Hey Clair.. I havent had a C/S but have cared for amny women who have, seen lots being performed and removed many stables and stitches... R u having a C/S???? If like you said you dont have aholly-wood look down below, then yeh we do shave it or if a planned C/S Im sure the woman can do it at home... This is becaue the hair can get in the way of the Obs vision, to keep the lower abdominal region sterile, helps prevent infection or the possibility of hair getting inside the uterus, and so it doesnt annoy the ob when doing the acutall op. The cut is roughly above your pubic line... To heal you have to keep the area very clean, but after washing make sure its dried very well..... The pubic hair doesnt exactly cover it all the time, this kinder deends on the woman and her hairgrowth.. It does itch, like most scare and things do also. Hoe this helps... Amirah xo
