Hair done for birth?

Guess before I get dragged about the title because labor wasn’t plan or y’all just go in with messy buns or it’s going to get messed up anyway attitudes.. I should maybe say this is mainly targeted to my African American ladies.

I don’t want to have to deal with my hair for a while and I know a lot of moms who get box braids or Loc’s in before their due date. This is my first time so I want to know when should I plan out to get my hair done ? anyone else getting their hair braided?
