im not doing it again. They can deal with it
Ps: the hair on my lwgs doesn't even grow lol. Its all gone to my armpits and my hoohaa lol. I can shave my armpits easy but not down there so he offered to help me
I think im going to attempt to shave. I'm almost 22 weeks and shaving is hard enough now lol so I don't know how well I'll be able to later on.. my legs will be shaved though.
I didn't shave down there at all I trimmed a bit but felt more comfortable with a little bit of coverage lol
I did. My midwife even commented on my legs being freshly shaved, if your talking about down there.. then yes but I do that every few days throughout all 3 pregnancies.
