Para algunas mujeres la espera para dar a luz en la sala de partos puede transformarse en un verdadero suplicio, pero para otras puede transformarse en una experiencia única.

Es el caso de la maquilladora profesional radicada en Nueva York, Alaha Karimi, quien en febrero pasado fue madre e hizo una ingeniosa espera antes de que naciera su bebé.

Según consigna el medio Huffingtonpost, Karimi no hizo lo típico que hacen algunas damas en los momentos pre parto, como por ejemplo, leer o ver televisión, sino que prefirió tomar su estuche profesional y hacer lo que mejor sabe: maquillarse. La artista, reconocida en Instagram como @makeupbyalaha, fue colocándose maquillaje, rimel y sombras, mientras su hermana captaba cada momento con su cámara.

El motivo para hacerlo, según confesó en su cuenta de Instagram, fue para, principalmente, evitar ponerse nerviosa. “Maquillarme me ayudaba a no pensar en las contracciones”, explicó

La primera imagen con su hija Sofia Alaya Karimi, tuvo más de 8.000 Me gusta en esta plataforma y más de 1.500 comentarios felicitando a la fémina por su ingeniosa espera.

A continuación te dejamos con algunas de las fotografías que compartió Alaha.

Hello beautiful people, first off, thank you for the love on my latest instagram posts that featured me doing my makeup during labor. As promised, below is a FULL list of makeup details! I have received THOUSANDS of comments and messages as to what primer and setting spray I used and you will find all that down below. Love you guys and thank you for your endless support! ❤️ I now some were laughing because I said I only took "some of my favorite products" and as you can clearly see from the pics and the details below… It's a ton of makeup! Lol however, this statement was based solely on the fact that I had SO much makeup to choose from and I narrowed it down to only my favorite things that I knew would hold up through all the tears and emotions!

We would like to take a second to welcome our precious angel, Sofia Alaya Karimi, into the world. Baby Sofia was born two nights ago, on February 15, 2016 at 6:19pm weighing 8lbs 13oz and a height of 21.5 inches. Mash'allah! Both of us are doing well Alhamdullilah. She has only been a part of our lives for two days and I can't even remember what life was like before her. She has changed our lives in ways we never thought were possible and has given us the most beautiful outlook on life. How could a little human who we have only known for 48 hours, have so much impact on our lives? Both hubby and I are so in love with her that we stare at her for hours as our hearts fill with joy, and our eyes fill with tears trying to understand how we became so lucky to be chosen as her parents. Subhanallah, Mash'allah, Alhamdullilah, times a million for everything God has blessed us with! I know many people are asking for pics, and I'm sorry but her father and I have decided to keep her beautiful face private for some time to keep her all to ourselves a little while longer and keep her away from evil eyes or Nazar (it's a cultural/religious thing and I hope you all understand). Family and friends are more than welcome to reach out and come visit once we are settled in and well-adjusted. Thank you to all those who sent flowers, texts, emails, calls, etc. I haven't been able to get back to everyone individually but I will as soon as I can. Now many of you are probably wondering about this picture, LOL! It was taken the minute she was first handed to me after I delivered her, look at her little head in my palm. Yes, I went full glam lol and I'll post more pics later of me doing my makeup DURING Labor and pausing for the severe contractions lol. And yes, I wore my @hudabeauty @shophudabeauty mink lashes in "SOPHIA" since it was appropriate lol. I had a natural birth alhamdullilah so it was tough, but I'm lucky enough to have been able to experience it firsthand and am so grateful. I prayed for all of the women who are trying to conceive to get to experience this beautiful feeling as well inshallah! Again, thank you all for the sweet messages, wishes, and love! God bless!
