Default Does Waxing in Late Pregnancy Cause Contractions?

I am 29 weeks pregnant and have an appointment to have my legs waxed next week. Now my cousin told me that waxing is not recommended late in pregnancy because it can cause contractions!? Can that possibly be true?

I’ve never seen any indication from doctors or others that waxing during pregnancy causes any problems whatsoever. Unless waxing causes some sort of anxiety attack and high blood pressure for you, I’d say go ahead and have the waxing done. The only caveat might be that your skin may be more sensitive now than when you are not pregnant – so it might hurt a bit more.
