Little personal but how is everyone keeping their privates clean of pubic hair?

I can barely reach or see anything at 38 weeks. Been trimming but not too down below. I feel like my doc/midwives are so going to judge me and be grossed out when birthing or stitching or whatever with the view right in their face 🫣🫣 what's the safest way to keep it clean of hair right now? And how awkward and embarrassing is it really?

They are 10000% not going to judge or be grossed out, they see it multiple times a day and I always think ‘they’ve definitely seen worse’ 🤣 but generally just shaving blind and by touch 😅 might have a go with a mirror at some point. But honestly I wouldn’t worry about it at all x

I've been shaving by feel up until this point. Patchy and tragic 🤣 I will be using woowoo cream before birth.

Honestly you don't care by that point 😂 but tbh most of the time they don't recommend being completely clean shaven as the regrowth can be really irritating especially if you have stitches ect

I’ve been using woowoo hair removal cream, super gentle and doesn’t irritate!

I ended up asking my husband to shave me a week before my induction as inwas told your not to shave a week before birth as increased risk if infection which confused me but even he couldn't get it all and in that time a.fair.bit grew bk but they were not bothered at all and reasure u they ain't bothered xxx

Honestly, I've tried to trim the top so it's tidy-ish (by feel mostly) so it doesn't crept out of my undies 😬 but even that's difficult now. My OH had to do it for me the other day as I just couldn't work it out, just enough so it's not a massive bush (which I find more uncomfortable than anything else)!!! 😅 But honestly, they don't care, they really don't, I imagine they'd be more shocked by a perfectly kept area than anything else. Having been through IVF for a couple of years and having sooooo many intimate exams and check ups, I'm kinda like, ok, legs up go for it. 🤣 Not something I ever thought I'd be so comfortable with but hey ho. 🤣🤣🤣

Personally I just feel for it hahaa or get a mirror down there while sitting on side of the bath with legs wide open lol I know my vagina pretty well from shaving all these years so I just pretend I can see😂 if that doesn’t work definitely get someone in to help you lol don’t worry about midwifes they see about 80 hairy Fanny’s a week😂xx

My husband has been doing mine for me 🙈 going to do one last trim in a couple of weeks as I’m due in just over 4 🙈 xx

I’m at the point where I don’t care! Had enough of giving a crap about having a hairy foo foo! 😂 they will not care about hair and I’m sure they’ve seen enough ahah xx

People poo themselves pushing they're really not bothered by a but of hair! Equally they're not bothered by poo, I was throwing up everywhere in one labour and they never batted an eyelid

I don't think you'd be judged they would see all sorts..but if ur like myself and like it fresh no hair ,I'm 38 weeks and have just been feeling to shave then check in a small handheld bathroom mirror mind you iv only been shaving every 2 weeks now while pregnant I will shave b4 my section on Thursday x

They are not going to judge or be bothered about what you look like down there at all. I’ve given up and can’t be bothered to attempt it now at 37 weeks but as a lot of people said just do it by touch and hope for the best

I never did before I was pregnant so not about to start now 🤣

I’ve always waxed and surprisingly have continued to get it waxed. Probs helps that I had it somewhat lasered as well some years ago so don’t grow too much. Literally found that it stopped the itching I started to get during pregnancy too😅 x
