I got up and took a shower, dried and curled my hair and put on my makeup, I still looked terribly washed out and had "black eyes" from pushing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-wear-makeup-in-the-hospital-after-giving-birth/page/2#post-853179 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 00:35:28 +0000 tysonja 853179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hahah well i dont normally wear make up day to day so i guess i just looked normal. i didn't realize my hair was so knotty thought till a day or two later when i tried to comb it! oops!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-wear-makeup-in-the-hospital-after-giving-birth/page/2#post-853111 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 23:58:00 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 853111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. And I curled my hair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-wear-makeup-in-the-hospital-after-giving-birth/page/2#post-853090 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 23:35:19 +0000 Cchoi4 853090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went in for my 38 wk checkup and was told to go to the hospital's L&amp;D department...so I had makeup on from that day. But LO wasn't born until 8:00am the next morning so my hair was matted down and my makeup had faded, not to mention I took my contacts out and wore my dorky glasses...so yeah, I looked a HOT mess as well. </p> <p>I'm hoping to be more presentable during the 2nd time around, but that will be completely dependent on the nature of the delivery!! Rough delivery = I don't care. Semi-easy = I'll try to look good for pics. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-wear-makeup-in-the-hospital-after-giving-birth/page/2#post-853078 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 23:28:26 +0000 Boheme 853078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put it on the morning we left the hospital, two days after LO was born. I had makeup on while I was in labor, but due to all the wet washcloths, showers, etc I took during labor it was long gone by LO's arrival. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-wear-makeup-in-the-hospital-after-giving-birth/page/2#post-853042 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 22:52:58 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 853042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: you so don't!

I didn't reapply after birth though, I was a hot mess! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-wear-makeup-in-the-hospital-after-giving-birth/page/2#post-852966 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 21:59:50 +0000 HLK208 852966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With #1 hardly, I tried though! Contractions were just way too strong after my water broke to do anything but shower and get dressed for the hospital.</p> <p>#2, yes. Full face. I was induced though so I had all the time in the world to get ready lol. </p> <p>Example of natural labor (left) vs. induced (right) lol</p> <p>[attach=1336/13/mob9ns.600x600.image.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-wear-makeup-in-the-hospital-after-giving-birth/page/2#post-852948 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 21:44:55 +0000 shopaholic 852948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally thought I would have hours of labor to do my hair and make-up. But seeing as I went into labor in the MOTN, that didn't happen and the pics are awful! I did manage to wash my face and put on a tiny bit of make-up to look presentable before people came over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-wear-makeup-in-the-hospital-after-giving-birth/page/2#post-852945 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 21:43:39 +0000 bisous 852945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did right after taking my first shower...made me feel a little better. Kind of funny though because once we got home I didn't do my make up for a good two weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-wear-makeup-in-the-hospital-after-giving-birth#post-852938 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 21:39:59 +0000 Boogs 852938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took some with me, but never had the opportunity to even think about putting in on since I had guests all day every day that I was there. Looking back I should have at least combed my hair more, lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-wear-makeup-in-the-hospital-after-giving-birth#post-852861 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 20:58:58 +0000 JerricaBenton 852861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did my makeup every morning I was there! I even touched up before I went in for my c-section lol. I'm definitely a makeup girl. It's just part of my routine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-wear-makeup-in-the-hospital-after-giving-birth#post-852768 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 20:28:50 +0000 Bao 852768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No I was a disaster! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-wear-makeup-in-the-hospital-after-giving-birth#post-852764 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 20:28:01 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 852764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put some on the next day after my first shower. I looked like a hot mess for those very first pictures (after snapping the first shot of my son &amp; I, my husband said seriously "I promise never to show that to anyone.")</p> <p>I joked that, next time, I'm getting the epidural so I don't look so jacked up at the end! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-wear-makeup-in-the-hospital-after-giving-birth#post-852755 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 20:25:07 +0000 Ree723 852755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well considering I don't wear any make up 99% of the time anyway, that would be a big no.</p> <p>@yin: Same here - I look better without make up and looked pretty good sans make up after LO was born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-wear-makeup-in-the-hospital-after-giving-birth#post-852754 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 20:25:06 +0000 aprk 852754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I couldn't stand up straight, so no. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-wear-makeup-in-the-hospital-after-giving-birth#post-852748 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 20:23:01 +0000 yin 852748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't wear makeup on a daily basis, and I didn't wear it after giving birth either. I think I looked pretty good without it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-wear-makeup-in-the-hospital-after-giving-birth#post-852744 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 20:21:03 +0000 mrs. wagon 852744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had makeup on during both deliveries (minimal, just powder and a little liquid eyeliner) and obviously, at the end, I didn't have much left and didn't look great. But by the next morning after I showered I put on makeup right away and felt so much better about seeing people and taking pictures! Everyone told me not to bring it, but I'm so glad I did! The second night I sent Wagon Sr. home to pick up some more :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-wear-makeup-in-the-hospital-after-giving-birth#post-852739 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 20:17:35 +0000 hilsy85 852739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! I felt and looked much better after putting makeup on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-wear-makeup-in-the-hospital-after-giving-birth#post-852686 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 19:50:52 +0000 GrapeCrush 852686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha definitely not </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-wear-makeup-in-the-hospital-after-giving-birth#post-852648 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 19:35:19 +0000 littlek 852648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Noppity no </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-wear-makeup-in-the-hospital-after-giving-birth#post-852631 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 19:28:47 +0000 Corduroy 852631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I brought it to the hospital but who was I kidding. I've worn mascara exactly once pp, on my anniversary. I didn't even get a shower until I went home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-wear-makeup-in-the-hospital-after-giving-birth#post-852611 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 19:21:23 +0000 MrsStar 852611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i had packed it in my bag but from what I remember I didn't put any on! I felt like I looked better then I expected to be after giving birth that I just didn't worry about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-wear-makeup-in-the-hospital-after-giving-birth#post-852548 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 18:56:43 +0000 Maysprout 852548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't during delivery or that evening. The next day I put on a little mascara and blush even though I rarely wear makeup. But I looked pale and felt less sickly with a little on. We're the momma/baby model up on the hospital maternity page and I think I might have had on a bit of blush but I cant tell by looking at the picture. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-wear-makeup-in-the-hospital-after-giving-birth#post-852507 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 18:43:15 +0000 blackbird 852507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put some on Saturday because we were having visitors and I didn't want to look like a mess in photos! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-wear-makeup-in-the-hospital-after-giving-birth#post-852500 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 18:39:41 +0000 keiki_mama 852500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That would be a no. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-wear-makeup-in-the-hospital-after-giving-birth#post-852488 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 18:32:19 +0000 luckypenny 852488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha!
