Q about pubes, midwives and c-sections

[helpimfalling]

I didn't have a c-section but I did totally maintain my regular defuzzing thoughout the whole of my pregnancy - tbh I am so used to shaving i didn't actually need to look whilst i did it and there was no problem....I'd have felt very uncomfortable going for my midwife appointments without being shaved and having things "neat".

I had an emergency c-sec for dd2 & got the dry bid treatment. With dd1 I'd used a trimmer to trim down there but it was awkward so wasn't exactly perfectly neat.
I spoke to a retired midwife once about tears and management of them and with experiences midwives, they can see the "buttoning" which happens before the tear. So in my head I've interprettwd that to mean a smooth hair free undercarriage might be helpful.

I was under the impression that my Csection on Monday would involve a dry shave . I really didn't fancy this so had a bikini wax last Saturday- bejeezus did it hurt! The beauty lady was almost crying for me wincing.

I just got her to tidy up the straggly side bits and whip a strip across the top. OUCH!!!!!!!!! I then went home a trimmed the rest in the mirror to reduce the hair amount


Quite glad I did this though as the stitches are in that top waxed area

I've has 2 sections, one emergency and one elective and wasn't shaved either time.

I did trim it all back both times though so maybe that helped

My OH kept mine in shape during my pregnancy, and about a week before I gave birth I asked him to do it one last time...I figured as an art teacher, his hand should be quite steady

I used hair removal cream, very crudely smeared it across the top and both sides, made me feel slightly better about the whole process.

I wasn't shaved with my section. I did have a trim though...I couldn't see and nearly cut myself

I kept mine uptogether but still had a bit of bic treatment, I did have a bit of a moment a couple weeks later when I thought my scar was going a bit nasty but thankfully was just an ingrown hair.
