Did you wear makeup in the hospital after giving birth?

    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!

    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.

    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.

    #2, yes. Full face. I was induced though so I had all the time in the world to get ready lol.

    Example of natural labor (left) vs. induced (right) lol

    I had makeup on that was leftover from the day before! I didn't reapply after birth though, I was a hot mess!

    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.

    I went in for my 38 wk checkup and was told to go to the hospital's L&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.

    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.

    M was born in the evening so we didn't have visitors (besides our parents) until the next day. 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.
