Ok, so I wanted to check in after the weekend. Last night I went into attack mode with the Veet. At first I thought, this is total crap, it's not doing anything, but when I got in the shower, I started pulling at what's there, and it started coming off! Yay!

After some good scrubbing, it looks clean *enough* - I honestly didn't inspect it too closely with the hand mirror but tried to look as best I could in the vanity mirror. I mean, it looks like a blind person may have been in charge of my hair control, but it's much, much better than it was. It doesn't need to be pretty, just manageable. I think from here on out I could probably keep it trimmed up with my electric razor. (I forgot that it has a trimmer attachment.)

So, success?

Yeah! Thanks for the update.

Okay I am a neat freak down there so here goes! I am a waxer and have continued to do so during my pregnancy. We live on our boat during the summer, so there is no going natural for me. I will say it is not for the faint of heart especially if you haven't ever done it before. I will say not all estheticians are alike so it takes time to find a good one - which can make a huge difference. There are also different types of waxes/waxing and some hurt worse than others. As for cleanliness...be picky. There is alot to be said for a quality salon with a good reputation. Get referrals. It is going to hurt some, but you shouldn't be bruising and it shouldn't be excrutiating. If it is find someone better. But like I said now may not be the time to be shopping around.

On the question on Veet...which I personally love...it was a big NO on my drs list for pregnant women. My doctor strongly advised against it. So I would be sure you talk to your doctor before going that route.

Finally there are some really nice ladies razors with an electric trimmer on one end. Target has them, they aren't that expensive. They don't seem to let you get too close.

Good luck!

HAHAHA I just asked my husband if he would be willing to help me trim "down there"......his face lit up brighter than a Christmas tree! I had no idea he was willing and he said "well DUH!". Poor guy, I've been on pelvic rest since week 20. ;-)

I'm not pregnant yet, but Ive been getting Brazilian wax lately... it's not as painful as it seems, and it only takes 10 minutes (my lady does it in 10 minutes at least)... hopefully I can keep to this routine, otherwise my husband will have to trim me down there

I was getting brazilians before being pregnant and definitely could not handle it right now!

Me and my razor had a good relationship until 41weeks. I can't handle having a bush and it just felt right being totally landscaped for the whole stitches/healing process.

I give credit to prenatal yoga for being able to take care of it!

Next baby I think I'll go the waxing route. Can't hurt more than giving birth, right?

Now you are getting me nervous.... Oh well... I guess I'll see how it goes once I get pregnant...

Let me know how it goes...I have been super super thinking about even though I know it's probably more than I can handle...just dislike my ungroomed state :P
