Reading mixed things online saying that we can’t get them done bc the pulse reader? Just wanting to see if they actually really care x

Got mine done before my section and had no issues at all. You’ll be fine :) x

I had acrylics on everything was fine

Both times.
I asked my obstetrician and she said it was fine. She even put the monitor on my finger to show me it worked perfectly. I had gels all through pregnancy and she even asked what colour I’d have for the births.
They have so many ways of monitoring you, neither time having my nails done was an issue. Wasn’t even told it would be.

I had mine done 2 days before and was getting compliments about them, I don’t think they care that much x

Had mine done too! Think they put some of monitoring on my toes instead

They can pop it on your toe if they struggle with your fingernail gel polish 🙂

I didn’t have my BIAB on when I had my c section but then I did have a surprise operation 5 weeks later and I did have them done, but they just put the monitor on my toe instead 😂 I don’t think it bothers them now!

I had my nails done. When I went in for my pre op they mentioned about me taking it off but I didn't and I didn't have a problem when I went in.
Which one??

I had an emergency c section in 2024 and this year I’ve noticed something new that keeps happening and I don’t know if it’s linked to having a c section. I’ve noticed when I’m getting out the shower/bath and I’m bending forward to dry my legs and feet I get this random tight knot feeling in my stomach ( few inches above scar). It scares me but soon as I stand back straight it goes. Has anyone else experienced this?

He was born at 2:33pm today but decided to breathe in his amniotic fluid instead of air. Not improving as fast as they like so we went on the cpap and are going to be getting transferred to the nicu at a different hospital. Hopefully he improves soon so we can all go home together.

Hi, I had an emergency C section 2 weeks ago exactly, it was a pretty horrendous C section in the end 😭 but my question… I’m still finding myself in some pain, a soreness around my scar, a pain inside my stomach and a strain when I wee, is anyone else experiencing this please? I’m taking pain killers when it gets bad maybe once / twice a day if I really need! I really thought the pain would have been gone by now 😭😭

I feel baby moving about once a day, and this is my second pregnancy. Im 20 weeks, just thought that as its my second pregnancy, they would be more often by now, and it worries me because today I've not really felt much, maybe a possible one or two, but not substantial.

Sooo my daughter is now 4 months old so I know this is kinda a while back but it’s playing on my mind . When we went for the 6-8 week check up only my daughter was checked over - was told my blood pressure, weight etc was going to be done but we was rushed out so I was never checked over . She’s also put down on the nhs app inaccurate readings as nothing was done for me at that appointment:/ was just pushed aside and not properly checked from the moment I gave birth to my daughter
And my placenta had ragged membranes and I am now having bad pains and issues in that area 😞just don’t know what to do anymore
Sorry for the long rant
21 year old ftm
my daughter was in the nicu for the first month of her life so I can understand why main focus was on her but I still needed checking too 🙁
