Have a function coming up and thinking of getting waxed but thoda hesitant now that im pregnant. Im in second trimester. Is it actually safe or better to skip? pls share.
I got it done once in my second trimester, but the pain was quite intense because of the extra blood circulation in the pelvic area. If you decide to go, tell the aesthetician to be very gentle and use a soothing lotion afterward.
It's safe, but who has the patience for that extra pain right now? Shaving or using a trimmer at home is much more practical and saves time. If you still want to get it done, go to a trusted, professional place to prevent any skin tears or infection.
It is safe, but honestly, it hurts way more during pregnancy because the skin is highly sensitive. If you do go, make sure the salon is extremely hygienic to avoid any infections. Personally, I shifted to simple trimming or shaving in the third trimester.
With my PCOS history, my skin was already very sensitive during pregnancy. Getting a Brazilian wax can be extra painful now because of increased blood flow down there. It's generally considered safe, but check with your doctor first if you have any sensitivity or skin issues.
