Labour hair care
What do you reckon midwives really think about nether hair care for labour? I usually shave but it's getting extremely difficult now and I'm getting a lot of rash and ingrown hairs. I'm tempted to just leave it be but do you think midwives judge just a little?
Sorry if this post is tmi! Third trimester worries and who else can I ask!
This is my third and I don't recall struggling this much the first two times.

I don’t think Midwifes think anything negative at all about hair or bald down there tbh, they’re not looking at it in any sort of sexual way and most of them have been pregnant themselves so understand if you do normally shave, it’s near impossible towards the end. Don’t worry about that at all❤️
Im sure I read somewhere that shaving actually can introduce bacteria through micro cuts and/or skin irritation and pose a higher risk of infections etc so it’s better to leave it natural. 🤷🏽♀️ plus like you said it gets pretty difficult the further along you get.
Midwives don’t care at all. Don’t worry they’ve seen everything! 💖
I'm not a midwife but I'm a healthcare professional who sees lots of bodies, I literally don't care/notice/judge anyone's body hair or toenails or fake tan or anything else you might be worrying about. It's part of my job, it's not something I pay any attention to I just get the work done 😊
Aw I really don't think they care all that much! Not only have they seen it all, but in the moment they probably have 101 things to think about to make sure things don't go wrong with mum or baby 😂

Anterior placenta and tightenings of stomach
Hi, I’m 21 weeks today🩵. Does anyone else who has an anterior placenta feel like they are constantly questioning whether something was a kick? He was kicking me pretty consistently for 4 weeks very low down but recently settled down the last week or two. It’s so so hard because I’ve had my 20 week scan and everything has been perfect so far but waiting to feel his next kick just feels like forever. I had a really strong one from him on the right side yesterday when lying in bed but he’s been pretty quiet again today. It is like torture and does not help my anxiety having an anterior placenta. I don’t know if it’s because he’s moved up slightly and is now kicking my placenta hence why I can’t feel him but would be great to get some advice x
Also having pretty consistent stomach tightenings most days on and off. I know this can be normal but at what point do I need to seek help for it?
