Is Bikini Waxing Ok During Pregnancy

I don't see why not. It's not bothering your baby in anyway, just your skin.

I use Nair and my doc said it's fine.

Hi N.,
It's fine to wax during pregnancy, but your skin will be more sensitive, sort of like it is just before you get your peroid.
Best,

Good Morning N.. I would talk with your OB before any waxing and ask her opinion. But I have read in several sources that it is not recommended. As during pregnancy your blood vessels are closer to the surface and can be more painful and possible bleeding. Now don't quote me on that some people may have waxed during pregnacny and been fine. But I had read that in seeral sources so check with your OB or OB nurse. Good Luck and Congrats on your new addition.

If you do decide to do it... Get a live aloe plant, break off part of the leaf and use the gel to soothe the area. Because it's natural, it won't clog the pores. Wear underwear you don't care about when you use it, as it may stain. Aloe will also help with the healing.

And eeeew... Nair is nasty! It's loaded with chemicals, so can give you irritation and burning. Not a good place to be burning, especially if you get some you-know-where.

I waxed thru my whole pregnancy. I actually had a wax the same day I delivered, but I didnt know I would be delivering that day. I had an emergency c-section due to pre-clampsia. At least it saved me from getting shaved for the surgery! LOL....
I think it is fine, but check with your doctor if you are nervous.

Hi N., I continued to get bikini waxes up until I delivered. Towards the end of my pregnancy though it would get more and more difficult to lay flat on my back and have it done. Luckily the gal I see is quick and I was not on my back too long. I checked with my OBGyn and he said it was fine so long as I wasn't uncomfortable.
If you are interested, I see a gal named Hope over at Gene Juarez in Redmond ###-###-####. Very nice lady! And is a hoot to talk to.

Congrats on your new addition,

Hi - I waxed when I was pregnant and it was fine. It does hurt more and I always washed up at home afterward to get the oily stuff off they put on, but otherwise I was fine with it. You may want to talk to your OB just to make sure but I had no issues.

Hi N.,
I am a mother of three and had my bikini waxed during all of my pregnancies. You may be a bit more sensitive or bruise but it is worth it.

N.... my doc. said it was fine... i waxed right b4 i delivered out of vanity... just wanted to be a bit tidier :) personally it wasn't any more or less painful than when i wasn't pregnant... good luck :)

I did it when I was pregnant and there was no problem. But with MRSA out in the world I would be more hesitant.

Yes, I did wax until I was about 5 months pregnant but my skin was more sensitive than normal so I ended up stopping at that point but my waxing lady told me that she gets a lot of pregnant women the whole time so it will just depend on your pain tolerance. Good luck :)

It's fine. You might be more sensitive so if you are ok with this, take a couple of tylenol before you go to make it more comfortable.
