I maintain my waxing (inc brazilian) the whole way through - my last one was at 38 wks with DS.
Mytherapist knows I am preg and when I get larger and more uncomf she allows more time (maybe tell them when you make the booking).
Ok I sound feral because I didn't get it done. Might have to try this waxing thing when PG with #2, why not! Never waxed down there, is it embarrassing, does it hurt? Tell me girls how it's done!
As long as they know, they should NEVER get you to lie in an uncomfortable position. You should also tell your therapist even if your not showing or uncomfortable. It's important for us (Beauty Therapists) to know!
queenbee, you are not alone. I never wax down there. I did once and I bled like a stuck pig, it wasn't pretty.
I would love to have a landing strip, 'cause I reckon it would be easier at birth and after. I read Kelly Winder's article, but I'm still not convinced. I'm just a gigantic chicken.
I also reckon it probably wouldn't be too bad in normal life. Can I have a general anaesthetic? I'd personally prefer to give birth.
I have just gone for my second time and got the extended bikini wax done (first time I just had a normal bikini wax, but it wasn't enough for me) and it really isn't as bad as I thought, wear loose knickers though, the therapist asked that I pull one side of the knickers across (she then waxes the bikini and bottom area) and then the other side. Was ouchy but booked another in just before delivery so it can't be that bad.
i have continued getting a brazillian wax also through out my pregnancy & have noticed it does hurt a little more but like missbec said its over in a flash!
Can I just offer some advice from what I find helpful....
Always hold the skin tight & once they take it off, if they dont firmly put their hand on the area, then you put your hand there.... I dont know why but when you push on it straight after its not as painful.
Also its really only the first couple of times that it hurts badly, if you dont leave the visits too long in between then it doesn't hurt as much because they're not pulling as much out if that makes sense.
I also feel "cleaner" when I have mine done & didnt have any probs through pregnancy, besides my back hurting while I laid on it!
It shouldn't bleed if they pull the strip quick enough, and the hair isn't too long...if the hair is long it makes its a lot more slow and painful process!! Ideal 'down there' hair length for waxing is 0.5-2 cm
