Can you wear acrylic nails while giving birth. The main risk with the use of acrylic nail and other salon products is from exposure to solvent fumes. Not to mention you could accidentally poke lil baby on accident. As for makeup Id say that theyll ask you to remove it for surgery.

Believe me no amount of make up or pretty nails can make a woman look glamorous in a hospital gown and hair net. Nail salons use some pretty strong chemicals and you only want to have limited exposure to these products. While in many cases acrylic nails are safe to apply and wear you should know the risks surrounding their use.

Unlike acrylic nails gel nails have to be removed by filing and soaking. If you do- use a light color. At no point during your labor will they be looking at your nails to check your health Im telling you that as a nurse.

You can get acrylic nails during pregnancy. The issue is the oximeter the machine that measures the oxygen in your blood goes on your fingertip- and wont always read through thick or dark nail polish. You can wear nail polish not sure where you heard that but its not true.

After giving birth the growthrest cycle goes back to its previous pattern so you may notice more hair falling out. Everything was fine during labour however I needed an emergency C-section as my baby was in distress. Labor Delivery.

However acrylic nail treatments can give off a strong smell that you may find irritating and there may be a higher risk of infection with this treatment. Dont want to risk it exp since hands are always on baby or by babys face. A chemical solvent called acetone is used to soak off gel.
