We have been waxing expectant moms for quite some time. We DO recommend beginning in the early months vs the later. Hair removal is especially nice with a planned c-section. So many new moms have to experience the not-so-fun task of hair... that is stuck to surgical tape, sutures, or hair that grows into the healing incision. Ouch! It is perfectly safe to wax (sugar in our case!) right up to delivery. Yes, it might be more uncomfortable than before your pregnancy but it's well worth it. ♥

At first glance, I was disgusted. I don't know if it was the mention of planned c-sections so casually, or the $50 price tag that goes along with sugaring that could be spent in much better ways. Then I took a deep breath, stepped away from my computer screen, and thought about it for a second.
Truth: most of the moms I work with are not planned c-sections. In fact, I have never had a mom going into birth with this plan. There may be issues with hair "down there" that I hadn't even considered. This is not a mom planning a vaginal birth who just wants to "look nice." Not that I would fault her if she did- I myself cleaned up prior to birth (but did not wax). I also remember how nice it was to feel pampered during pregnancy, and if this helps a mom feel better about herself, I'm all for that. In fact, I may just go ahead and add them to my list of local resources. Now I just need to figure out what category to list them under....
