My experience is a bit out of date, but as I recall (back in the days of Noah’s ark and all) that I was too round to bend over much and too broke with baby purchases to have mani’s and pedis etc. Leg hair I didn’t care about, (I’m lucky to have pale blond leg hair and not much of it) and my pedi was limited to keeping my toenails clean and clipped, and my feet smoothed and moisturized.
I did however go to the hairdresser and get a good cut. I highly recommend that. Packing good personal care items like shaving cream, razors, soothing skin cream, moisturizing body wash are all helpful for that first shower or two in the hospital if you are in for an overnight stay after the birth.
And back in the olden days when I was an RN, most ladies ended up getting shaved anyway by the nurse who admits them to labour and delivery so the whole bikini trimming/waxing on the nether regions was sort of a useless extravagance. And speaking as a nurse, hygiene matters a LOT, but not a haircut down there.
