A Nigerian midwife has appealed to pregnant women to shave their v@gina before coming to the hospital to give birth.
Joy Eke Ilediagu made the call to expectant mothers via her Facebook account.
She urged them to appeal to their partners to help them shave and if it’s not possible, they should use a mirror to assist in the process.
She wrote: “Don’t appear like this in labour.
“Help us and help yourself..as soon as you enter the last days of your pregnancy please keep the racing field clean…always shave please.
“If your partner is not helping use mirror.
“If not for anybody just imagine if your baby is coming out and mistakenly grab that hair..my sister e no go funny (jokes though).
“But to be sincere if you know how happy your midwife or doctor will feel when you do a good job down there..it can even help prevent you from tears because that area will be easy to guide
“I’m just a midwife don’t also add hunter work to my job..some will come into labour with a thick forest.
“I know I have good women here who always look clean while coming into labour.
“Let’s have a symbol that you are well informed by your favourite midwife.”
