Is it mandatory to clean pubic hairs before delivery?

Recently, i get to know that pubic hairs should be removed before delivery. If you haven’t then nurses will do it.
But i am very sceptical as pubic hairs are there for some reasons and shaving last minute can give infections or cut.
How you guys do it or is it really a mandate thing to do since we don’t know that exact delivery date .

UTI / E.Coli Infection

Has anyone’s babies specifically under 6 months, faced a UTI issue or diagnosed with an E. coli infection?

Would love to hear any experiences your babies have gone through or the type of medication they were put to cure.

Any grunting that happened to your babies before they were diagnosed for it?

HG medications

This is my second pregnancy and unlike my first I have HG this time round. Went to GP on Monday who prescribed liquid cyclizine - not tablets as I know I’ll struggle to take them. Pharmacy however have had delays getting it in as it needs to be made up and I’m wondering about other options?

Hi guys,

Hi, has anyone done a successful round of IFV (7.5weeks) and on a cocktail of the following
Progesterone pessaries x3
Aspirin (I have factor V Leiden) 1
Estrogen x3
Progesterone tablets x2
Progesterone injection 1
Has anyone had side effects? I’ve been feeling drunk/fog/struggling to string a sentence together. And shortness of breath.

Have also had a subchorionic hematoma being monitored.
Experiencing some lower/mid back pains that feels like trapped wind maybe but been hours now….And at this point any pain or ache feels like it could be the end of the world 😣😪

Desogestrel

Is anyone else on these one they aren’t great and making me bleed constantly I don’t know if I can put up with any longer I was fine before taking them.
