To shave or not to shave????

Anyone's Dr's said anything about shaving? I am just wondering because I remember my aunt talking about it a few years back when she had her kid but I just realized my Dr. hasn't said anything about it at all. Any ideas?

shaving what? Down there?

I don't see what would be wrong it with?

I know a few years ago (or I've heard) that they used to shave women before labor because it was easier for them to see the babies head or something... but I think they stopped doing that. I dunno.

I always shave, it doesn't matter either way.

Quoting mcky:“ shaving what? Down there?”

Yep... down there.

as far as i know they dont care either way...my docter never seid anything about it. last time or this time.
its a personal opinion....i wouldent. more truble than its worth.

I'd say treat yourself good and get that waxed  

I cant see down there any more and find it difficult to shave but i do try lol! Im gonna get waxed near the time i think...
I haven't heard anything about them prefering it to be shaved   not sure

it used to be mandatory but now they only do it if they have to like an episiotomy but it's a personal thing now. Some woman are embarrassed for a dr to see them shaved and some are embarrassed for it not to be shaved. It's up to you and you have to do it yourself if you want it done

waxing love it...
do it
it doesnt hurt as much as people say

i do it anyway, but my dr hasn't mentioned it. I've heard it can be pretty uncomfortable after you have the baby if you don't.

Quoting *Gabriels Mommy*:“ I'd say treat yourself good and get that waxed  ”

Haha! I would... but... the one time that I actually did that I had ingrown hairs so bad that I hurt for like two weeks! I really wish that I reacted well to it because I would love to not worry about it for the weeks after the baby!

i had an episiotomy and i dident shave anything...the last thing you want to be thnking about is ingrown hairs....owch! its bad enough with just the normal pain.

When my Mum had all her kiddos, they would actually shave you themselves if you were too long lmao.

i wanna get waxed!
but... owie!

It used to be done... now it isn't anymore.

But yeah, even when my sister had her first son 20 years ago they would shave her.
