Does anyone know if we are able to wear gel nail polish when in labour or not?

Depends on the trust but most places say that either your finger or toe nails should be varnish free to monitor oxygen levels. Especially imp if you end up with a section. I’m getting mine removed next week to be safe.

Ahhhh course. I'll ask midwife next time I see her xxxx

Gel polish is ok usually just not the gel nail extensions

I had gel nails with my first birth and was fine, they were able to get readings etc. I’m also planning on having my nails done for this one too xxx
