To wax or not to wax?

Question

So I used to get down below waxed regularly before getting pregnant, but then heard it was worse pregnant and got nervous...but I’m considering getting waxed again because I heard it can make it easier to manage the mess after birth... has anyone gotten wAxed this pregnancy? If so, how bad was it? Is it worth getting waxed now or should I just be hairy lol? Thanks!

Answer

I was waxed pretty regularly before pregnancy and kept it up thru the second trimester and it wasn’t more painful or worse for me. I stopped sometime around 30 weeks bc it was kinda uncomfortable laying flat on the hard table and I couldn’t see down there anymore anyway so I got lazy w the appointments. 
My doc recommends just a short buzz down there for L&D so that’s what I’ll be for the big day. I’d like to be somewhat cleaned up but don’t want new hairs trying to grow in during recovery.

Answer

I’ve been doing it throughout. I don’t think it’s worse than before being pregnant.

Answer

I did at 14 weeks and it was awful. My skin was so sensitive when it was growing back in. I had so much irritation and itchiness as it was growing back. The actual wax itself was fine. Debating it now, but worried I’ll be itchy on top of the pain! Ugh IDK

Answer

Never stopped waxing. Pain is bearable.

Answer

I just got a sugaring at 35 weeks, wasn’t any worse or better than before pregnancy. I’ll probably get another one before delivery, if needed.

Answer

It hurt me too much and made everything swollen and react when I usually don't. I just use nair now. Much easier lol

Answer

I work at a waxing studio and have also been waxing my whole pregnancy. It is more painful but way worth it. You don’t want to deal with feeling gross and hairy when you also just pushed a baby out. I plan to get waxed again a week before my due date just in case I go early!

Answer

I have been getting waxed throughout and I haven’t noticed it more than usual. Definitely better than attempting to shave when you can’t see! Worth it in my opinion 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

Omg I stoped at 5 months and couldn’t take hair being there so I did it at 8 months and I wanted to fckn runnnnn. It was so painful. Could’ve been cuz I went so long or cuz the frickn rush of blood down there. 🤦🏾‍♀️ I’ll do it one more time I have 3.5 weeks I’m not ready.

Answer

I got waxed regularly before pregnancy and decided to get waxed around 18 weeks. It was pretty painful for me and I was swollen for 2 days. I don’t want to do it again lol. I’m thinking about trying sugaring though, it’s supposed to be a lot less painful
