As long as your water hasn’t broken, I’d still get waxed. Do not shave. Better to let it be then shave!

I saw a TikTok that docs and nurses do not care what we look like down there.
Dilation isn't something they can see when waxing, and it poses no increased risks of infection harming pregnancy. It's when your water breaks that infection is a concern.
As long as you're physically comfortable getting a wax (ie know that the increased blood makes you more sensitive and can increase the pain factor and ok lying on your back on the table for the process), go for it!
I used to go to European Wax Center for Brazilians and they were very accommodating with my pregnant belly, constantly checking on my comfort and doing alternative positions for the process.
Not doing it for doctors more just want things to be cleaned up bc I don’t trust them doing it for me lol. That and I’m using my last days of pregnancy by going to the pool and floating around like a whale 😂 it’s been easing my cramps (maybe contractions?) and it’ll be a long time before I go back, obviously.

Oooh, get a pedicure too!
If you are doing it for you then I’d say you’re fine to wax. If it’s for the doctors, just leave it. They see so many ladies downstairs that it doesn’t even phase them.

Aren’t you already uncomfortable enough?! Haha I wouldn’t get waxed personally - I did clean up down there just with an electric razor / trimmer bc I didn’t want to risk an ingrown hair or anything, but honestly I really don’t think anyone cares.
You will be amazed at how quickly any shame about your body just goes out the window.
Got a pedicure and did the wax. It was painful but I told myself it is not as bad as labor will be 😅😭 I feel a lot better now that the anxiety of doing it is gone. 10 days till induction day!

I got waxed at 38 weeks, just a couple days before going into labor so I was probably a cm dilated. All was good!

Getting waxed in third trimester does hurt a little more. Take Tylenol before!
I second getting that wax, it’ll be helpful to have things cleaned up down there if you need to heel stitches etc.
