Shaving your legs and labor?

I wondered who else worries about this.  I  usually shave my legs once a week but when I get close to having the baby I do it every day. I worry about them being prickly when I go to the hospital . I know it's silly but it's just something that I think about. Anyone else worry about having them nice and smooth at the hospital?

hehe.    Shaving my legs was one of the first things I did when I realized I was in labor, lol!

I worry about that too. I want to be freshly shaven and clean before I go to the hospital! My fiance thinks I'm crazy.

I make sure I'm completely clean-shaven for delivery.

When you are screaming in pain with your legs all spread out and your coochie is on public display for about two nurses and a midwife/doctor along with all your spectators that some how snuck into the room... the last thing on anyone's mind are hairy legs.

I know, they probably see hairy legs all the time. This is my 7th baby and I always worry about it.

My shaving habits havent changed since I've been pregnant. I'm probably more adamant about it now then before I was pregnant. Whenever I start getting contractions or really intense cramping, I always take a shower and shave everything. I can't imagine going to the hospital and having a "hairy snatch"...hehehehe, that sounds so gross.

Ive been having problems trying to shave. We have no bathtub and I can barely lift my leg on the sink to do it. I manage to do it once a week but it hurts so bad esp when your hips are out of whack! I used Veet with my first, maybe Ill go get some then I dont have to shave as often. But trimming in front of a mirror is all I can do for my vajajay. Ill be having a c-section again this time anyways, but I hate hair!
