So 11 weeks ago, I was 38 weeks pregnant, full of nesting energy and making some pretty questionable choices. For some reason, I decided that was the perfect time to give myself a full Brazilian wax. At home. By myself.
I’d already done the front, not fun, but I managed. Then it was time for the last bit clears throat, the butthole.
I put one leg up on the bathroom bench in some weird contortionist lunge, slapped the wax on, took a deep breath, and ripped.
I looked down and saw drips of fluid on the floor. My first thought was, “Is this wee?” I honestly thought I’d waxed myself into peeing. But then I realised, my waters had broken. Right then. MID-BUM-WAX.
Did I panic? Nope. I finished the wax. No way was I walking into the hospital looking like Cruella Deville. I jumped in the shower, did the fastest shave of my life, got rid of the stragglers, and told my partner it was time to go.
Baby was born healthy. I arrived at the hospital as fresh and hairless as a dolphin. The midwives were impressed. I have no regrets, just a hell of a story 😂
So… is that peak nesting or just peak chaos? Either way, it’s one hell of a start to motherhood with 2 😅

I love this!😂 The fact that you gave yourself a Brazilian, but while in labor. A woman after my own heart.
FYI to any pregnant mom about to give birth. Nurses and docs don’t care about your hair or hairless bottom. That’s not even something we think about twice, we see all kinds, we only care about you and the baby.
I just got finished tweezing my nipple hair. Was all fat dumb and happy only to be out done by the first post I see today. Thanks, I guess.
Before I became disabled I was a Brazilian waxer for 2 decades. And I am still shocked I never had anyone go into labor on me. I always thought it would happen. I’d wax right up till due date and had plenty of times where within a few hours to days baby came after the wax.
I’m going with chaos. My water broke at work and I made my husband take me home and shave my legs before we got to the hospital.
Girl, same! I was only shaven, not waxed but the midwives were impressed. Congrats on your healthy baby and superb, pre-labor primping 😁
So I have a funny shaving story if it makes you feel better lol. When I was 20 I got my first tattoo on my hip and I thought surely I don’t need to pull my pants all the way down so I only shaved the top half of my bush. My poor vagina had a mullet and I had to pull my pants all the way down for the tattoo 😅
“Fresh and hairless as a dolphin” 😂 I’m seriously impressed you could reach any of that tbh
It was incredibly irresponsible to shower and not go straight to the hospital. Contractions and complications is a slippery environment could have even really terrible. Glad it turned out but PSA to everyone else who values vanity above health and safety
lol I waxed all the way through with all four! Things epic though.
You just gave a whole generation of moms something to aspire to. This is top-tier chaotic prep and I love that your instinct wasn’t “call the doctor” but “nope, not showing up lookin’ half-waxed.” Absolute queen behavior.
Peak stupidity
Cruella DeVile- that’s fucking hilarious
