Eyelash Extensions during a C section?

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.

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, 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!!!!

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.

Newborn stage

Is anyone tired of doing the same thing everyday and being on a 2-3 hour schedule? It’s the same everyday and I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s making me depressed even if I get out once a day. When does it get better? I feel like I’m just waiting for the next stage where it’s not just sitting around all day.

Hospital bag (UK)

What did everyone pack for their section? I'm staying in for 3 days due to mental health, not really sure what I'll need to bring, feeling very nervous. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
