Vain C-Section Question…

Incognito because I feel like this is a bit of a stupid/vain question.

But, am I allowed to put a bit of makeup on before my c section?
I’m having a planned section in a few weeks, and I just know that I feel more myself and more human with a little bit of makeup on. But I think I’ve seen things before about not wearing makeup because it’s surgery? Anyone have any ideas what’s allowed/not allowed?

I keep thinking that in theory if I was having an emergency section, I might have had makeup on anyway, and surely they wouldn’t make me take it off before rushing me in…so by that logic should it be okay?

most people like to take some pictures so why not 😅 Especially if it’s planned.
The only thing they asked me to do was take out body jewellery etc so earrings and nose ring etc x

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲
