Should I Shave Before Delivery? Pros and Cons

i didnt even bother lol

it wasnt to bad cuz i had shaved a few weeks before

I shaved a few weeks before giving birth so i definitely had hair down there while giving birth. I wouldn't stress about it.

i didnt bother either lol.

@babygirl10-11 @prettyyellow yea I shaved a few weeks before as well.. && I'm feeling like maybe I should have shaved last week or something. you know that fresh shave have you all uncomfortable in the beginning && then drs gonna be all bothering you too..so I guess I won't worry about it

@octbaby1031, how are you and baby girl doing

pre pregnancy, shave every 2-3 days. when pregnant? once that bump gets in the way, i don't bother. women weren't shaving the lady bits for centuries before birthing their babies. hair isn't a bad thing. expecially during pregnancy. it helps prevent imbalances in the natural bacteria down there

@rlcorreia123 2 to 3 days.. lol I wasn't even doing that.. lol I don't like the prickly phase in the beginning

lol

That's a tough decision.. If u can tolerate it, go to European wax center so u won't feel that irritation afterwards. If you don't want to wax it then I would leave it because u don't that want itchy, scratchy feeling afterwards. U will already be sore n all. U can always shave a week or 2 later

you could just trim? lol thats what I do when the hairs start to bother me. I can't reach in order to shave & plus if you just trim short enough you dont go through all of the irritation caused by shaving. Then after having baby it wont be as messy when you're bleeding.

I didn't shave and im glad I did t cause I needed some extra cushion the first few days with the stitches, I did however trim yesterday but not to much cause after my 6 wk appt I'm getting waxed, trust me they are not gonna be looking but you don't want nothing adding to your irritation especially delivering vaginally @sexii_diiva

it's not like it looks horrible.. like ooo she triffling lol... nothing like that..but I forget I may have stitches ...&& I'm sure stitches && prickly hair does not mix! @mrssabby

@sexii_diiva, nope I just did a nice low trim when I came home just because of the bleeding after birth and too much hair don't mix, but stitches on bare skin and rubbing up against a pad all day or even no stitches but a sore vagina rubbing up against a pad all day nope it's terrible

@mrssabby yea I totally get it

So you ready? @sexii_diiva

@mrssabby lol well I'm ready as In I have everything together.. but I'm not ready to deal with this pain lol

ummmm..yea freshly shaved..prickly hair..n stitches..THE WORST.i was SO uncomfortable. DONT DO IT..!

@bronxmade lol I'm not... I completely forgot about the stitch part!!!

the only thing I shaved was my legs n armpits lol...I wasnt worried about shaving down therr for one I couldn't see it anymore anyway but I just figured why when like u said its gonna be irritating and yes def stitches will be aggravated.

@sexii_diiva, lol stop thinking bout pain girl just think about us natural mommas who can't get an epidural for one reason or another 😂😂😂😂😂😂

@mrssabby girl I might accidentally miss getting it...that's why I'm scared lol

@sexii_diiva, 😂😂😂😂😂u gonna do so well
