My doctor and my sister's doctor both told me and my sister that it's an absolutely no to wax during pregnancy. He mentioned higher chances of swelling, increased sensitivity due to hormones and irritation, which is common with waxing in general.

My doctori said it was fine as long as it was just my legs and under arms, face and lady bits were a no because of hormones and swelling.

However do not use the hair creams like nair, that will cause massive irritations and could cause chemical burns.

Oh yes I was just thinking legs, I wasn't even thinking of ladies parts! Definitely ask your doctor first!

I assumed ladies parts, I think what my doctor said would relate to waxing in general because of your hormones being althroughout your body and not just in one place.

Yes shanae but your legs have a thinker epidermis and can handle a lot of abuse than your lady bits. And under arms would just depend on the person. Mine where fine but my friend couldn't go anywher near hers while pregnant even with a razor she'd get bad razor burn.

Yes, I know that. I assume it's just different for everyone. I didn't try it simply because it was doctors orders not to. I'm stating only what my doctor told me not to do and why not to do it.

You could always try it if your doctor said it's okay, but keep in mind the pros and cons of what could happen.

I waxed thru 3 pregnancies and experienced zero issues. Brows, and bikini area. Now if someone was diagnosed with gestational diabetes then it makes sense to avoid waxing because diabetics take longer to heal and if they experience a burn or a cut they risk possible infection which creates a whole other set of issues. You have to go off what is advised by your doctor as he or she knows your current medical history.

I would ask your doctor just cause every doctor says something different, my doctor said it was ok for me to get tattoos while I was pregnant but my cousins doctor told her no I know that's a completely different topic haha sorry I just never asked my doctor about waxing

When my mom was pregnant she wasn't allowed to wax anywhere, she had to shave. I would definitely go see your doctor and see what they say. They have a better idea of what your specific body will react to. I hope I helped! Xx

I wax as part of my job and I do wax expecting mothers all the time with no issues , but if a doctor is telling you no I would definitely take it into consideration , better safe than sorry.
