Is anyone having to have this? I am wondering why I have to have this. I've read the leaflet and out of all the symptoms it is because my BMI is high. I am literally sick of hearing it 😭😭😭

A question I’ve had going round in my head on repeat over the last few days. I’m currently 30 weeks pregnant and concerned about shaving down there… I can’t really reach now for a start… if you don’t mind, could you please talk about your experiences?
