Can I get a leg and bikini wax during pregnancy?

by

Question:
Can I get a leg and bikini wax during pregnancy or will that just irritate the skin too much?
Answer:
Yes, you can. Your skin may be a little more sensitive than usual, but a soothing antiseptic lotion applied to the treated area will prevent infection, reduce irritation and lessen the redness that sometimes is created by the waxing process. Of course, it's best to check with your healthcare provider on all matters during pregnancy, since there can be a wide variance in individual situations.
