Specialist intimate hair removal for pregnancy, including regular maintenance, first-time appointments and birth preparation, with positioning and pacing adjusted around your stage of pregnancy and how you feel on the day.
Pregnancy Brazilian care at Smooth by Adina Skin
As your pregnancy progresses, shaving and home grooming can become uncomfortable or simply hard to reach. A professional Brazilian can help you feel tidy and comfortable without having to manage the area yourself.
Pregnancy can also make the skin more reactive. Appointments are adjusted with more flexibility, smaller working sections, slower pacing, position changes and breaks whenever needed.
Waxing or sugaring during pregnancy?
You do not need to decide the method before you arrive. Your skin, hair length, density and sensitivity are assessed at the appointment and the most suitable professional method is selected.
Comfort-focused positioning
Side-lying
You may lie on either side with knees bent. Pillows or wedges can be used to support the belly and knees.
Switching sides
We can change sides during the service so you are not left in one position for too long.
Semi-reclined
An elevated or semi-reclined position can be used when lying flat is uncomfortable, particularly later in pregnancy.
Modified one-knee-up
Positions are adjusted only as far as comfortable and can be changed immediately if you feel pressure, dizziness or discomfort.
After around 20 weeks, long periods lying flat on the back are avoided. Breaks can be taken at any time.
First pregnancy Brazilian or returning after shaving
If this is your first Brazilian, or you have been shaving through pregnancy, allow enough regrowth for the chosen method. For sugaring, around two weeks of regrowth is often helpful because very short, coarse shaved hair can be difficult to sugar effectively.
- Do not trim too short immediately before the appointment.
- Arrive with clean, dry skin and avoid body oils or heavy moisturiser on the area.
- Wear comfortable, loose clothing for after the treatment.
- Tell Adina how many weeks pregnant you are and mention any changes in your pregnancy or skin sensitivity.
- Let Adina know immediately if you need to pause, reposition or stop.
Maintenance and birth preparation
Regular clients can continue maintenance appointments during pregnancy while treatment remains comfortable and appropriate. If you are booking specifically for birth preparation, allow enough time before your expected due date so the appointment does not feel rushed and the skin has time to settle.
If baby is taking a little longer to arrive and you have visible regrowth after a recent birth-preparation Brazilian, check the current service menu for the most suitable maintenance or refresh option.
Pregnancy Brazilian aftercare
- Keep the area clean and avoid unnecessary touching for the first day.
- Avoid very hot showers, baths, spas, saunas, swimming and strenuous exercise while the skin is freshly treated.
- Avoid fragranced products, active skincare and heavy exfoliation on the area until the skin has settled.
- Wear loose, breathable clothing to reduce friction.
- Begin gentle exfoliation only after the skin has settled, usually after about 48 hours, to help reduce ingrown hairs.

Pregnancy Brazilian FAQs
Can I have a Brazilian while pregnant?
Many clients continue waxing or sugaring during pregnancy. Pregnancy can increase sensitivity, so the pace, technique and positioning are adjusted. If you have a pregnancy complication or medical concern, ask your maternity provider before booking.
Will it feel more sensitive during pregnancy?
It can. Increased blood flow and hormonal changes may make the skin or hair-removal sensation feel stronger than usual, which is why extra time, smaller sections and position changes can help.
What position will I be in?
Depending on your stage of pregnancy and comfort, treatment may use side-lying, semi-reclined and other modified positions. You will not be expected to stay in a position that feels uncomfortable.
How close to my due date can I book?
There is no single ideal day for everyone. For birth preparation, it is sensible to allow enough time before your expected due date for the skin to settle and to avoid feeling rushed if your plans change.
Is sugaring always better than wax during pregnancy?
No single method is best for every client. Sugaring needs more hair length, while professional wax can remove shorter or coarser growth. The method is selected after assessing your hair, skin and comfort on the day.
What if I feel dizzy or uncomfortable?
Tell Adina immediately. The appointment can be paused, your position changed or the treatment stopped if necessary.
