'Birthing makeup' divides women on TikTok as moms go 'full glam' for labor and delivery
Fox News ^ | 1/26/23 | Cortney Moore

Women have been sharing TikTok videos of themselves doing their makeup from their labor-delivery room hospital beds

Some mothers appear to be getting their makeup done before the birth of their children, and the decision has stirred lots of discussion on social media.

On TikTok, entering the term "birthing makeup," "labor makeup" and "delivery makeup" yields dozens of viral videos that show women applying full faces of makeup from their hospital beds while they wait for their children to enter the world.

Reality TV star and media personality Heidi Montag, 36, went a step above and hired a professional makeup artist when she prepped for the birth of her son, Ryker Pratt, in November 2022, which she documented on TikTok

Thank you wardaddy.

I read that and realized that this site is more insulting and abusive than ever.

No wonder numbers are dropping.

Agreed. If it’s important to them, why should I care. It really is a trivial thing and a very personal choice. If you want makeup go for it.

She's giving me her full support.

I got her a nice cigar to smoke in the waiting room.

If you look back at time, a surprising thing to learn is that women wearing make-up seems to be a biological imperative for them, it isn’t something that they just discovered and started doing 100 years ago, or 1,000 years ago 2,000 years ago.

Using make-up to one degree or another seems to be a state of normal for the female sex, so to let it bother you so much that you lash out like that isn’t reasonable.

Some things the sexes do are just natural to their sex whether we understand them or not, when it is, then I think it is wise to accept that it must serve some function for humans.

“so to let it bother you so much that you lash out like that...”

Who is “lashing out”? Methinks you are reading quite a bit into a comical turn of phrase.

“I wear hardly any makeup.”

Then I hardly see any cause for offense.

When I was having our kids in the ‘60s there wasn’t any photos or video to catch every grunt and groan, so no need for makeup.
Not even any newborn photos back then.
In fact, it was just me and the military staff whom I had never seen before.
Husband was home in bed for the first one and out moving the car out of the emergency entrance for the second.
Yeah, it was that close.

It is ridiculous to think about makeup going into labor, isn’t it? It proves that these women are total narcissists and I pity their children.

Guess I’m blessed in that regard. I devoted a lot of time to raising them right. Most lessons, they’ve gotten. There are a few I’m still hoping they get as they mature.

I knew women who brought makeup to the hospital. Then, they applied some makeup for their photos with their newborns.

I wish I’d thought of that...

Lol, I never had beer after any of my deliveries. Probably wished for some rum, though! ;) Seriously though, I think I only had a glass of wine once in a blue moon while I was nursing. Of course, that all changed once each kid was weaned!

I’m sure you like me could spend all day doing nothing but calling out people that are so nasty or informing the uninformed no matter how heartfelt their opinions are freepers just don’t have the knowledge they did 20 years ago maybe it’s because we have all gotten so damn old

I’m here because I enjoy the company of people that I’ve watched post for a long time it’s that simple I think that’s probably the reason most people are here

I mean I’m a southerner I think everybody knows that here who knows me so that means 97 to 98% of the woman where I’m from are whores by his estimation

Including my Miss Mississippi 1952 mother I mean he would not say that to my face

Or my son’s faces considering they are not old like me and one of them is very good with his hands the one in the army

I just don’t get it why so much negative posting why don’t some people sometimes say things laudable

We just don’t get the traffic we used to obviously there are so many more options and younger people go for the other options I reckon

I love our format I like it better than I do citizen Free Press or the other sites I occasionally post on

People are ugly on those sites too though to be honest

Probably the most concise polite posting is on YouTube podcast like Michael Knowles or Matt Walsh or on the Ukraine I listen to Alexander Mercurius every day that I can

I miss old free republic I’m sure we all do I don’t miss the harpies or the wolf packs though

But I miss the informed posting more than anything

Probably at least 1/3 of our good old members have passed

LBGA
chief negotiator
Harpseal
Apesforevolution
Shibumi
Bnblflag

I could list 30-40 from memory easy if I thought on it

Plus those who are too frail to post as much

One from east side mid Hudson valley would not liked his comment and would have been tough on him lol but she posts little now
Steel trap brain btw

Anyhow

Thanks 😊

Heh! That’s normal - for every generation.

Sounds like you raised some good people. 😊
