Bengaluru woman used lipstick during labour to distract from pain
Engineer Myra Sharma explained that applying makeup was a personal coping mechanism to manage discomfort during childbirth.
Bengaluru and Patna-based engineer and content creator Myra Sharma applied lipstick while experiencing labour contractions to distract herself from the pain, according to a Times of India report.
Sharing a video on Instagram, Sharma explained that she chose to use makeup as a way to occupy her mind rather than simply lying down or screaming.
She stated that the activity served as a personal coping mechanism to divert her attention from the physical discomfort of the contractions.
Sharma noted that because this was her second pregnancy, she understood the process and knew that labour pain arrives in waves rather than continuously.
The content creator also mentioned that she has a high tolerance for pain due to having undergone several surgeries in the past.
She added that every woman experiences childbirth differently and should be allowed to manage the process in ways that feel right to them.
