waxing a c-section scar??

[traceyvon]

Hello,

Looking for a bit of advice if anyone has any. I will be heading in for my second c-section in about 5 weeks and was thinking of how best to prepare "down there"? My previous scar is lumpy in places and the thought of someone taking a razor to the area just sends shivers down my spine.

So has anyone waxed their scar before going in for surgery or do you have any other wonderful ideas? I guess the other thing I can do is use those creams that dissolves the hair? Don't know really, hence the questions

Thanks,
Tracey

I'd go the cream option - least chance of ingrown hairs, whcih you really don't want when healing! I shaved myself. You should be ok to wax if you've done it before. Bear in mind the area is more sensitive when pregnant than it usually is though!

I got waxed just cause I didn't want to worry about hair growing back for 3-4 weeks and yep a bit tender but nothing to really complain about. Godo luck.

Yep I got mine waxed too the week before. Much easier than having to worry about the hair in my scar.
