Midwife’s Viral Post About Grooming Your Garden Provides Much-Needed Reassurance

Anyone who’s ever gone to the OBGYN — pregnant or not — has likely fretted over the condition of their undercarriage prior to inspection. And why not? If somebody’s about to go diving in your deep sea, it’s the least you can do to tidy up for them beforehand.

Manicuring the lawn, so to speak, is hard enough when you can actually kind of sort of see it. But when you can neither see it NOR reach it — as in when you’re 199 9 months pregnant and ready to pop — getting the bushes barbered becomes a next level debacle.

Sure, you can try to twist and contort and even employ the help of a handheld mirror (or a brave partner) to trim the hedges, but after a certain point, no matter what you do, the task is nearly impossible.

Well, fear no more. Much like pooping on the birthing table is totally normal (it is, and yes, you’ll do it), so is letting your Bermuda triangle go au naturale, according to one midwife.

Her post, which went viral on Reddit, gives you absolute permission to set down the razor and relax a little. In fact, she promises that those who will be mingling in your muff won’t even notice. “As long as you’ve showered within the last week,” she says, you could be “full bush, bald as a baby,” or rocking something “exciting like a lightning bolt/vajazzle,” and no one will bat an eyelash or care one bit.

If only this had existed before my 3 were born. Perhaps then I wouldn’t have nearly died earning my self-awarded amateur contortionist license.

In all seriousness, people, you have enough on your plate, what with cooking a baby and preparing to evict it. Now that you’ve heard straight from the horse’s mouth that it doesn’t matter one bit whether you’ve got a hairy hootenanny or a sick fade going on in your downtown, no need to add pubic hair artistry to your skill set.

Just focus all that time and energy on those kegels instead. Trust me. Your Virginia Slim will thank you for it.
