‘Do I want to look ugly when I’m pushing out a child? No’
For most mums, the first thought when they go into labour probably isn’t how they look.
But for one mum, this couldn’t be further from the truth, as the first thing she did before going into hospital to give birth was to give herself a glow up.
Pregnant mum-of-one, Indy Clinton, wanted to look good for her birth, so went and got both a manicure and pedicure, before blow drying her hair, and even applying fake tan to her body so she was glowing for the occasion.
Indy describes herself as a “young mama to a crazy toddler” and wanted to ensure she was looking good for the arrival of her second child.
She took to TikTok to share her beauty regime before the birth, posting a video with the caption: “I’m ready!!!! now just waiting on one thing…”
Indy recorded her birth beauty preparation, describing it as her ‘prep for labour.’
The mum-of-one said: “It’s finally hit me that I’m having a baby, I think I’ve been in denial for nine months, but it’s hit me that I’ll have another baby by the end of the week.
“I just want to run a few errands before I give birth, so I’m going to get my nails done, get Navy [her son] a present from his little sister.
“I’m going to pretend this is from his little sister – I think I’ve got a few things”.
The video then shows her going to the nail salon, but she clearly doesn’t get the results she was after, saying afterwards: “That was a waste of $40, it doesn’t look like anything’s changed.
“I did go wild on my toes though, I got orange”.
Later in the video, Indy had arrived back home and was ready to continue the glow-up.
She said: “I just got home, I’m going to fake tan now and wash my hair.
“My hair is washed, I’m just moisturising my face quickly and then I’ll fake tan.
“By the way, my induction is not tonight, before someone says ‘why am I fake tanning for labour?’ Do I want to look ugly when I’m pushing out a child? No.
“I don’t have long, I’m just going to do my hair, I might actually put it in rollers.
“Also, should I wear this in labour?” she asks as she holds up a white crop top.
“Last time I wore the hospital gown but I didn’t like the vibe of it, it made my shoulders look really broad.”
Indy then blow dries her hair with a hot brush, and concludes: “Hair is done”.
Indy’s video has racked up more than 965,000 views, and almost 169,000 likes.
Many took to the comments to wish Indy good luck for her birth.
One person said: “Best wishes my love! You’re gonna do amazing mumma”.
Another added: “I hope the labour is smooth”.
A third commented: “I did this exact same thing before my induction!! I hope your birth goes well”.
Indy kept her 734,000 followers updated on her pregnancy, and earlier today (October 13) shared a video of her newborn baby girl.
