Just wanted to make a comment on the midwives/Obs wanting it more clean and neat - well they can just go and get stuffed...!!! All women are born with pubic hair and can give birth with it, shock horror! I've not met a woman who has had birth complications or endangered the life of their baby from inconvienient pubic hair. If you like it on, keep it on and who cares what the rest of the world thinks!!! Better still, have a birth in water and no-one will even see your public hair and how neat and tidy it is. :P
