Blimey - Something Else To Stress About In Pregnancy

[sunny-dave]

From my FB feed - just in case you think I surf 'netmums' as a matter of routine ...

But when did THIS become something mums-to-be had to think about?

I am (frankly) aghast ...

As long as the lady takes care, she should do as she normally would.



Couldn't be mithered myself.

[ummmm]

Never heard of it but the sticker says because of the risk of infection.

I can't understand why pregnant women bother keeping that area all nice and tidy considering what's going to happen to it.

[sunny-dave]

I agree entirely - hence my flabber being so ghasted by the discussion.

& now I know what a foof is :0?

[bednobs]

you'd be amazed.
When i had my cervical stitch put in, i was at the pre op clinic with a bunch of other people who were being prepped for Caesarians. There was a 5 minute lecture about "hairy foofs" as that poster has so eloquently put it. You would imagine they wouldn't bother going on about it if they didn't get asked or didn't run into trouble about it. Don't forget the people having babies are young, and we are old!

You live and learn, Elina - it was news to me too ...

[mccfluff]

a midwife friend of mine often moans about about ladies not trimming, not sure if that's for practical reasons or aesthetical. but she does have us in fits of giggles at some descriptions which i won't go into ....

[Elina]

^ ... Where'd you get your name from? ;0)

[mccfluff]

me or sd?

[ummmm]

It must be so difficult. I couldn't even see mine!

[Elina]

Ha ha!

[Elina]

You mc ... see the link .. 'foof'

[whiskeryron]

Can't bear the thought of ladies with shaved whatsits I'm all for natural. Saw one once & thought it looked like an unfortunate Pig with it's throat cut.

[Mamyalynne]

As long as you are clean, then it looks like what it is - how is any medico going to be shocked by what they see?


I refuse to use the 'F' word!!

[sunny-dave]

Well obviously Ron - or your username would be brazilianron ... :)

Takes us back to the sex education programme on TV last week, all the boys picked the shaven ladies as that is all they had seen in porn they watched.

They described natural pubic areas as 'dirty'.

I thought Midwives shaved expectant mothers when labor started. I,m sure I can remember getting shaved for my first child -however it was 33 years ago and it was in Paris (not that french women are renowned for shaving pubic hair lol!) Considering all the goo and mess down their at birth it would be much more hygienic to be clean shaven or waxed and if you need a suture they will shave you anyway.

[whiskeryron]

Well said Dave LOL.

Foof mamya .. foof!
