How am I going to prepare for a natural birth when I could hardly handle a Brazilian wax?! 😣🤦🏾♀️ So I usually have my hair removed with laser hair treatments. Since finding out I was pregnant, my OB doesn’t recommend going while pregnant and my last laser appointment was late July (like -5 weeks from conception). I’m going on vacation soon and will be out of the country for 5 weeks so I didn’t want to have to worry about shaving while gone, so I decided to get a wax of stomach, full Brazilian and thighs (super hairy). Yall, the wax lady started on my stomach and at that moment I knew I had messed up 😂 it was so unpleasant and I can’t imagine ever getting another wax of any body part! But this experience made me realize that I am gonna need a lot of support and mental preparation for labor. I want to experience a natural labor and now I’m wondering like how will I survive labor pains if I struggled with a 30-45 min wax. 😩
Should I Wax For Childbirth?
- Some women prefer to remove hair in the perineal area (the area between the vagina and anus) before childbirth. The idea behind this choice is that it may make it easier to keep the area clean during labor and reduce the risk of infection.
- Hair removal can be done by shaving, waxing, using depilatory creams, or other methods. If you choose to remove hair, it's advisable to do so a few days before the expected due date to allow any potential irritation to subside.
- Other women choose not to remove hair and opt for a more natural approach during childbirth. Many healthcare providers and birthing professionals emphasize that hair removal is not a medical requirement for childbirth.
- Keeping hair as is may be more comfortable for some women, as hair can help to provide a barrier and protection against potential friction or chafing during labor.
- The most critical factor in this decision is the mother's comfort and sense of agency. It's essential to feel at ease and confident during labor, and this includes considering your comfort with your body and appearance.
- Communicate your preferences with your healthcare provider and birthing team. They will respect your choices and support you in any decision you make.

Question: I always do my own Brazilian wax because hair comes out thinner, but now that I’m pregnant; it’s thick. I feel like it’s pointless and painful to wax. Should I shave and just wait towards the end to wax again? 💀
