As a c-section mama(2 times!) Do not shave down there for 6 weeks. The hair is keeping germs and other things that shouldn't be in or near the incision. And you shouldn't pull at the incision either, that can cause it to open (happened to me) and you will have a nice time getting restitched.

Oh, I wouldn't. Wait until it heals or call the doctor. Trim with scissors if you must but don't get near the incision.

You should not do that for at least 6 weeks or more so that you will heal properly and not risk infecting the area.
