During the challenging process of labour, Bengaluru-based engineer and content creator Myra Sharma decided to apply lipstick, arguing that it helped her cope with the physical demands. In an Instagram video, she demonstrated her choice of distraction, which sparked curiosity and some criticism. For Myra, it was not about appearing glamorous but about finding a moment of personal comfort during a significant life event.
Her second pregnancy gave her more insight into her preferences, as she understood the ebb and flow of labour pain.
