Soft wax is the wax with paper/cloth strips! Usually people do this for the legs? Soft wax is stickier. Hard wax does not come with the paper strips. In general, hard wax is used to remove hair from more sensitive areas (bikini line, armpits, etc.). During pregnancy you will be more sensitive to pain. Do ask your beauty aesthetician to do a test wax on a small area. If you have extremely sensitive skin, do consult your obgyn before deciding on anything :) There is more information here: http://www.healthline.com/health/pregnancy/waxing#4

Yes you can. No problems at all. Hard wax is better for the sensitive areas. Soft wax uses a strip whilst hard wax doesn't. Our Hormones are different when pregnant so I would ask for their advise before waxing.

Hard wax is better then soft wax. It better for sensitive skin. Yes you can still go for waxing but you may feel the pain to be likely unbearable as during pregnancy our skin tend to be more sensitive
