I use DH’s trimmer to trim myself up but during pregnancy I just let it go. I have a very fond funny memory of standing in the bathtub with DH trimming me up while I was in labor with DS1.

No one cares

This. No need to shave, but at least cut it close with scissors. I couldn't shave for weeks after birth because of my stitches. Lots of cleanup going on down there

I basically gave up towards the end and was shaved by the nurse for both c sections. At this be point when my doc was explaining the incision she said it's right at the top of your hair line...I can't remember if you normally have hair...but that's where it is. I totally believe that they don't really even notice.
