I understand the impulse, but there is so much weird stuff that happens during labor, sweats from the hormones, shakes from the epidural, vomiting from pushing or the drugs, plus oxygen masks if something goes wrong or your just tired, puffiness if they have to give you fluids, plus the fact that the whole thing…

I think the doctors probably just generally deal? I’m trying to imagine the circumstances under which a gynecologist would have someone up in the stirrups and say, “I’m sorry, but this vulva is much too hairy for me to inspect and treat. Please wax and come back.”

Sing it loud for the cheap seats!

I have thick hair. The doctor will just have to deal.
