I will be putting on some waterproof mascara and some under eye concealer for sure. And hopefully my hair will look halfway decent. I look at pics of me right after I had my son ten years ago and I look like a zombie! I know I'm not going to look like a supermodel this time either but id like to try not to frighten anybody lol

Yeah I was not all sweaty with my first..but a lol make up Wil be done & probably make the pain more of excitement.cuz when you getting ready for something exciting feels so much better..it's like getting ready for the best day of your life!

Lmao i thought i was the only one worried about this. I personally dont mind the natural look but i do have dark circles around my eyes and there not so cute so a little concealer and eyeliner won't be much lol. Everyone has a right to do whatever they want and a right to there opinions lol so for those who want make up, have fun. For those who dont want to waste there time on it, have fun too either way you'll forget once you see that little miracle :) congrats ladies

Totally agree with you @ geekmom1213 but for ladies that feel they need make up whatever makes you comfortable or feel better about yourself. My best friend had her hair and make up done with hers. But me personally I think a mom looks beautiful after hard work of giving birth. :)

I thought I was the only one thinking about making sure I didnt look a hot mess! Lol I have been told though to wait until afterward to go put on makeup but I don't know how I feel about that...we will see.

I don't need to put makeup on to feel good. I don't need makeup on to get my picture taken. In one of the most exhilarating and amazing moments of my life, the birth of my son, I saw no need to distract myself from focusing on my contractions and my breathing to paint my face or my nails. When a photographer came to do newborn and family shots a couple of days later, I was so blissed out by everything that was going on I didn't even think to button up my flannel pajama top until halfway through the session - I certainly hadn't found time to "beautify" while learning to breastfeed. I shared those pictures with everyone I know - I didn't look like "total crap" I looked like myself - a little tired, but happier than I'd ever been. They are beautiful. I can't figure why women are ashamed to show others what they actually look like.
To each their own, if you feel good that's the important thing. I don't need loads of makeup to feel good personally. Raw life doesn't need a filter.
