Alaha Karimi, es una joven maquilladora que fue mamá en febrero, y como todas las mujeres debió pasar varias horas internada con contracciones. Para superar las molestias y hacer más llevadero el momento, encontró su propia forma para dejar de pensar en los dolores.

Karimi, dejó de lado la lectura y la televisión, tomó su gran estuche de cosméticos y comenzó a maquillarse para esperar el momento del parto, incluso, se puso pestañas postizas.

“Maquillarme me ayudaba a no pensar en las contracciones” dijo en una de las imágenes que publicó días después en su cuenta de Instagram. “Pestañas postizas en honor a mi princesa Sofía que llegaría al mundo unas horas después”, agregó en la misma foto.

Las imágenes recibieron muchos comentarios positivos, pero también hubieron quienes criticaron su conducta. “Me llamaron idiota” dijo al sitio de virales Buzzfeed. Sin embargo, ella respondió positiva a estos dichos negativos.

“¡No te sientas mal mientras das a luz, haz algo que te gusta! Échate base de maquillaje y disfruta del día”, dijo.

Además, explicó que antes de comenzar a maquillarse conversó con su médico para asegurarse de no cometer un error. “Me aseguré de que todo estaba bien. Lo que estaba haciendo no era perjudicial para mi bebé” contó, además comentó que cuando las contracciones se intensificaban dejaba los cosméticos a un lado y continuaba una vez que disminuían.

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!
