I wore makeup with my first I sweated but not that much as I had the room temp cranked down but I cried when lo was born and he had to get whisked away so his lungs could get cleared out asap (he pooped before water was broken) but I still looked absolutely horrible in my 1st pics with him I cant stand to look at em. I suggest makeup and SLEEP as much as u can if u can. I was up worrying 34hrs before I ever went in for my induction pretty sure the beauty sleep wouldve helped

fake eyelashes are always a reliable choice when you want to avoid the mascara smudges, waterproof or not.

I'm just going to have my eyebrows neatly waxed and have fake lashes.  They get rid of the need for mascara or eyeliner and make my eyes stand out..plus I won't have to worry about it being ruined by sweat and/or tears of me touching my face :)

Yes you can but I'd suggest getting some water proof type since you'll probably be sweating from all the pushing lol

Yes you can and I would recommend it if you like wearing it. I'll be wearing it when I give birth. I didn't with my first and I had my photo taken right after I look a mess. I want to at least look decent this time haha
