Hi all

Ok I think most of you know me now so hopefully you wont think I am a trol
when I ask the following question!!! Well I am due at the end of January
and I have some weired but have to be asked questions coming up. One of
these questions is near to your due date would you fully shave down below
or just be trim and proper?


LOL, I had the same thought earlier in pregnancy, but now that I'm 34 wks
along I can tell you that I couldn't shave anything down there without
taking my life in my hands! Not only can I not see, I can barely reach
without getting into unstable positions. Plus you have to consider the itch
of regrowth or ingrown hairs coupled with recovery from perineal trauma.
I'm going for just trimming up with electric clippers with a good safety
guard. No regrowth issues, and still keeps things cleaner with lochia, etc.
Just to anticipate your next question , on the advice of several nurse
friends, I also intend to do an enema at home prior to going to the
hospital. I figure it can't really hurt and might make me less self
conscious about pushing. (although realistically it might make no
difference whatsoever on the "poop during pushing" issue...just give me a
false sense of security)

That's it for TMI for the day!
