hi i was in a similar situation with my DD though i had an emergency c-sect. i had a wax on EDD and then went 12 days over so by the time she was a couple of weeks old i couldn't wait to get one. My beautician asked me wait til my check up so my scar was healed enough etc i guess this would be the same as and epi. I got my wax at 6 wks but as my scar was still red and not 100% we jsut went around it!!
