This has always been something i HATE doing so its become DF's job regardless if im pregnant or not.

Since being pregnant i've let it go wild. But every couple of months i'll get sick of it and shave it off very slowly and carefully in the shower. Lol

LMFAO!
Seriously, I nearly laughed myself off the chair!
I laughed so hard I had to read what you wrote to my Mum and DP, Netty!
You are a classic!!!!

Annnyywwaaaayyyyy...
Evie was correct. I just got waxed.
It wasn't my first time and it won't be my last!
This time though I had let a few months go between waxes so I was at the beginning again - the more you have it done, the less it hurts.
It hurt like a b**** but it only lasted, ohhh, maybe a minute?
Much better than when I TRIED to shave - hmmm, I still have the scar! That will teach me for trying to do it when I couldn't see...
I will continue to get waxed every couple of weeks now until and after the birth. I just find it so much easier than doing it myself - maybe I'm just lazy!
I prefer waxing because it is quick, easy and lasts much longer than shaving. Plus the hair grows back less and softer...
Ingrowns are easily avoided by having a good routine after waxing - using a loofah glove or body scrub and moisturiser. I have only ever had 2 ingrowns - this time actually - because I didn't follow my routine... They have pretty much gone since I started it again though.

My first birth I went wild... OMG! Big Mistake. Never ever again! I tore badly and needed a lot of stitches and needed to be checked down there hourly... It would have been so much easier to look after by the nurses and myself, if I had tamed it!

Sooooo after all that longwinded reply...
Wax!

Just go wild. My hospital asks you not to wax or shave 4 weeks prior to your EDD. Apparently waxing and shaving can leave small nics which can cause infection.

BTW I use clippers to keep under control and DH does it when I can't...It is a bit nerve racking but the job gets done after a few laughs.

That is really interesting, Bek!
Both hospitals - first birth and impending - actually suggested a tidy up prior to birth...
When I asked the midwife and OB at the hospital for this one if it was ok to be completely waxed for the birth, they both said a very big yes and explained it makes their job a little easier...
You brought up a good point with the shaving - I will avoid that one if I can't get waxed in time for the birth or if I chicken out!
