I wouldn't really care what the midwives or my ob thought, but I had a full wax done before my c/s (I knew I was having one obviously) and it made it a lot easier afterwards (otherwise they shave you and that would be itchy). Next time I think I'll go for the same, only because if I do end up with stitches or a c/s I don't want itchy regrowth! But that has nothing to do with whether it looks pretty or not...
