(lack of) evidence on shaving for giving birth 

clipping is less harmful than shaving  however-  is not clipping better than clipping?:

trials that compared clipping with shaving 

Six trials, two of which had three comparison arms, (972 participants) compared hair removal (shaving, clipping, or depilatory cream) with no hair removal and found no statistically significant difference in surgical site infection rates however the comparison is underpowered.

argument that clipping is better for dressing adherence: well: gauze is available 

review of risk/benefits of different dressings: v little in literature about whether dressing on clipped hair is less painful or less adherent than non clipped….

overview of risks
