Ever Considered a Glam-bor?

So I was channel flipping tonight (as I rarely do), and I saw an interview on Arsenio Hall (can you tell I was channel flipping yet?) where Shanola Hampton from "Shameless" was being interviewed and spoke about her delivery that she had not two weeks prior to the interview she was having with Arsenio.  She called her delivery it a Glam-bor.  Very briefly she went into detail about how in between contractions, she would get all dolled up (i.e. putting on her eyelashes, makeup, blush, lipstick) and take selfies before she delivered her child.

At first I thought this was the most narcissistic thing I could ever imagine.  I mean there you are, getting ready to bring a child into the world, having some of the worse pains known to mankind thrashing through you and you want to play with your make-up??!? 

So I looked it up.  It wasn't a very easy thing to find information about, but it is out there.  Those times I did find information online, however it wasn't being referred to as a Glam-bor.

Getting Glam For Labor and Delivery! - Ok a part of this article I can agree with. Pampering yourself (within reason and your financial ability) sounds like a reasonable thing to do before having your child considering the fact that for the next 2-4 weeks after delivering you won't have time to even think about that sort of thing since you will be juggling between sleep and caring for your baby.  Even I picked out a couple of robes and reasonable nightgowns I would be using while staying in the hospital for the couple of days after my delivery.

Getting Glam for the Delivery Room - Most of the quotes in this one really don't say "glam" to me, but more like finding ways to make a soon-to-be-mom feel a little better about her situation.

So what is your version of getting glammed up?  To what extreme would you/did you do for your own child's delivery?
