Q: Bikini Waxing Safe In Pregnancy?

Does anybody know if it's safe or not to get a bikini wax during a pregnancy? Or could the pain cause harm to the baby?


All replies are very much appreciated!

I don't think it would harm the baby but it might cause your blood pressure to go up a bit.I don't know if thats harmful.Also you might want to check out what chemicals are used for it and ask your doctor

i'm an .Estitician and used to work at an .Aveda salon. Our largest customer for the bikini wax was pregnant women!! When I was pregnant, there was noooo way I was waxing my bikini!! The only reason why we wouldn't recommend it is because your nerve endings, while pregnant, are extreemely sensitive. The pain is immense!! There is a spray that you can buy by ".Gili' that numbs the area. You can get this at an .Sallys .Beauty .Supply! It doesn't work miracles, but it helps!!

Hey sarah,did you ever see anything really gross?Just wondering,lol. And do you have to do anything before you go get waxed,like trim or anything. I have never been so I don't know if I should let it grow out (eeew!) or what.

bikini waxing safe while pregnant? Yes!
I asked my doctor and she said it was so I did but I was always getting a brazillian wax before pregnancy so for me it was a little more painful but as soon as its finished the pain was gone and i'm glad I continued with it while I'm pregnant because I don't like hair down there seems to grow back quicker since i've been pregnant too I go every 5 to 6 weeks
