Waxing for all shapes, sizes and trimesters

Expecting mamas take a lot of preparations --mentally and physically -- for the Big Day: Lamaze class? Check. Prenatal yoga? Check. Bags packed? Check.

Wait a minute -- Are you waxed?

While I personally have found modesty to be the first thing out the delivery room window, women stressing about that certain area will be happy to know that NYC-based Completely Bare salons now offer prenatal bikini waxes.

Working with a prenatal doctor and aesthetician, this safe and comfortable waxing method is designed for women with compromised mobility and super sensitive skin. The low temperature, hypo-allergenic wax is administered by a trained technician that will use special positions, custom pillows and Lansinoh -- a breasfeeding must-have for sore nipples -- to soothe the freshly waxed area.

If nothing else, it's good pain management practice. Me? I'll just take the prenatal massage, thank you.

If you're interested, search for a salon here.

What about you? Do you think the bikini area is a common prenatal concern?
