Do I have to shave… down there?

So I guess I’ve been thinking about my beauty a lot recently. I feel good about myself for the most part. I just had a baby 3.5 months ago. I gained a lot of weight and I used to be super skinny so I feel different obviously and I also haven’t been paying much attention to myself and my physical attraction because I’m a new mom. I’ve never shaved below before but I have been considering doing so recently now that I’m not so burdened by a massive pregnant belly.

I think I’ll try to start doing this often. I feel it’s something most women do and it’s kind of expected. My bf hasn’t asked me ever but I think he would appreciate. Any ideas?
