    I would have if I could have reached/seen the area, but, as it was, shaving my LEGS was hard enough!!!

    Good luck.

    No. Not in preparation for any of my births.

    I did not shave my last pregnancy & labor, and always thought what the hell my doctor's seen it all. But now after reading so many care enough to be presentable down there, I think I feel a little embarrassed and I have decided next time I will do what it takes to get that neat look.

    I hate to be crude and all, but having seen many women have babies, not that many really cared about being 'presentable'. Next point, the doctors, midwives, nurses, etc, don't care either.

    I totally agree with swissair. I would just worry about yourself. I didn't do anything more than a normal shave of the legs. I really doubt your ob or midwife or nurse will even notice. And think about how uncomfortable it could be when the hair grows back!

    If I cared about anything at all, it would be to give myself an enema when I go into labor. I'm sure you can guess why. I'd probably shave my legs too, but I'm not prone to uncontrollable hairiness, so maybe not.

    Ask all the questions you would never ask your friends.

    that was totally the very last thing on my mind. Seriously. Besides, who needs the itch you're inevitably going to get when you're trying to recover?

    ETA: I was way more concerned about pooping during delivery, which I did not do, but it was my irrational concern in the moment (funny what we all worry about).
