Either way, it\u2019s a common query among expecting moms-to-be. \u201cIt\u2019s been getting harder and harder to keep things looking good down there\u2014I think I pulled a muscle trying to reach around and make sure everything is [shaved],\u201d says\u00a0lxsebring2002<\/a>, a community member on The Bump. She\u2019s far from the only one dealing with this hairy situation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

If you\u2019re looking to swap your shaving gel for some warm wax, you might be questioning if it\u2019s safe to get a Brazilian wax during pregnancy.

Can You Get a Brazilian Wax While Pregnant?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Good news, it\u2019s safe to get a Brazilian wax for low-risk pregnancies, says\u00a0Sherry Ross<\/a>, MD, an ob-gyn and women\u2019s health expert.\u00a0Shay Sadrolashrafi<\/a>, an esthetician in Florida and co-founder of Wakse, adds you can do it in your first, second or third trimester\u2014even as you in on your due date.\u201d In fact, many expectant moms actually prefer waxing as pregnancy progresses, since it becomes harder and harder to shave.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Keep in mind, though, that your skin may be especially sensitive, thanks to those pesky pregnancy hormones. \u201cThe experience could be slightly more uncomfortable than usual,\u201d Sadrolashrafi says.<\/p>\n

When Should You Avoid Brazilian Waxes During Pregnancy?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

If you\u2019re dealing with a high-risk pregnancy or are prone to skin irritations and infections in the area, you\u2019ll want to hold off on getting a Brazilian wax while pregnant, Ross says. It\u2019s also not a good idea if you have uncomfortable skin sensitivities or\u00a0melasma<\/a>, as \u201cthe waxing process can lead to inflammation and irritation, potentially making the condition worse,\u201d Sadrolashrafi says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Lastly, you\u2019ll likely need to hold off on getting a Brazilian wax in the few weeks after giving birth. This is to ensure the area has properly healed, Sadrolashrafi explains. Like many other\u00a0postpartum activities<\/a>, it\u2019s important to get the green light from your provider before resuming waxing.<\/p>\n
