29 weeks pregnant: Blind shaving is no fun

by Jane on May 9, 2009 · 7 comments

Trying to shave when you are 29 weeks pregnant is hard work!It’s official:  At 29 weeks pregnant I can no longer see my lady parts and I’m close to seeing my feet for the last time for a while.  I was actually so glad when I was struggling with shaving this morning because I knew that I’d be able to blog about it.

I haven’t blogged in a day or two and that’s only because my life has been filled with laying on the couch and watching tv.  Nothing else.  Oh so boring.  Since nothing eventful happened, I had no topic to cover for a pregnancy blog post, hence my couple of days without anything.

But now I have something to talk about…

So I was in the shower this morning and I felt “down there” to feel that there seemed to be a lot of hair.  Ugh.  I spared my husband this time around and I took the razor and attempted to clear the forest without being able to see what the hell I was doing.  It was a struggle, I tell you.  

Do you have any idea how frustrating it is to feel something, go over it with a razor to try to remove it, and to feel it still being there?  Well, if you don’t, let me just tell you that it is extremely frustrating.  I even thought something was wrong with my razor so I switched. 

Nope, definitely not the problem.

What is it about pregnancy and hair growth?  It’s ridiculous.  I can deal with the extra hair on my head and the no shedding (how fabulous is that?!), but really, can’t we all be spared with it comes to our vagina and armpits?  And don’t even get me started on the hair on my stomach!

But I did try to remove as much hair as possible and I know that there was a lot (I know, I know, sorry if that’s too much information, but really, it’s just part of being pregnant) because the razor was full each time.  Oh. Em Gee.

You can bet that I will be recruiting Tarzan to do a job well done there next time, that’s for sure!  

I also attempted to paint my toenails once I got out of the shower.  That was a no-go too.  I told my husband that he would have another job  on days like this when I don’t have time to get a pedicure.  He just laughed – I wonder if he thinks I was kidding.  Poor guy.

In other news, I am a married woman again!  Nothing against anyone that isn’t, but I love my engagement ring and wedding band and I hated not being able to wear them.  Yesterday Tarzan bought me a fake band at Macy’s and it’s perfect.  It was regularly $40, on sale for $20.  He made a comment that he wished I was only so easy when it came to buying the real thing because he would have saved a lot of money.  

No such luck though.   Again, poor guy.

SO funny. I remember these days well, if not fondly...

Pedicures at the end of pregnancy are the best ever. Nothing like them. :)

I'm 31 weeks in and have the same problem. My (temporary) solution has been to sit down in the shower. It must look ridiculous lol.

Great post!

Oh, and Tarzan, my hubby painted my toe nails during my last pregnancy. He was insanely careful and I swear it took him a hour to do one foot. I laughed so hard. He was so scared he'd mess up.

Feet? You mean I still have them? I haven't seen them for 9 weeks! I'm still shaving my legs though since we go swimming once a week, but it's not easy. I can shave my right leg just fine, but my left leg is another story. It's crazy. We won't talk about "other" areas. If I can't see it, it doesn't exist, right?

As for hair on my tummy and pits.. oh god! My stomach is covered in dark hair, which is weird. I've always had blond arm and leg hair so when the black ones started appearing, I freaked. It didn't happen when Adia either. She's funny about it though. She's constantly lifting my shirt to talk to her babies and she always mentions mommy's hairy tummy. She's actually mad because she's not hairy yet!

I painted my toenails a few weeks ago. Not sure how I managed, but there's no way I could do it now. Bending is getting increasingly difficult. I do need to paint Adia's toe nails again. She's upset that her polish has disappeared. Maybe I'll do it tomorrow.

Jane-- just wait until you can't see your KNEES anymore when they're bent. I realized that on my way down the stairs yesterday lol. And unfortunately for my hubby, I gave up on "that" shaving weeks ago. He's too scared and I just gave up caring lol.

Tarzan-- my hubby did just fine painting my toes for me, and he is definitely not a painter. Just be sure to have plenty of q-tips on hand to get the paint off the actual toe where you miss the nail. It's not that hard. :) You might even have fun with it!

Yes, a lot going through my mind today....

1. I have a feeling the next time Jane needs a shaving... I'm going to hear my name being called while she's taking a bath. I'm telling you - I have a fear of this... I'm terrified that I'm going to cut something important off!

2. ME PAINTING YUR TOE NAILS!?!? You were serious Pregnant Jane!? Whoa! We will totally have to take a picture of that. I have never painted toe nails in my life and I have a feeling that the first time around will not be pretty!

3. A $20 wedding ring. Oh how I wish I could have gotten by with a $20 ring! J/K! The ring I got you is beautiful, just like my pregnant wife Jane. However, since you can't wear it right now, a $20 ring will have to do. That's OK. As soon as Baby Tarzan is born we'll get that beautiful ring back on your finger. :)

4. As mentioned in the previous post - Happy Mother's Day to all!

I am in between 24 and 25 weeks right now, and I know that shaving has become more difficult. I can still manage "all parts", but it isn't easy. The belly gets in the way trying to lean over and get to my ankles, and I can't really see "down there" without some manipulations. I can now see that I have plenty more challenges to look forward to in the weeks ahead! And, I had to jump in and say...I know exactly what you mean about the hair on the stomach. Sheesh! Really? Is it necessary?? Mine is fine and light colored, but it is still not what I would consider "attractive". And, lastly, I am all about a pedicure these days. Good thing for me that I am "low maintenace" and a pedicure can last me a month or two...makes it easier on the wallet! One or two more should get me through the pregnancy and the summer.
