Are we really not allowed to get a bikini wax while pregnant? My OB told me not to, but I don't understand why not...when other OBs are okay with it.

Because of all the hormone changes, your skin in the down town maybe a little bit more sensitive than the usual, and might cause it to be more painful than the usual. I've got mummy friends who still went for waxing still although I personally didn't. If it helps, you can read up on this article about the general does and don'ts during pregnancy. http://sg.theasianparent.com/to-the-modern-woman-dont-try-this-while-pregnant/

It's only because your skin may be more sensitive and itchy due to pregnancy hormones. There's extra blood flowing to the area and waxing will be even more painful. Some therapists do not provide waxing for women in their first trimester. I'd stay on the safe side and trim it myself. http://www.babycentre.co.uk/x557907/is-it-safe-to-have-a-bikini-or-leg-wax-in-pregnancy
