Brazilian After C Section

How long did you wait after c section to get a Brazilian wax (or really wax directly over the scar?). I’ve heard from different health professionals to wait at least 6months before waxing directly over the scar due to scar tissue.

I’m coming up to 5months pp & just been shaving for maintenance (still not going anywhere near the scar). I would really like to get a Brazilian done as the weather is warming & I just feel better when I have it done, BUT super nervous about going over the scar. I’m happy to wait till 6months, I just hope the pain isn’t too horrible haha

Any tips of dealing with pain for it too would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I’m currently 4 weeks pp and am keen as to have my Brazilian maintenance done down there for sure!
How does your scar feel recovery wise? Is it still itchy, raised or tender?
I could only suggest trying a bikini wax down the legs first to see how you feel tenderness wise. Maybe the home strip kits would give you some confidence to know when you’ll be ready to brave the full Monty.

Best to check with your GP at your 6 week checkup.

I'm a waxer and we recommend waiting 6 weeks after giving birth. After a c section I've often waxed around the scar and just plucked a few hairs around the scar but it all depends on the client's healing process and tenderness

I had mine done from 7 weeks PP. my scar healed well and I had no issues with the incision post wax.

normal or infected?

5 weeks post c section , i went at the beginning of the week as my wound had opened completely different area to what’s leaking. was told it didn’t look infected. anyone know if this is normal coming off it, it’s only a little amount at a time

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!
