A Hairy Query!

Soooooo ladies...

I've been wanting to ask this question for a while now, but keep forgetting!

What do we do with the hair 'down there'? I can barely see it anymore anyway.. but..

Do you care? Would you give it a trim before your due date? Would you just leave it knowing that midwives have seen it all before and then some?

I'm curious to know and I know I shouldn't really care about it cause giving birth is not about looking good for anyone.. but..

What do you all think?

My "intention" was to get a wax, or DH shave and neaten up.... but never got around to it!!!

I think midwives don't care as have seen it all before....

If you will feel betta about being neat and trim, ask your other half to neaten for you...

Once I was in labour, I didn't really care who was looking at my "forest"....as just wanted bubs out!!!!   

Though DH did need to put on his Safari Hat and grab his Machette after bubs had popped out to help me tame the wild jungle!!!! Who knew what else was going to pop out of there!!!!

1st time round I got them waxed, this time I shave it using the mirror.
I know everyone has seen it all before, but I can't stand the thought of hairs hanging out of my knickers or being long enough to plait!!!

My DP gave me a trim too.

I don't neaten up for the mw's, I figure they've seen it all before. But for my own personal preference, I shave the bikini line (top of the leg line) every now and then - basically if I grows beyond togs' border then that's too much for me lol. Every now and then I trim the length (just hack at it with the shaver, it's only a couple of hairs for me).

Don't shave before a c/s unless you know you're going to have one. If it's only a maybe, well there's time for them to prep you before the operation (I know, I had an emergency c/s). Believe me, it itches like mad when it grows back so only do it if necessary!

I was going to before I had Josh but couldn't see anything (funny that) and DH wasn't at home when I was doing it so left it. I do it myself usually.

I have actually thought about this too.
I think i will just leave it. Maybe try give it a trim so its not a jungle or maybe just bikini line but i dont see it getting that bad anyways. Ive never been a hugely hairy lady anyways haha.

Interesting thread indeed, Renee. Its something ive thought about a bit but i dont think id have the guts to ask!

Waxing - ow! hehe I'm too chicken to go there regardless of whether I'm pg or not

I've been able to shave all of pg1, all of pg2, all except last two weeks with pg3 (just left them cause I'm not too hairy, but I sure did like shaving after having baby lol)

LMAO!!!! man iv had a good laugh at this thread as it is something i have always wondered about!! not sure why i find it funny actually!!!??? its just one of those giggley subjects!! lol

my DH has offered many a times to do it for me!! (CHEEKY BUGGER!!!) but i feel very weird having him do it!! He waxed for me when i was later stages of pregnancy with Bay and i still feel embarrassed thinking about it!!!
I might give it a go at trimming a bit but not for MW as like everyone else has said im sure she has seen much much worse before!! its more so it is tame, tidy and a bit more hygenic for the nitty gritty stages after bubs is born

Man I am glad that I am not hairy! I shaved my legs for the first time in about 3 months the other day - you could almost play join the dots with my leg hair, it's so sparse!
