hey all.
i just made an appointment to get a brazilian wax next week... i had them regularly until i got pregnant with my daughter (wow that's a while ago now...) so know what i'm in for...i think...!!!
my question is to those who have had them during pregnancy...how did it go? i've heard all the horror stories of dodgy comments from the 'waxer' to the 'waxee' about the appearance of their vaginas... hmmmm.
pretty much i'm super nervous now i've made the appointment and need some reassurance!!!

This is a funny one, I care what I look like 'down there' my friends think I'm nuts. I can't wait til I can trim my own bikini line and shave my legs again!
I'll be getting my partner to have a go with the bikini line trimmer soon but no way will I be getting a brazilian OUCH!!!

I still had them whilst pregnant *hoping no OB girls that know me read this*
Anyway it wasn't bad and I had been going to the same women since before falling preg and she was great about it PLUS she had to be, if she said anything mean I probably would have got up and smacked her one I was a grumpy preggy lady.
It will be fine trust me! The waxers do it for preggy ladies all the time Good luck chicky

Hey emmakate, I'm much earlier in my pg than you (so not sure if that makes a difference with comments from the waxing lady!) but I kept my waxing appointment last week and it didn't hurt (any more than usual) and the "waxer" knew I was pg so maybe she didn't dare make any comments
I always figured, they have seen it all before so why comment. But a friend of mine was telling me once how her waxing lady commented on how "young" she looks ...??!?!?!? WTF? Weird.
Good luck with your wax! I'm sure it will be fine.

Hehe my daughter never came out that way either lol
I think its easier to errm maintain after birth if there is no hair there JMO
Also the pain isn't that bad, well the first time it's a lil bad but after that its all good

I'm a beautician and waxing should be fine. Just uncomfortable lol
Some beauticians won't wax that late in pregnancy if you havent been getting them done regularly. But I'm sure you would have mentioned that at appointment time.
Also the size of some ladies (which im sure your not as you didnt mention this) can cause a bit of a problem while pregnant. For example a lady who is overweight already (esp with an overhang tummy) needs to help make the skin taught for the waxing,,,and if they are large with the overhang tummy they need to pull it up and push (hope you kwim).. in this situation close to EDD it wouldnt be advisable.
Hope this helps :)

hey Nefertiti thanks for the info! i did explain to my beautician lady that i was going to be 38 weeks, (she has just done my facials in the past... now she gets the other end!...ha) she mentioned that it will be a little more "uncomfortable" than usual (..hmmm doctor code for "it's going to f**kin hurt!)
fortunately i'm pretty much just all belly in this pregnancy , and you can access the area (if you know what i mean...)
phew! what an interesting topic this really is!!

I don't get a brazillian but did continue to have a bikini wax during my pregnancy and my last ended up being only 5 days before Jack was born. If I remember the most uncomfortable part was lying on my back.
DH did say after Jack was born that I should have got a brazillian though as it would have been tidier during the birth! I think next time I won't get a brazillian but I will get the clippers out for the "in between" part

Doesn't it itch like crazy when it all grows back? The shave for the cesarean was bad enough!!

Doesn't itch nope....shaving on the other hand does!!! I will continue with the waxing when I'm pregnant, just because I prefer it.

nah - doesn't itch at all for a brazilian, unless you shave it yourself!
i used to get them regularly before i was pg, but heard that it heaps more now and that combined with a tightening budget has put me off a bit...

I had brazilians throughout both my pregnancies
I thought it hurt a bit more than usual, but didn't have any comments from my therapist. The only thing she said was about how many other pregnant women who had come in lately and new mums with their little bubbas who sat in the capsule while mum had it done. That's where I draw the line - six weeks after the birth and I'm definitely not keen to get another one done yet! Enough pain down there for a while I think!

