You know, honestly, I just did it blind! I couldnt see but I was just very careful and I did just fine. I didn't use any mirrors or anything, just be careful not to cut yourself!

Bridget - posted on 12/09/2009

Use clippers with the shortest extension on them. You won't cut yourself like you will with a razor and you usually can get all of it just by feeling around. Better than nothing!

mirror? ur husband or boyfriend? my exboyfriend was happy to do it for me? lol

Alina - posted on 12/09/2009

i am giggling a little because i just have my hubby do it for me. we have hair clippers so he just uses those. no fear of being cut that way plus, i trusted him to get me pregnant, so why not to help me....ummm......how should i say this.....trim the brush? i hope you figure it out. i know how uncomfortable it can be when you cant do the stuff you need to get done.

no worries with my son i asked my parnter lol i know lol but he did it for me.....

Nikkole - posted on 12/09/2009

LOL....totally normal...we are all adults here and have been through this a time or two! I usually had to sit in the bath tub with one of those round counter mirrors! I just filled the bathtub up enough to where it wouldnt float away. Then I would carefully just do my best!

I used a mirror and guessed :)

Brittany - posted on 12/09/2009

Well this may sond funny but i had my babyfather do it lol..he didnt mind =)

Chelsey - posted on 12/09/2009

Well with my first one i could do it at first but then i got to big and my hubby did it for me!Then with my second pregnacy i was prego with twins so you could just imagine how big i was..so i would just get a mirror and try my hardest to trim it but my hubby always had to follow up so i just let him do it!

i got my hubby to put hair removal cream on my legs then in the shower wipe it off when it was ready - quick and easy and I just had to stand there....

Ashley - posted on 12/09/2009

go get waxed. it might be a little uncomfortable at first but dont be embarrased, its her job. and it lasts way longer. you might only have to do it once before delivery.

Ashley - posted on 12/09/2009

I had the same question at first.. The best for me was definitely the mirror.. Much better than cutting yourself every time!! Although once I got so big, I stopped trying to shave near as often!!! I was lucky enough to just get my legs shaved! lol

Dawne - posted on 12/09/2009

I would ask my husband if he could shave down there for me. Cause it's not easy to shave there yourself. And when your pregnancy and it gets to the point that the things you could do before you got to big are the things that you ask for help on. Ask your husband ( Can you shave here for me cause I can't don't it). I'm sure he'll do so.

Ashley - posted on 12/09/2009

No need to be embaressed. A mirror could be handy, you can just let it go....or if you are comfortable enough (and trust him to do it), you can ask your man!

Ashley - posted on 12/09/2009

lol i did it without looking, i even tried to use a mirror, it was a little patchy, but if we can't see it then no biggy

Kristine - posted on 12/09/2009

I had the same problem! Solution- use hair removal cream! Of course I had to have help with that also but I didn't have to worry about my partner cutting me into a million pieces. That is what I plan on doing this time also! Good luck =)

Chelsea - posted on 12/09/2009

I just do it without looking, If I miss a spot, who cares. Sometimes my husband will shave me, then we get it on.

Brittany - posted on 12/09/2009

Haha...I remember them days! lol, I wasn't quite sure what to do so...I did my best but boy was I glad to be able to see what the heck i was doing after Shane was born! lol....after a certain point I just tried not to worry too much about it....you've got a pretty good excuse for not doing it don't you!? I had a ledge to use in the tub and still had decent balance so I somehow would hoist my leg way up to my waist height and do what I could. Mirrors are probably a good option though :-)



Wouldn't want to suggest that you try balancing...its a little dangerous, wet tub, one leg, unbalanced body as it is being so front heavy at that point...scary...good luck though!

Jasmine - posted on 12/09/2009

Lol i just left it i didn't care, im sure the doctors seen worse things then that lol, but after i had him i was so relievd to shave afatre lol

Julianne - posted on 12/09/2009

use a mirror!!

Rachael - posted on 12/09/2009

Have you thought of possibly being waxed? That way it stays away for a while.

