It is recommended not to have it done within the first 3 months of pregnancy but there is no proof not too more so because it is a vulnerable time for the baby and growth and all that jazz. I am 8 months pregnant and got waxed at 3 months and 7 months. Found I bruised a lot easier than normal and it lasted a lot longer (the bruising that is) at 7 months than at 3 months.
There is no reason that a woman can not get waxed while pregnant unless specified by the gp or midwife.

Not sure why that would be. Maybe someone else would know. I know that most people in the industry will say that waxing and pregnancy is fine.
I think I might go google that.....

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]Hair Changes[/FONT]
The hormone changes in pregnancy cause an increase in hair growth. Many pregnant women notice that their hair is thicker. Sometimes women grow hair in areas where they do not normally have hair, such as the face, chest, and arms. This new hair growth is called hirsutism and can be caused by the body's changing hormones. Your hair should return to normal within 6 months after you give birth.
If you see a lot of hair growing quickly on the face, chest, and abdomen, it could be a sign of a problem. Talk with your doctor if you are concerned.
It is fine to have the hair removed if it bothers you. Tweezing, waxing, shaving, and even laser hair removal, are all safe for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
About 3 months after delivery, most women begin to notice hair loss. This is because the hormones are returning to normal levels, which allows the hair to return to its normal cycle of growing and falling out. There is no medication that can prevent your hair from falling out, but keep in mind it is not permanent. Your hair should regrow completely within 36 months.
Spider Veins[/FONT] The increased amount of blood in your body during pregnancy can cause changes in your blood vessels. Tiny red veins, known as spider veins, may appear on your skin. Spider veins are most common during the first half of pregnancy. About two thirds of light-skinned pregnant women and about one third of dark-skinned pregnant women will have them on the face, neck, and arms. Again, the redness should fade after giving birth.
Spider Veins:
What are these? Spider veins, also known as spider nevi, are minute reddish tiny blood vessels that branch outward. These spider veins are also caused by the increase in blood circulation. They will usually appear on the face, neck, upper chest and arms. Spider veins do not hurt and usually disappear shortly after delivery. Spider veins appear more often in Caucasian women than in African American women.
What can I do? Increasing your vitamin C intake and not crossing your legs can help minimize spider veins. Spider veins may also be hereditary, in which case there is nothing you can do to prevent them. Fortunately, these will most likely fade shortly after delivery. Laser treatment can also be done to help remove any spider veins that have not faded away.

I waxed all the way through my pregnancy, even managed to do my own bikini line when I was about 35wks pregnant (with great difficulty!:lol

I was concerned when one of my lady clients reported that she was newly pregnant and I sought advice from BABTAC.
I was reassured that many ladies wax up until the day before the give birth, and as long as it was noted on the consultation / treatment record card, and that the customer signed to say she was happy to continue - I was fully covered.
Incidentally, she reported that the waxing was far more painful than previous treatments I had given her. She hasn't reported any side effects.
I've read that Tea Tree Oil products should be avoided - but I don't think I have any of those on my trolley anyway. Anyone heard the same?
