Anyone have, or plan to cut their hair once LO arrives?  If so, I'd love to see your inspiration photos!!!

 One of my thoughts:

    Not me.  I have tried having short hair after a baby.  Too much work.  I want to be able to pull it back if I don't have time to do anything with it.  I love the cut in the picture though.  My hair would never do that though.  Sad

    I look terrible with short hair! Will definitely be keeping mine long for a looooong time!

    I'm thinking about it! Long hair is hard work, but I also don't want to lose the option of tying it up for those lazy days. This is what I was thinking for a cut:

    I did dye my hair red and black today! Feels nice to have a change :) (And I did my nails!)

    I just chopped mine! I've never had it this short before, but I love it.

    My hair is naturally really thick and it was getting thicker! And I was wearing it up a lot, which was causing me headaches. Or at least I thought so. I chopped it off a few weeks ago and the headaches have drastically decreased. I may think about growing it a little longer after baby, but I tend to always go back to short hair. 
    Because you're mine, I walk the line....

    Stylist chiming in here.  Many of the looks that are short hair on celebrities, still require a great deal of styling.  I'd definitely talk with your stylist before you chop because a wash and go style (if that's what you are planning on) is a really hard thing to achieve.  Especially when you take into account hair texture, thickness, etc.

    Now, my opinion on the style is that it is very cute.  I wish I could get my hair to do something like that.

    I just cut 12 inches from my hair and its just above my shoulders.  Still long enough to tie back but short enough that it doesn't take an hour to blow dry and straighten.  I'm actually loving it :)

    I thought about it but I like my long hair well enough..that said I have not even had a trim  since LAST May (well over a year ago) so I definitely need a new cut....not sure how short though.

    I'd probably go with something like this:

    I actually got it cut similar to this about a year ago (when I chopped off my wedding hair), but have since let it grow a little longer/not so clean in the cut.

    NO!!!!!!!!!!! I know there will be days when I wont be able to style my hair like I normally do but I always felt like the "mom" haircut was a way of giving up. 

    I have SUPER thick hair and its at my waist. I love it, have had it that way for years, and I'm not cutting it. EVER. Yes, I have to straighten it but its also super cute and easy just to wear wavy so I have options. I like that I can put it in a pony tail or a bun if I need to and not have to think twice about it.

    I think if I did ever cut my hair short I'd look like a hot mess. Thick hair isn't meant to be cut short...it just expands.... (I learned this when my mom cut hers short) you can't even thin it out enough to make it somewhat work.

    Mine was long until a month ago when I cut it (10 inches) to donate to locks of love.  It's now just past my shoulders and I like it a lot more.  Still long enough to pull back, but not as much of a hassle and it doesn't get as tangled or take as much work!  

    I just cut mine about a month ago too, I cut about 5.5 inches off and it is just past my shoulders. It is much faster to blowdry and just as easy to leave curly.

    I've been thinking about it too and love this look (which funny enough is a pic of Mandy Moore too).. Just not sure how my curly hair would do with it... It'd be a lot of work to straighten everyday:
