Thanks Mamas!

Use a razor that is dedicated to just your bikini area (not one you use on your armpits or hubby's face). Wash the area before you shave and use shaving cream or body wash for lubrication (sorry, I couldn't think of a better word). I find if I shave every other day, I don't get bumps. If I try to go more days in between, the bumps come back. Good luck witht he shaving and the baby.

Have you considered getting waxed? I have only had a couple of bikini waxes, but I got no bumps afterwards, and stayed much smoother longer.

Shave in the direction of the hair growth, so I guess that would be down instead of up. It works well and I never have bumps. Use a brand new razor and you will get a really close shave.

Use shaving cream while shaving and use a good cream/lotion afterward.
