I usually get waxing done regularly for hair removal, but now that I'm pregnant, I'm not sure if it's still safe. Can I continue to wax during pregnancy, or should I avoid it?
I was so scared of waxing in my first trimester thinking the pain or stretch would affect the baby, and I panicked over every small hair! But honestly, my gynac said it's totally fine as long as the wax is not too hot. It is completely safe, just tell the salon girl to be a bit gentle.
It's totally safe to wax, but watch out for the smell of the wax which can trigger nausea if you have bad morning sickness. I remember throwing up in the salon once because the chocolate wax smell was too strong! Go for normal or cold wax and make sure the room is well ventilated.
Honestly, wax if you have the energy because once the baby comes, you won't even get time to brush your teeth, let alone wax! I haven't seen a parlor in months now. Do it now and enjoy the clean feeling while you can!
Arey, it's absolutely fine, there is no harm to the baby. Just avoid waxing your tummy area if you feel uncomfortable, and stick to arms and legs. Just ensure the parlor is clean and hygienic to avoid any infections, that's it.
Actually I'm in my 2nd trimester right now and so confused about this. My skin has become super sensitive and I'm scared waxing will hurt more than usual. Anyone else felt more pain while waxing during these months?
Yes, it is safe, but honestly parlor bills can add up so much during these months when we need to save for hospital delivery and expensive scans. I started doing simple shaving or using epilator at home to save some money for the baby fund. Har choti bachat counts!