I havn't had a braz in ages. No way i'm shaving, ouch!! Shaving hurts more growing back than getting braz in my opinion.
The book says you're supposed to trim before EDD or they might do it for you. Only one lady gets near my Vajayjay and that's my waxing girl!!
One q though, My girl makes you lift your legs and put your knees together for the underside. None of this icky hands and knees business. Can you get your legs high enough with a gigantasaur belly in the way?
I'll be booking in as a good friend told me it was far easier as she had stitches an no hair made hygiene easier for her e.g. fluids drying TMI.

You'll find that each therapist has her own technique danaj. And also the size of the client is taken into consideration too.
Alot do the underside with the client on her side with legs curled up.....heaps of different ways to get the job done! lol
When I had my kids (now 15, 14 and 8) I never shaved or trimmed.....never even thought about it. And I never had a comment from my midwives or my kids dad. I also had stitches with my first and the healing process wasn't hindered because of the hair.

I WILL be sorting it all out once bubs arrives and pulling myself back together!

I have always kept up with my waxing, full braz here
I have been going to the same beautician for a couple of years now, she was fantastic when I was pregnant, she raised the head of the bed slightly as some women get nausea if they lie flat on their back.
I laughed at the hopsital MW when I was in labour and being prepped for the C-sect. She said she needed to shave me...I said like hell you will. Poor women, she then realised it didn't need to be done.

This thread is amusing hehe..
I'd never pay to be waxed down there (what a waste of money IMO) and DH would slap me if I did. He doesn't like women looking like little girls down there
I just shave my bikini line and keep the rest trimmed. It doesn't burn or itch or anything as it regrows. Maybe yall need better razors if it does lol

Date Posted: 01 July 2008 at 10:57am
lol Your midwife sounds funny Roksana.
I think I am just going to leave it and shave near the end and just go bare, it will be better hygiene wise.
Plus that means I wont need to spend money for someone to do it hehe, my DH wont mind doing it for me.

I always wondered that if I fully shaved it off before baby (which I considered) but then wouldnt regrowth hurt the baby as it comes out?? so I just trimmed it to the best I can (with the huge belly on the way).....and I know I was told to take a shower just before my epi was given and made sure I cleaned my bits......but again DD never came out that way!!

kebakat - i agree with your DH, so for that reason when I've had them done I always leave a little strip down the middle.
Braz come in all sorts of different 'styles'.....all gone, landing strip, even the hair being shaped into things like stars etc!
Roksana - i dont see how the regrowth would hurt a baby being born. after all they are coming from the inside out so not even close if you know what i mean. And with most women, regrowth is about 4-6 weeks, so just time the waxing to be a couple weeks before EDD :)

lol! I normally shave as couldnt bring myself to get it waxed! but since I cant see or reach it particuarly well at the moment its ah -la-natural and I hate it! DH just laughs! I have my strep swab tomorrow so seriously thinking of getting DH to do some triming and then again before the birth! think it maybe better for hygine?

Kye - My DH would flat out refuse...I remember with DD I asked him if he could shave my legs for me...he just made some excuse and bolted out of the door.....MEN!! so getting him to do my private bits would be impossible!! LOL
Nefertiti - I was more thinking from the saving point a view....because surely the hait after wax is not so harsh??
I will try and keep it as tidy as possible before bub is here...

The hair regrowth is 'generally' softer from waxing. And also the irritation is a LOT less, if at all, if you have waxed rather than shaving too.

Posted By: Shorty
Date Posted: 01 July 2008 at 1:06pm
I found that waxing has made my hair alot softer/finer.
Isn't it funny how we all feel so differently....I would not be without my waxing now. wouldn't let it grow back now. But that is my treat each month.
There are many forms of Braz, it also depends on the beautician as to how much they remove....I am totally hairless from my head down

wow what an interesting topic. I had a friend who waxed downt here regularly. she said it didn't hurt. i trim it i guess. I shaved last preggy had started early. Just don't like the thought of all the hair around bubs when being delivered etc. i guess i'm just funny. I have trimmed it a few times so far this preggy & really keep thinking i must kepe it shorter. have long bits in between though that just get trimmed, but normally i shave the front and sides as much as possible. i tend to either go all bare on the front, r leave just a little bit so it not itchy. Although been doing it so long now it no longer itchy. First few times were, but no longer. Nerfiti, what do you suggest for ingrowns? if you don't mind me asking

