Waxing During Pregnancy – Can You Wax While Pregnant? Towards the end of my first pregnancy with my firstborn, it seemed that everyone else (who was also soon to give birth) was doing it. Those of us who didn’t were more than happy to sit back and put off any form of pain until labour arrived. We listened in awe at the bravery of those who dared to tackle the lure of the wax! But this pregnancy, if it wasn’t for my husband going overseas for two weeks and me being excited by the sheer surprise factor it would create on his return, I probably wouldn’t have done it this pregnancy either! I’d been through labour. It couldn’t possibly be that bad, right? I became nervous as I pondered the thought – I even started to envisage the wax as a 15 minute appointment with a drug-free labour, but hoped for much better! I wonder if I screamed loud enough, they would let me have an epidural? Just days before in an online discussion on waxing, I made it quite that I would never, ever get a bikini wax, due to hearing too many horror stories of bleeding, bruising and other eye-watering and leg-crossing injuries. It was just something I would absolutely not dare to contemplate. However, soon after (in a perhaps crazy and unpredictable pregnant state of mind), I began to think in a totally different light! I thought about how sick of regrowth from shaving or creams I was, which seemed to appear after what only seemed like a few hours. Not to mention the insane itchiness that puts even a flea-ridden dog to shame! Weeks of no regrowth or itching all of a sudden became very enticing. Of course not to mention the fact that hubby might enjoy coming home to a complete and utter surprise, especially after two weeks of being apart from each other. Fun. I’d changed my mind. Is It Safe To Wax While Pregnant? My obstetrician at the time assured me that waxing is perfectly safe while pregnant. So I was going to find out exactly what goes on in the waxing room, for the very first time.
