    Pregnancy Hormones!!!

    At the end of my last pregnancy I got waxed and came up with a rash in patches on my legs. I've never had trouble with it before.

    This pregnancy again the same issues.... horrible and nasty, but I think I read somewhere that the hormones in pregnancy can make your skin more sensitive.

    I ended up going to the pharmacy and they gave me something for hives that was safe for during pregnancy.

    It took me about a week for it to go away - unfortunately not a quick fix!! Go to a pharmacy and ask them for something to help that is safe for pregnancy and then you'll just have to avoid using the wax (on your face at least) until after your pregnancy. In fact quite a while after your pregnancy cos the hormones take a while to leave your body. It sux!

    I had a friend wax my legs about 2 weeks ago as I couldnt get down to shave them, and I ended up with a terrible rash and I wax my legs every summer same product and yet this time I break out...

    I told the doctor and she said it was hormones thankfully
