I've always been waxed when I'm pregnant and for me the most important appointment is just before the birth.
If someone's going to be examining my 'lady garden' I want it well pruned.
Just try to ensure she's in a comfortable position when being waxed, I'm currently 31 wks pregnant and can't lie on my back unless I'm well propped up.
Try to wax her a few days before the c section if possible so the skin has time to recover.

I went on my waxing course yesterday and my working partner was 25 wks pregnant, our trainer said that its not a problem.

I bikini waxed my sister the night before she went into labour.
She's never forgiven me for 'starting her off', and blames me for her baby being born bald :green:
LOL

No problem waxing but make sure she doesn't lay flat for longer than 20 mins as it can stop oxygen getting to the baby. In reality though, a pregnant woman would naturally move about to get comfortable anyway. xxx

I've found the same, no problems ever waxing anyone who's been pregnant...I even once had a lady in who was overdue, and so desperate to start her contractions off that she came in for a bikini wax! Think she was hoping to shock herself into labour!!! (Don't know whether it worked though...!)

Can i just ask...is this a new thing...?? I slept on my back for 9 hours a night when pregnant cos i couldn't sleep any other way.

I know recommendations change all the time so thought i would ask. x

Just what the docs say Angie. Although you slept on your back, you probably wriggled around without realising it. xxx

As long as the lady is comfortable, there shouldn't be a problem. I couldnt lie on my back for too long either when heavily pregnant.. but I knew when I had to move before feeling faint.

Just a note though.. I had to have a C-sec with my last baby and had to be completely hair free over the pubic bone which is just below the c-sec line. Maybe she would want this hair removing too while you are doing the bikini?
