Pregnant women - can I ask a personal question?

I'm 8 months pregnant and can't see my bikini line or reach it comfortably to em...tidy it up , I don't want to go to a salon for a waxing, is it ok to use veet cream when pregnant as I could probably manage to slap some of that on? What do all you other pregnant women do?

I wouldnt, why dont you want to go to a salon?

Could your partner not shave you?

Veet's safe to use, AFAIK, although you might find your skin is a little more sensitive than usual. I'm due in a couple of weeks and I'm just going to have a trim up with scissors and a mirror. I'm not bothered about my bikini line as such (I do have very fair hair) but from a post-pregnancy bleeding POV it might be nicer and cleaner to have shorter hair.

I'm plucking up the courage to do it though! I've been thinking about it for days and the idea of having to trim whilst looking in a mirror (I haven't been able to see my ladygarden for months!) fills me with trepidation

Get hubby to shave you 2cm below bikini line..

If you end up needing an emegancy c section they will shave you, better to do it first...

Have you used it before? It really burnt me when I used it down there!

That's what I was thinking too!

When youre in labour you wont care whether it reaches your knees to be honest.
