Is it safe to wax or epilate stomach hair during pregnancy?

I'm 19 weeks along and have grown alot more hair on my stomach - is waxing or epilating safe or not?Is it safe to wax or epilate stomach hair during pregnancy?
according to my doc, no waxing is necessary. It will go away after you deliver. And from the sound of it, excess hair sounds like higher testerone levels...(boy)


but that's just an old wives' taleIs it safe to wax or epilate stomach hair during pregnancy?
I am really sorry but I cant find anything what so ever on this subject. I wouldnt do it though, just to be on the safe side until you get a chance to speak to your midwife, I usually shave mine lol
I think waxing is safe but you should ask your doctor before doing it.
im not sure if you can , however when i was pregnant i had the same thing , and although i had my legs waxed , bu tthe beauty therapist wouldnt wax my stomach , she said it was no possible , and would go , and most of it did,so unless the rules have changed its not safe , to be honest i foudn things even more sensitive during pregnancy , and if you were to try to epilate your stomach it may well be very very painful more so than normal.


Perhaps you could just bleach it with jolen until you deliver...?


best of luck anyway in what ever you decide


can i add please don tshave it i did , it then wont go at all as you have stimulated the folicle more , if you shave it now you will have to shave it for ever , if you can put up with it......obviously its up to you but i never had a hairy stomach until i shaved as i coudlnt wax , it then didnt go away so now i have to epilate it all the time and its getting better , just to clarify my youngest of 3 babies is 6 now....and that is years....lol so please try to just ignore it some how until you deliver....
i wouldnt i have the same problem but if your that worried shave it dont wax it. i think sometimes in motherhood you have to do things you dont want to i know it doesnt make you feel sexy or anyhthing but once your little one is here then is the best time becasue you dont have to worry about harming her or him. good luck and congrads
