Kendra Wilkinson worried about giving birth... without makeup

Kendra Wilkinson is terrified she’ll forget to apply her mascara before giving birth.

The former Playboy playmate is expected to welcome her first child, a son, with husband Hank Baskett next month. Although she is looking forward to the experience, she is nervous she might not look her best in the delivery room.

“I want to have on at least a touch of mascara when I have the baby, it’d be awful if I didn’t,” she said. “I have heard a lot of horror stories - I know it’s going to be painful. But every woman goes through it. It’s natural for us. We’ve been doing it since the caveman days.”

Kendra, 24, can’t wait to meet her son but is currently trying to weigh up whether to have an epidural. She would like to have the back-numbing injection to make the birth less painful, but first must overcome her phobia of needles.

She told In Touch Weekly magazine: “I hate needles! But I am doing drugs - a lot of drugs! And afterwards I don’t want anybody saying I am holding the baby wrong, I don’t want anyone to judge me. I know there is a right and wrong way, but I want to hold my baby the way I want to hold him.”
