Some advice on pubes. TMI

[redbear]

Im posting on hear to offer some strange advice for you ladies due soon
Before i had my baby on tri three we discussed trimming the forest a lot - so a few days before labour i veeted, which was fine, but i needed stitches after labour... And its very painful
I dare not veet because it will sting and i dare not shave because of the stitches.... and now its growing back... and itches like fook... which is horrible as i cant do anything because it hurts so much....
So my advice would be to leave the pubes alone! I wish i had as when i actually went into labour i couldn't care less about the forest, especially when they are shoving stuff up your bum and stitching you up after... pubes are the nicest thing a midwife will look at!!

Sorry for the TMI but hopefully i will save someone some discomfort!!

Seriously think of the after effects... it never occured to me that i wouldnt be able to sort myself out afterwards! xx

 

[Verity2011]

[JensBump]

Just gave it a wee trim with the scissors LOL but now I will def not worry about doing anything further - thanks for sharing the advice

 

[Mrs. KM]

I got rid of my garden a few weeks ago as I hated the feelin of hair down there. Had it off again yesterday but think I will leave it now, especially as I could go into labour any day

Thanks hun x

Hope Alice is behaving herself xx

 

[redbear]

Yeh honest ladies i wish someone had come back and warned me! I dont mind hair and i dont mind bald but in between is just stubbley horridness!!!

Leave it be ladies

Alice is wonderful such a laid back baby, she sleeps most of the time, last night she woke up at 5am for a feed and bum change and had to be woken up this morning for a feed! So im only having to get up for half hour in the night, couldnt ask for much better just FX it lasts!! xx

i agree but for a different reason. i veeted the whole area a couple of weeks ago as couldnt see down there to do anything different. i wish i hadnt. its a horrible stubbly mess when growing back, very unfomfortable with ingrowing hairs and beacuse i cannot see down there its very hard to sort out the ingrowing hairs! i have to get in very twisted positions with a mirror and even then it doesnt always work!

 

[Zoeox]

Think i will take your advice

[hugsy]

Ah thanks hun will defo be taking that advise , did try blindly to do my garden yesterday with the razor part of my epilator but its no easy task anyway and think i will leave it to grow from now on lol

Great to hear how well Alice is doing lucky you gettin lots of sleep

This may be a silly question, but if you need stitches would they shave/trim down the area around the wound first anyway?

 

[redbear]

I dunno carly good question they didnt with me, although i had shaved before so maybe they didnt nned to i dont even know where they stiched it could be just inside but it hurts too much to check!! But im sure a little stubby patch would be better than the whole thing itching.


Hugsy- yeh loving having a lazy baby making the most of it while it lasts!! Only awake once again last night for a feed and bum change and back to sleep within about half hour xx

 

[CarlyD]

Yeah I'm def taking this advice! I'm gonna deal with the irritating regrowth now rather than after when I'll be uncomfortable enough anyway! Will wait until I'm fully healed before I start worrying about how down there looks lol x

 

[muffinferon]

Thanks for this, saves me worrying about the extremely huge forest down there lol

Just have to hope midwives seen worse than me

 

[redbear]

Well its ot like you can do anything for six weeks after the birth anyway so may aswell let it go wild xx

 

[Esperanza84]

My local hospital actually advice you NOT to shave from one month before your duedate, due to a bigger risk of infection as well. Got a letter from them telling me this...lol!

 

[GregorysGirl]

My mum advised the same, lol. I think just a considerable trim will do

I went for a wax with a new girl recently.... It was hilarious when she told me I'd had a "playboy" wax.... Haahaaahaaa I'm so far from the playboy mansion right now it's funny. I have to say it was painful but only takes 15mins and well worth it as nice a neat now. Plus when it grows back there is no itching at all. If you are tempted to trim, just go for the wax!
