Hair removal when pregnant?

Question

Hi ladies so I’m getting to s point in my pregnancy I can no longer see down below
I have been told many many times to shave with a mirror but I can’t because I have a cerclage so doing all the awkward positions to get in there is difficult and too risky at the moment 
Scared to get waxed being high risk even though it doesn’t relate
I have bought some Veet hair removal cream would that be ok or could I get infection? I know it isn’t going in me but still concerned? 
Any advice please?!

Answer

Ehhhh I'd be on edge about the Veet because of the strong chemicals. This is a great question for your OB :)

Answer

Hair removal cream is safe, especially the ones for sensitive skin.
That being said I personally find regrowth painful, and just keep it neat and trimmed down there.
Waxing is an option if you regularly get it done, but with all the extra blood flow, the skin is often more sensitive so you may find it a tad more painful than usual.

My husband is amazing and he shaves for me

Hi! I'm an esthetician and do Brazilians all day long! :)
Waxing is typically safe. However, if you're considered high risk, I'd just ask your OB just in case. Most likely, they will say yes but you should ask just in case. Your body is putting so much effort into growing your little one that it sometimes over looks minor scratches, cuts, etc so it could take a while for you to heal properly. 
I  absolutely WOULD NOT recommend anything that chemically dissolves your hair, Veet, Nair, etc. I feel you're more likely to have a reaction using that than you would with waxing. But that is my personal/professional opinion. Regrowth after using those products could be worse like getting more ingrowns
It does hurt a little more while you're pregnant because of increased blood flow and all those damn hormones! If you're scared itll hurt, I'd recommend starting with either a bikini wax or a modern Brazilian. Modern Brazilian is a little more than a bikini but not quite a full Brazilian. If you decide to get a Brazilian, find a place that's reputable with good reviews and just let them know you're pregnant so they can make sure you're comfortable.
Hope those helps! Let me know if you have any other questions:)

Answer

Brazilian

Answer

I took over one of my husbands old beard trimmers (norelco one blade I think) and I just go blindly and wing it lol I'm not worried how it looks I just like to keep up on it so clean up is easier after birth when I'll be too sore and possibly have stitches

Answer

Cant see it why bother? Literally when you go to give birth you wont be thinking oh my gosh people will see hair on my vagina. You will be focused on your baby. You will feel very gross and uncomfortable after words. When you have the baby if you have shaved very recently before giving birth you will more than likely wear the giant pads they give you in the hospital. They will rub and cause more pain for you as well as increasing the chances of ingrown hairs with the friction of the pad.

Answer

Do not! Put hair remover creams on your lady area! It’s straight chemicals around your vagina. 
Let it grow if you don’t want to wax or use a mirror. But please don’t give yourself a chemical burn.

Answer

Wax 100%

Answer

I’d just wax/sugar. You know it’s not a risk. So no need to stress it.
