Acrobatics to Shave?


So I went in to shave my legs today, and it felt like I had to do acrobatics to do so! I had to situate my bump certain ways to reach! I know it is getting harder to shave the nether regions, being I can’t see down there anymore, but what am I going to do when it gets closer to labor?

I wonder what OH will be doing that day?

Just thought I'd share! I am hoping I am not alone out there!

You're not alone! I look like a yeti! Lol.

It is very difficult and it's tempting to give up altogether!

I went too long between this shave and the last! Yesterday my OH mentioned that my leg hair looked longer than his so I had to get it off today!

I am so hairy too! I blame it on the testosterone the boy puts out!

hair removal cream is your friend. some work really well and its easier to sort out. I wax my legs and can discovered I can do that right through, if you can manage it, does mean if you do them 37/38 weeks you should be sorted...unlike shaving that you have to do at least every couple of days.

Oh, some of the hair removal creams you can rub on and then rinse off and not have to mess about bending down twice.

Is har removal cream safe to use? I was a bit wary as I thought I'd read somewhere that they could be bad for baby??

I was told there are too many chemicals, but I am going to research and see if there are any alternatives!

Some are fine, they dont soak in through the skin! The one I use is definately safe, I even checked with my GP, took the container in and everything !!
