I try to do a bit of a tidy up, shave legs, trim between legs... but I know that they don't care what you look like... honestly, they are so flat out (each midwife has about 4 labouring mothers to look after simultaneously some days) that what our hair coverage is like is the LEAST of there concerns!

Be easy on yourself... medical people see thousands of women over the course of a career... they see everything... and I try to tell myself that there are more important things and it's good for the soul to let vanity (not saying you are vain) take a backseat.

These days my teenage daughter asks me every day: what do you think of my hair!??? I think I'm over that stage personally LOL I know it's hard to let go... but if you find yourself in the hospital before you are totally ready (smoothness-wise) then please don't stress.... there's no need to

Just my opinions
