I have to say i have stopped visiting all but one US site because i find them all so uptight and they think i'm just revolting! LOL. I was attacked as a suspicious person a few months ago for saying i thought it was fine that both XP and i occasionally bath with DD (she was just 1 then). They felt that i should be encouraging modesty - in a ONE YEAR OLD? FFS! And also that her daddy bathing with her was, and i quote, "wierd and wrong". *rolls eyes*....
Anyway. I usually keep my underneath bare and let my little triangle grow but keep the edges neat. But XP LOVED hair and wouldn't let me shave - even my pits! When we broke up i shaved EVERYTHING lol. I'm blonde anyway so it's not a huge issue - you can hardly see the thinner growth!
But by the time i was 11 days overdue with DD i could not see, could not reach and did not care what it all looked like. When she was a week old i shaved again and realised it had been at least 6 weeks.
My midwives didn't seem perturbed by my vagina, so i can only assume it wasn't too frightening! LMAO!
Thing is, unless you have an epidural and have time to think about these things, when your brain is still your own enough to think about that stuff in labour it's still early on and no-one is looking, byt the time they look to do VE's etc. you're too deep into labour to care what they see. That was my experience anyway.
