So, during my little trip to L&D this week, my long hair was driving me absolutely crazy. If it is up I usually have it in a messy bun but it kept getting knocked out or pulled on by laying in the bed. What did you do with your hair during L&D? I'm thinking I might need to start practicing some kind of tight ballerina bun on the top of my head because having to re-do my hair every 5 minutes made me absolutely crazy.
-
I just kept my hair up in a ponytail and used a bobby pin to keep my bangs up. I made sure to bring extra elastic bands.
-
I had mine up in a pony tail too!
-
I just wore a headband and let my hair stay down. It was out of my face and I didn't have to keep redoing my ponytail.
-
Pony tail for the whole time I was there
-
I think mine was in a ponytail. Bring bobby pins! My bangs kept getting in my eyes and annoying the heck out of me.
-
When I want my hair out of the way I French braid it (so I can lay my head all the way back) or put it in a bun!
-
I don't have any experience with L&D, but my go to for long hair when ponytail is impractical is to side braids. I hate having long hair on my neck when I'm hot and sweaty, but yeah, sometimes it's too annoying to have the ponytail on the back of your head. Two braids, usually french braids for me since my hair slips out of regular ones, keep it off my face and my neck, plus it looks kind of cute.

Can you throw a headband on and french braid it? i had very long, thick hair, and this was my go-to for everything.
-
sock bun! I am packing my sock bun and a really wide headband like an exercise one? let me show you what I packed:
Found these pics on google but they are exactly what I packed: -
I'm trying to grow mine out a little so I can keep it up out of my face! Bobby pins or maybe a headband seem like a good idea.
-
@highwire: I happened to be wearing a high ponytail that day and it was PERFECT.
-
pony tail-- it was easy to do without a mirror, and it was neat & tidy for pictures.
-
Thanks all! I wish I knew how to french braid! But I might just go with the pony tail and keep it easy.
-
there was a headband, some bobby pins, an attempt at a pony tail.... to be honest, by the time she was actually out, my hair (and everything else for that matter) was a HOT MESS, but I really didn't care all that much by that point.
-
side pony, but it kept getting teased up and messy on the top of my head from shifting around in bed.
-
lol From someone who has done Labor and Delivery twice already I can assure you you won't give a crap about your hair.
I would suggest a headband and a pony tail to start but it's not going to matter.
