When I got home from the hospital and my stomach had deflated, I was horrified at what I saw. I should have temporarily suspended my lifetime ban on professional bikini waxes. I feel your pain.
Ah, yeah, had to ask the hubby to go in for a trim over the weekend. He said yes, but later, and of course it still hasn’t happened. What’s not to look forward to?
Haha! When I was pregnant with the girls and my belly was spare-tire like, I had no problem shaving until the end of my pregnancies. With the boy I had the protruding basketball belly and couldn’t see a damn thing. I went at it blindly and just hoped my gyno wasn’t snickering at what I’m sure was the most uneven job she’d ever seen!

HA HA! I remember those days. I even had a fleeting thought of letting the hubby do a little “grooming” for me down there. But, I just waited and only shaved in the last month or so to be prepared for the BIG DAY. No other action goin’ on down yonder at that time, YA KNOW?
I remember getting to the point where the leg-shaving just wasn’t going to happen anymore. I felt a little odd at the OB Gyn’s office—having my handsome doctor poke around between my hairy legs. Whatchagonna do?
oh how i know what you mean! i REALLY need to tidy up down there but last time I tried, I ended up looking like I was mauled by a teeny tiny tiger. Now that my stomach has dropped I cant even see a sliver of what I would need to, to try and guide myself in the mirror. I am announcing in the labor room “Abandon all hope, ye who enter (or exit) here”

Hubby does it for me - with 2 kids it’s a bit of an opportunity for me to lay down and relax. He’s happy to do it as frequently as I ask him, since he gets the side benefits after each trim.
I had been mystified by the “thicket” as I took to callibng it until I had a sudden realization when I started loosing my pregnancy hair that they weren’t just talking about the hair on your head.
I probably shouldn’t share this, but my hayhay is usually haywire, even in the non-pregnant state.

tell me about it. i was planning on trimming the hedge this week but unless Shan is going to help, I just don’t think I can reach my arms around that belly just now. Sorry doctor, I hope you’ve seen much, much worse than me.

I’m crossing my legs in sympathy.
I vote for asking Mr. Flinger to put on his barber hat.
I say, YOU cant see it… who cares? Well, cant see, CAN feel…. I think I just butchered. Its been almost 2½ years and I still dont think its quite “right.”
I’m due March 23rd and I can’t even see down there anymore. I’m going to either have to let it get all jungle like or trust my husband to tend to it for me. Not sure which is worse.
Hand mirrors.
I cleaned everything up just hours (well, maybe a day) before I went into labor - because I knew afterwards it’d become a forest before I felt like doing anything there for a while. And I was measuring like 44-45cm at the end there.
It’s winter…I don’t shave anything above my knees. There. Now you know my big secret.
When I was preggo with my first two (both born in February), I only trimmed up before the appointments where I knew I would be “checked,” and of course before the big delivery. With this one, it looks like I’ve got to come up with a better game plan because I’m due June 22 and I fully plan on being the beached whale at the pool from Memorial Day to Delivery Day. (Southern humidity and pregnancy DO NOT mix well).
You expect nothing less from me, though, right? I mean, blunt wise.
Y’all, the “give the man the scissors” idea is just swell and all but that might lead to something and, ahem, if I’m so round already so as to not see down there? I’m so round as to not want to be poked down there. Which is another post altogether.
there are professionals who will remedy this situation for you, and who will not ask to fuck you when they are done. of course, you still pay them, but that’s beside the point…
Okay, then seriously. Get yourself a hand mirror propped up with something (I used a pillow), a towel to sit on, and do your business. If I can do it at 40w2d, you can certainly do it now. It also counts as cardio IMO, so then you’d be set exercise-wise for the day.
I’ve never done professionals either… I’m too cheap.

Hey - it was YOU that posted the hayhay hair dye link - I say go with magenta!
My legs are in pretty bad shape and I’m not pregnant! Can you imagine what my bushes are looking like?! Lets just say my curtains definitely match my carpet right now. Not the usual hard wood floors if you know what I mean.
Oh man…I’m not quite there yet…but getting close, at that point…I may just let the grass grow. No point in dancing around like and idiot all day from nicks and cuts- I need my energy to do something else.

The no seeing down there part? Really, really got on my nerves during my pregnancy. I feel for you.

Good luck with the weed wacking!
Once I got too fat to see, I was too fat to care. I figured this was one of those things I could get away with by using the pregnancy card.
Yes, those little, compact mirrors sure do come in handy. When they don’t fog up, that is.
I probably shouldn’t share this, but my hayhay is usually haywire, even in the non-pregnant state.

You are too funny lady. I am not prego and I end up bleeding every damn time. ouch for sure.

Just when I thought you couldn’t get any more blunt…......

LMAO!
I just have one thing to say… VEET. I couldn’t live with out it. Just don’t leave it on too long… you’ll peel and THAT is not pretty.
Ummm…. now I’m confused… were you talking about legs or not? Because I wasn’t…
No, Lanna. I most certainly am not talking legs (although that’s starting to look like an overgrown forest on it’s own)
Professionals. I’ve never done that. Ever. The only (other) people to see this hayhay are the nurses and docs at the clinic and hospital.
I hope they won’t give me the same face the ladies that do my pedicure give. (apparently I have very calloused feet)

(made me google ‘pubic hair dye’)
We have a hedge trimmer and weed wacker in storage if you want to borrow either… just don’t forget protective eyewear.
At this point, does it really matter?

dear god i just spit whatever i’m drinking.
i remember those days and trusting my husband to do the job for me. when it got to that point, i was a bit depressed.
