Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

Hi to all,

I know my question is somewhat weird, but I really need to know the answer. I am trying to conceive these days and I have scheduled an appointment with my doctor this week.

I want to know, should I remove my pubic hair whenever I visit my OB/GYN ? Do all pregnant ladies do it ? I feel, it is messy to do it every time & moreover it becomes very difficult to remove hair in the second half of pregnancy( due to big stomach). And finally, based on what I know, the chemical agents used in a hair-remover are not good for you & baby. I know shaving can be an option, but again its kind of troublesome with a big belly and hair become hard after shaving.

Please tell me ladies, is it necessary to remove the pubic hair while going for a check-up? Do all ladies do it ?

Any suggestions ?
