Did you shave or wax before labor and delivery?

I usually shave or at least trim my pubic hair. My induction is scheduled for tonight. I'm kind of nervous about the hair. Did you shave. I feel like I need to because hair can trap odor .. I'm not saying I will stink. But I'm sure the smell of labor and sweat stinks. If you did shave or wax did the itching and irritation make recovery worse for you ?

    I trimmed.

    DO NOT WAX. You will regret it.

    The doctors are going to be delivering your baby. I'm pretty sure the last thing on their mind is the state of your pubic hair and smells involved. If I were you, I wouldn't worry about it and leave that area alone since birth will be enough trauma. Waxing or shaving may just make delivery worse.

    When you are delivering a baby, I promise, no one cares about the state of your pubic hair. And no one is going to have their face right up there either.

    Forget about it. If they want the hair off they will shave it off.