Selina - posted on 12/09/2009

i was worried about that as well but when i told my husband i didnt know how to do it he voluntered to do it him self

Erica - posted on 12/09/2009

Quoting Kevlyn:

Quoting sam:

lol good question and its not wierd to ask everyone goes throught it.
i have 2 answers one use a mirror when u r on the loo or get ur parnter to do it if u r happy for him to do it its so much easy for u
hope it helps

i would be happy for him to do it if i trusted him with a razor.....lol....his hands shake really bad...I'm about to get to the point that i'm just not going to worry about it until baby is born and the doctor and hubby will just have to get over it....lol....b/c bending down to just shave my legs leaves me breathless....LOL

I know this might sound weird...but have him use da clippers....that's what my partner did when I was to big....but they told me i shouldn't shave because its easier to get bacteria down there that may cause an infection.....

Brenna - posted on 12/09/2009

I would just get your other half to do it lol..and i don't really think there are any dumb questions. I think thats one that runs through every ones head lol

Thera - posted on 12/09/2009

Well, thats when your significant other needs to step in:)

Tamika - posted on 12/08/2009

Prop the leg up in the shower or on the toilet and use a hand mirror.

Hayley - posted on 12/08/2009

Get it waxed by a beauty therapist then you won't need to worry about it!

Sandra - posted on 12/08/2009

honestly i didn't care, i had my son in the winter, and figured by that time i was not even gonna try. I got big fast so i was pretty hairy by that point im sure. but it was really the last thing on my mind.

Ashley - posted on 12/08/2009

I A. ignored it and said no one cares or

B. have the significant other do it if you can trust them! lol

Lauren - posted on 12/08/2009

Use a mirror, or ask your spouse if your comfortable letting him do it :)

Veronica - posted on 12/08/2009

Monique - posted on 12/08/2009

Sarah - posted on 12/08/2009

Kenlisha - posted on 12/08/2009

Candyce - posted on 12/08/2009

I eventually gave up.

They've seen furrier kittens on the pushing table. :D

Amber - posted on 12/08/2009

I made the husband do the shaving down there cause nothing else worked for me!!

Jennifer - posted on 12/08/2009

I squat in the shower and do my best...feel around...use a lil mirror so you can see better!!! Hope that helps!

Natasha - posted on 12/08/2009

noxema has a bikini razor that is super small and has a comb like attachment. these work extremely well. it's almost impossible to cut yourself with it and you don't really need to watch what you are doing.

Melissa - posted on 12/08/2009

My boyfriend did it for me and he even offered after I had complained about it! LOL
Being hairy and fat made me feel blah so it was really nice of him.

Keri - posted on 12/08/2009

bring a little mirror in the shower with you!

Jordan - posted on 12/08/2009

I just shaved the top and then got a mirror to do the rest..but at the very end I let it go until a few days before I was due just incase, thank god I did!

Breann - posted on 12/08/2009

you should treat yourself and reduce the stress by going to a spa and getting waxed or trimmed closer to your due date. it's really is not that expensive !

Valerie - posted on 12/08/2009

As painful as it may be, you could wax! I have a friend that is a massage therapist, but she also is trained in waxing, I seriously contemplated having her do it (because there is no way my husband could do it safely...LOL), luckily I was still able to shave through the whole pregnancy, I am sure the next one I will not be so lucky! I never bent over because...ow! But just kinda squat, I am sure by now you know your way around without really having to see, and if you need to see then use the mirror, squat don't bend. Good luck!

Annie - posted on 12/08/2009

Go with what Bianca White wrote. It's a very good tool or just get it waxed. When you wax...you don't have to worry about it for a good month or 2.

Jennifer - posted on 12/08/2009

Wax :)

Tricia - posted on 12/08/2009

try using a mirror to help you. or even ask your spouse to help, (if u can trust him) :)

Melissa - posted on 12/08/2009

I had my man do it for me. very intimate and he was very careful. though some people use a mirror.

Keyawna - posted on 12/08/2009

I agree with everyone. I used a mirror, had my husband do it, or when I went for my massages; I would have a brazilian wax.

Veronica - posted on 12/08/2009

Lol... I love it! I went by feel. I've been doing it so long there were no nicks it just took me a little longer. Go slowly. :)

Kyra - posted on 12/08/2009

I used a small hand held mirror.. I was huge... Thats how i did it
