To wax or not?

Hi Girls, I'm sure this topic has come up before but i'm just wondering about the waxing situation down below? I've never had a designer wax (as in brazillian or hollywood) before but have a small fear of somebody coming near me with a razor if i need a section (stupid i know given everything else i'll have to face) or even anyone looking down there without being waxed. This is my first child and i really don't have a clue! Help!

oh im exactly the same..am due in 2 weeks and am threatning every day to go and get waxed..maybe a california..ie..a bikini....was just wondering did anyone else get one!!!

believe me the state of your bikini line is the last thing you or they will be worrying about when you are in labour.

im going to keep using veet

i would use veet if i could actually reach down there to do it...have tried to no avail..its awful!!!!

Now talking about waxing - I am literally just back form the salon after getting my legs and bikini line waxed for the first time. And I have to say I am pleasantly surprised cause it wasnt that painful at all. And the girl was really gentle. For me personally i am going to keep it up and it is nice to hand over that job to someone else now as my bump continues to grow!! I feel all fresh and clean!!! There is a salon in D24 who are doing half price on ALL treatments for the month of May - so got the whole lot done for only €20!!! Pm me if you want details... HTH xx

well im a regular waxer and i will be getting done before I go in for the big day. I too am of the opinion that i feel fresher and cleaner when i have it done and i usually go for a brazilian- cant tell if i need it done soon or not, cant see down there anymore!!

if you don't usually get waxed, no way would i get it done just to give birth. i don't think they shave you anyway anymore if you have to have a section, maybe just the top IYKWIM !!! As someone else said - it'll be the last thing on your mind when your pushing out your little one!!!

I just got a quick tidy up before the birth but like others have said it's the last thing you worry about when your in labour. Having a poo while pushing worried me more so if a midwife or doc is used to seeing that I think the last thing they worry about is if you've have a tidy bikini line.
