    Waxing when UTD

    Just wondering if anyone has tips for leg and bikini waxing when preg... I'm getting to the point where maintaining my bikini line myself is difficult (can't see it anymore ) and my legs are just a hassle. Was thinking of going back to waxing for the rest of my preg, but then remembered all the positions they put you in to get everything (lie on your stomach, legs up etc) and wondered if it was such a good idea... Be good to hear if others have managed it, before I make an appt and embarrass myself

    I'm 16 weeks along but showing far more than that! and recently got waxed.
    I just explained to the girl that there were just some positions impossible for me to manage and she adjusted them to ones that I could do...
    When you ring up, just mention you are pregnant and generally they will book you with someone experienced in waxing pregnant women.
    I will continue getting waxed because well - I can't manage my legs because I get so breathless and nearly pass out and as for the bikini line - I don't want to do it by feel!
    Hope that helps!

    I've been having leg waxing all the way through. My therapist just doesn't get my to lie on my tummy, she does most of it while I'm lying on my back (or reclining, lying flat isn't good when you start to get bigger) and then I just turn half to one side.

    As long as they know, they can work with you.

    I just didn't bother. When I was pushing DD out, the last thing I cared about was how overgrown I was

    I have no idea why, but I had a desperate wish to be hair free for birth, so I got a XXX wax (leaving the landing strip) the week before I was due. I'm glad I did, it felt nice in the water I think I might do it again for the next one, cos I'd plan another waterbirth. It's not a public consumption thing, just a water thing - I love water and how I feel in water and the less friction there is, the more watery I feel!
