Yeah, I think I'll do it once a week from 37 weeks and then every 2 days from 40 (if I'm stuck here that long! LOL).

My TMI time. This is one area of pregnancy where I have not suffered. I have never been able to do much in that area, it is just way tooo sensitive. If I shave, I get the worst razor burn, everywhere I shave. It does not matter how I prep, what I use, how new the razor, what I use after. So shaving is out. Waxing, well it hurts horribly as I have massive roots according to the last person who waxed me. Then I broke out in a rash that lasted a week, which looked great on the beach. I have tried hair removal lotions, oh guess what, burned and broke me out in a rash, and jsut didn't really get rid of the hair. So I have learned to live with being more natural, and that electric razors are my friend. It is never smooth, but it is under control. AND thank everything above, my DH is cool with it all.

Thanks for all the laughs!

Friday night I finally broke down and HAD to shave my legs. I couldn't even remember how long it had been (at least 2 weeks, eeww) What an effort! HAD to sit in the tub this time and hike my leg up too- glad my OH didn't wander in

I can't shave my lady bits completely with a razor (just the sidelines), or wax or anything like that because of rashes like Samantha, but I do keep it trim with an electric razor. A few weeks ago my OH did it for me because I was so miserable and unable. Sweetest thing a man can do for a pregnant lady! Maybe I can sweet talk him into an encore!

ooooooh... I can't think of anything more uncomfortable than a shaved hoohah The growing back is horrendous, even just a days worth... I didn't realise so may women did it. Waxing is so much easier and longerlasting.... 10 mins of pain every 4-6 weeks versus shaving every day??? I know what I'd rather do

I tend to shave down there but worried about when I get bigger too. Mind you, have to move my bump around already when shaving.

Think I might resort to waxing soon. How long does it last, Ann-Marie?

Im just booking in for a wax at 38 wks. Can't be bothered anymore, too difficult!

I always tell myself that they must have seen far worse than mine anyway.

I didn't realise so many people shaved either, I never tried it. I could imagine it being dead uncomfortable when it grows back.