Hehe, interesting topic.
I usually bikini wax and trim, DH likes me to look "like a woman" LOL but while I was pregnant I was so sick and in pain that I couldn't be stuffed. It must have been like a jungle!! But DH didn't care (so much gross stuff goes on down there anyway!) and when I mentioned it to my MW (haha) she said "seriously, there are a lot worse-looking things to be worrying about at the time" and none of the Drs or anything seem to mind. And it never made a difference with stitches and stuff, as far as I know (I had big cuts as it was a forceps delivery).
But I say do whatever makes you feel better about being preg

Hahaha great topic! I used to wax / shave before I had O, and during my pregnancy DH used to help trim down there for me!
Interestingly since O was born, I havent really worried about it. Prob because I never get to have a shower long enough to do anything other than wash (quickly)!!!
I have just booked in for a bikini wax tidy for Sat morning, as DH and I are going away for a romantic night for our wedding anniversary on sat, and figured it would be a nice "suprise" for him !!!!! I am a bit nervous though - as I still have quite a tummy left over from O, and feel very self conscious about my bodt now...and its a bit like the "wild man of borneo" down there!!!

how painful is it emmekate?
Before i got preggy with Vincent i was fine with bikini line being waxed & legs etc, even when at end of preggy with him i was ok with legs being waxed but after preggy, it was worse than before. I had my bikini line waxed fo rmy sisters wedding (V was 4mths old) & it was really really sore. even hurt more for my legs! I'm too scared to try a braz now coz of it...

Wow that all sound so painful!!
With my first I'm sure the birth would have looked like a gooey swamp monster coming out of a jungle!!!
Last time I got DH to trim it but he got all arty and shaved a heart into it, or so he said. I couldn't see it because I was so huge!
This time round getting a braz would be a good idea but considering the fact getting my eyebrows waxed takes me a ton of courage I'm not sure I'd be brave enough!
Sort of off the subject but my sister has got a clitorus(sp?) ring and I asked her if she plans to take it out either during pgy or at least birth and she doesn't plan to. I have awful thoughts of it somehow stretching and tearing or the baby grabbing it on the way out!! It's probably impossible but the whole things sounds a bit creepy to me!

helen21 , just thinking about your sister and her peircing, i took all mine out before i was pregnant but i reckon it would become really uncomfortable. with all the extra bloodflow and pressure down there!! plus bigger chance of infection (with all the extra "discharge'...mmmm nice!)
had to laugh about the "swamp monster" comment!! i think i was pretty similar last time too! dispite my hubbys artistic efforts as well! (possibly went to the same beauty school as yours!!??)

A good therapist should never wax if the hair is too long - a trained therapist would know that!! If I had a client come in and the hair was too long I would just trim it. It doesn't need to be the length of a matchhead, it can be longer than that.

Check out some therapists who work from home, they are generally cheaper and do just as good a job. Only cheaper due to working from home and overheads aren't as much.

Yep i go to a lady who works from home and shes great, makes me laugh the whole time so i don't even notice she's doing it.
Oh and i only mentioned that length because that's what she suggested to me when i asked her.....spose any shorter than that would be difficult to wax tho.

Do you have a local directory for your area. If you do just look up Beauty Therapy....They should all be listed in there. I just looked for one in my suburb, that's how i knew she worked from home.

yip any shorter and bits would be missed.
Just look in the yellow pages (or local directory as deez said)....you should be able to tell from their address that they work from home. Ie being in a residential area etc.
And phone around for prices. Prices vary greatly. And also also what the price is for following visits and how much they cost. If you leave it too long, they may charge for a 1st time visit again.

Its very possible to wax your own.....although you have to be very flexible lol
I know several therapist who wax their own, but they are also little thin things! hehe
Just make sure you have a mirror and be careful! Your partner might be willing to help you.
