Can You Wax While Pregnant?

Can you wax while pregnant? I’ve been asked this question more times than I can count so I’m here to help.

Pregnancy is such an exciting time and your body goes through all kinds of changes. Your hormones are going to change while pregnant and one of those changes is an increase in hair on your head and body. Extra hair growing on your head, great! Extra hair growing on your body, not so great. Fortunately, you can wax it! A lot of women also want to wax while pregnant because a point in time is going to come when you won’t be able to see “down there” anymore. And who wants to ask their significant other to help them shave!?

First, if you’re interested or trying to get pregnant, I definitely recommend starting to get waxed before you get pregnant, if possible. Obviously, sometimes getting pregnant is a surprise so it's definitely not something you can always control. But if you’re actively trying, I absolutely recommend you start waxing beforehand. This will help your hair get all on the same hair growth cycle and thin out your hair which will make your waxes less painful.

Waxing while pregnant is generally considered safe. I’ve waxed TONS of pregnant clients, all the way up until they delivered. Because of the extra hormones pregnant women experience, they tend to grow more hair which, obviously, can make waxing tend to hurt more. But if you stick with it and consistently get waxed every 4 weeks or so, this will help make each wax much easier to tolerate.

Your body is also producing extra blood and fluid to help support your growing baby. Because of this, the extra blood can make your skin more sensitive than it usually is.

I also recommend bringing a pillow during your waxing appointment. This will help prop your back so you’re not laying flat on your back with a pregnant belly, which can cause discomfort.

It’s safe to wax all the way up to your due date, but I would definitely be more cautious within the last two weeks of your due date. I actually had a woman who called me on her way to the doctor because her water just broke and she wanted to get waxed real quick before she gave birth. Unfortunately, by that time it was too late to get waxed. I would recommend scheduling your last waxing appointment around two weeks before your due date, just in case.

Always be open and honest with your waxer so even if you’re in the early stages of pregnancy, your waxer should know!
