Preparation

I’ll be shaving my legs 2 days before c section, curling hair and doing makeup morning of. I like to feel good going into big things. Definitely do some self care and go into birth feeling good about yourself whatever that means for you.

I dont go all out but yeah feel the same way. I shaved, did a fresh re-twist, wax lip/eyebrows lol just to feel less pressure right after baby

I looked OKAY in my hospital photos from my first child. This time I want to make sure I look and feel comfy, especially postpartum. Because they were special moments captured with my baby and I don’t want to feel sad sharing the photos because I don’t like how I looked. Also I do believe in LOOK GOOD, FEEL GOOD.

I got my hair braided so that I don’t have to worry about it and got cute press ons and painted my toes. When I look better I feel better. The pajamas I have for the hospital are cute and warm . I don’t feel like neglecting myself will lead to an easier transition into motherhood since it will already be busy and a lot anyways .

Last time I made sure my extensions would still be intact bc I didn’t wanna have to worry about doing my hair for a bit and also definitely shaved. Idk I might get braids done again just so I don’t have to worry about it. The problem is I get tired of my hair being in extensions. It’s heavy or itchy or something. I need another long term hair solution besides shaving it off lol

I’m going to try and get my hair done before labor and my mom is going to shave under my belly because I can’t see lol.

I’ve never been prepared both my prior pregnancies were emergency so this time I got my stuff together early cute but practical nightgowns since it will be another C-section I also don’t wear makeup a lot so I’m just bringing skincare and eye patches since I’ll be there a few days

I didn’t get a chance last time cause it was earlier then expected but I will be fixing my hair, being that’s the first thing to make me feel “clean” in some sorts, we will see on the shaving if I can even reach just too feel better but the nails it’s a no cause newborn diapers and shit not my vibe but I get the wanting to feel good

Absolutely not doing too much. This is my first and my grandma always told me to look better than you feel. Im confident about how I can handle labor but I refuse to be self conscious during labor. I’m due in a few weeks. I’ve already twisted my hair, I’m due for another leg wax this week, I’m getting a mani pedi. It’s just a must. You wanna meet your little one with as much confidence as you can have in my opinion. It sets the tone for the kid even if you don’t notice it right away.
