This might sound ridiculous but I know I’ll be looking and feeling grim around the time I have my baby but I am opting for an elective C section and want to feel good and planning to get my lashes done so I can feel nice in pictures and after during recovery too, are they allowed during a C section? Did anybody have lashes on and it was a problem? I heard if they do need to give you general anaesthetic they tape your eyes shut so I suppose would possibly rip some of them off but otherwise is it allowed ?

I’ve got a friend who had lash extensions for all 4 of her sections.

I had lashes during my elective c section x

Had lashes on through mine and it was fine :)

i had lashes on! i got some gel nails too😂 usually the tape isn’t massively sticky so it shouldn’t rip any out xx

I had lashes on x

I had lashes although the C-section wasn’t planned they never said anything about it although you do cry some off 😂😂

Although I didn’t have them done for my C-section I had them done for my little boys birthday party and my C-section was a couple weeks after and I still basically had the full set on, I don’t think lashes are a big deal I was just told no nail polish or acrylics and no jewellery, they put tape over my nose piercing and I took the rest off and my belly piercing out, I hope everything goes smoothly, my elective section was one of the best experiences I’ve had, I preferred it to my natural birth, everyone was so lovely and we made jokes the entire time and although they had explained the procedure beforehand they also told me everything they were doing throughout the process too!

I had lashes and biab nails and was no problem x

I had lashes, gel nails, wedding rings on, light powder and no issues. Each trust is different.

They put tape over piercings I believe but that’s it. Only thing I would 1000000% recommend is packing your spoolie and lash shampoo!!!! It’s likely you will cry at some point and the lashes go all hard and uncomfortable and keeping them fresh and clean will make you feel loads better!!!!
