I've just been for a wax...
and she has REALLY bruised me down below! I cant see down there over my bump hence going for the wax! she was REALLY rough and just kept saying child birth will hurt more you'll be looking back at this wishing you were back here then ripping a strip off! had plenty of waxing before this just seemed vicious! lol
I showed my mum and she gaspted and said Ooo that loks sore! which it is... had a look in the mirror and OOW! purple and black and red! nice!
I got it done cause I want to start going swimming (and OH was hintting heavly lol that it needed doing!)
wanted to get it done just before the birth ( i know people will say i don't care at the time) but now i'm a bit worried about going throught that again!

I wouldn't bother going back there again. All you need to do is trim the area with an electric shaver (I borrow oh's) or shave there. Quick and painless!!! lol. I'm so big now I don't know how I'm going to manage shaving down there just before the birth. Will have to get oh to help, but he's useless at shaving himself so god help me!!
Take care xxx

I've started going for a waxing treatment where they just peel the wax off rather than rip it off using strips. Same effect but far less painful.
My cousin got OH to do her bikin line just before she gave birth and when she looked with a mirror she said it was like a very uneven plucked chicken. S x

I know its not important but like it_must_love i cant think of being in labour then worrying what a mess i am, lol.
I used to use an epilator (only on legs and under arm, too painful for bikini line) but now i feel to scared to use it because it hurts more now.I was thinking of wax but now your experience has put me off, lol. So shaving it is.

OH is going to do it (i must be mad)!! I just think if I let him start practising now - in 9 wks (when its gonna be seen) then it wont be soooo bad! I wish I didnt care but I do and if I dont do it at home then am gonna be got by a nurse with a bic!!!
It says in my c/section booklet they gave me that they will shave me but they wont even use cream will they?
if ur adamant on not waxing, shave it, as depilatiory creams are VERY harsh on ur skin and if u get any in ur parts it will really hurt!!!
hope this helps!!
love gracie and bump 40 + `1 xx
However re creams although Gracie is right in that they can be quite harsh, I find that now I can't do my own waxing they're the only thing I can use - I use Veet sensitive - I can't tolerate shaving as I'm really sensitive and break out in humoungous shaving rashes. I agree though - don't get the cream in any of the inner bits and also slap on loads of vaseline afterwards to soothe it.
Good luck!

I was so busy holding my knickers out the way - she put my hands in place and i just couldn't see where she was doing laying flat (with only one pillow lol have six in bed at mo!) and not able to see over my bump!
It did hurt and thinking she didnt streach skin enough - i do bruise like a peach normally although pretty good in waxing, but really should of expected it to be worse at the mo...
I wouldn't shave - a razor near my privates lol when i cant see and my co-oridination is not great in the mirror - and all the iching! lol no Ta!
might try the cream though and if its not great it will just have to be another wax! she says squirming! lol
even if its a bit before i'm due it won't matter I just don't want to be a jungle and have plates lol! :L
& nobody will be taking photos i can assure yous lol! I can't even see down there!
lol things we do huh! x
My oh threatened to attempt a love heart - I would just be having with him not cutting me!!!

As for creams, their too messy and its requires too much time. Shaving can be done quickly in the shower along with the armpits!! Well for me it works anyhow!
My legs I havent done for along long time. Was quite surprised that they hardly show. So leaving them and will do them after lo is born. I doubt i will be flashing my legs off before then unless i go to aqua natal classes.
