Rachel and Ross from Friends demonstrate perfectly coiffured childbirth.
Ok, Miranda has one small hair out of place but SJP? A ‘real’ birth partner would be knackered and covered in bite marks/poo.
Oh Come on… a fugging HAIRBAND? Christina and Will in Up All Night
This is how I thought I looked…but I didn’t
Spotted any more…?

It’s like people who cry in movies or on TV without a red nose and/or snot – I’ve never seen it in reality but maybe that’s just me…
Who wears a perfectly positioned hair band when they give birth??? When I was in labour, my hair, my graying hair, hadn’t been dyed for 9 months, and hadn’t seen a comb in years!
And how come they all have labours that last just one episode? Mine would have lasted a whole season! I posted my birth story (or getting ready to give birth story) earlier this year, complete with piccie of me painting my toenails in between contractions (well, couldn’t be totally unprepared!), and I’d had a blow-dry 2 days before (remembering how crap I looked in all the piccies with Missy G first time around)…. the funny thing is that apart from the mandatorily painted toenails, I am SO not that kind of woman! It must have been the hormones….. honest guv!

Ah go on! Let’s see what you looked like!
I would Anya, but the stork wouldn’t let me take ANY PHOTOS! x
There is an alarming lack of snot on TV.
Ha ha I blow-dried my hair (for about the first time in 6 months) just before going into labour second time round, as I remembered how BAD I’d looked in the pictures first time round. Shouldn’t have bothered – I spent my entire labour pulling my hair to stop the pain, and so by the end I looked like I’d stuck my head in a chip pan. Wasn’t quite the look I was going for…
Amen. See also ‘women on TV who wake up in the morning, fully made up and coiffed and bright-eyed’…
