Pretty sure, yeah. :yes:

Do patch test though even if its one you have used before.. Skin can get sensitive during pregnancy.

since being pregnant I find the smell repulsive and they give me a horrible rash.. so my winter "stockings" where 100% natural! lol. Do a tiny test patch first!

Seriously - go and get a brazilian! You won't regret it! That way it won't grow back for 3 - 4 weeks!

Yeah but it's not harmful to the baby is it? It says nothing on the packaging.

You can get all natural ones I think; surely they would be ok?

do the brazillian! I'm always funny about laying there with my legs spread wide for the beautician to look at, so she lets me where a small g-string and just waxes one side, then the other. Its really easy. Hurts a little but looks good afterwards.
Just take care of the skin afterwards to avoid ingrowns - exfoliate and use a tea tree lotion.

I've had a look around- It seems there hasn't been any formal studies regarding hair removal cream on pregnant women.

I'd be more inclined to say the aerosol's and other gaseous chemicals would be more of a cause for concern, especially in the first trimester.
You don't want to be inhaling anything toxic. :)

It does say on the packaging of 'most' hair removal products- do not use on sensitive/genital areas.
