I had acrylics for my c section! It wasn't a problem. They just made me take my jewellery off. Maybe ask your midwife just in case.

I had gels for both C-sections, plus I wore my rings and had makeup on still.
I asked both times about nails and they said it made zero difference as their tech had no issues with it. Every trust is different so just ask.

I was told I could have them on as long as they were short enough to get the thing on my finger and I had bare toes so they could see the skin and nails
I’m 31 weeks and I think I’ve made my mind up about a vbac.
I think I’ll book in an elective for 41 weeks (as late as they’ll let me) and see if labour naturally happens before then.
I’m hoping this is the right decision but it’s difficult to differentiate fear over intuition.
Has anyone got any advice on having a vbac? How to physically prepare beforehand and in the hospital?
Just for context, there will be just under 16 months between my first and this baby

my son doesn’t really have any baby friends. I’m hoping to make friends with some mums so they could come to his first birthday party with their babies in October… Cake toys games and music… I just want to make it a special day for him so he can have some buddies.. 💞

People talk about an energy boost and feeling more yourself in the 2nd trimester. I’m 14w3days today and still feel as tired, low and not myself as I did in the first trimester!! Did other people find this and when did you start feeling better?? xxx

I’m 40+5 today and a VBAC and feeling the pressure from midwives to have intervention- anyone else waiting it out? Or any recent positive overdue experiences?

I love it, it’s my childs grandfathers middle name, but the rest of his dads family is saying no it’s too girly. :(

Are we technically only 3-4 weeks still? Not going by gestational age.
