  • I assume you can I think it just hurts more as your body is more sensitive, I could be completly wrong though my friend had regualr waxing during her pregnacy.... dont rely on me though!

  • I carried on having my waxing done throughout both my pregnancies and it was fine, it did hurt me more than it usually does though, especially my eyebrows

    yeh you can (its my job) but i only had it done a few times when i was pregnant as for i got sensative skin . if any new hairs grow in funny places dont get them waxed they should drop out after pregnancy
  • Yep, perfectly safe.

    Afterall, all we're doing is removing hairs, not changing the structure of the skin :D

    As has been mentioned though, you may find that you're more sensitive to the pain - it's much like getting waxed when you have your period.

    congrats btw x
